Noble train bug

[DeletedUser]

Hi,

I've been having a really annoying bug, namely a broken 'Units'-screen. After sending a noble train in which the nuke landed first as seen in the 'Units'-screen, the actual attacks showed reports with the nuke landing second, ruining the noble train. I do have a level 25 Barracks in the city, so I crossed out discipline as the reason for the bug.

the order in the unit movement overview is in the order you send the attacks, not the arrival times.
And Barrack of level 25 doesn't remove discipline, it lowers it by 99%

Cause you have 8 different units with the first attack, and it still took 3 and a half hour. The discipline was still a couple milliseconds. So if you are 'unlucky' the first attack arrived a little later, and the second a bit early cause of it.

e.g 1st arrives 4:40:15:340
2nd arrives at 4:40:15:100
the milliseconds are not shown, but they are still there.

tip: In the future you can change your computer times several times until the first 2 attacks show a different arrival time to check which one is first. Because it shows your local time.

To take the same example, if you forwarded your clock 300 milliseconds you would have seen this:
1st attack: 4:40:15:640 = 4:40:16
2nd attack: 4:40:15:400 = 4:40:15

or wait a tiny bit longer when sending your nukes.

Yup, basically milliseconds aren't shown BUT that is the reason for what's just happened as Morgor pointed out. Your nuke was milliseconds slower than your 2nd noble due to discipline.

@Morgor millisecond is 1 thousand of a second so 1 second = 1000 ms

@Morgor millisecond is 1 thousand of a second so 1 second = 1000 ms

lol yea, mistakes happen. Just edited the message to avoid further confusion, thanks.

Thank you for the post. As explained by fellow gamers it is not a bug, but related to discipline and arguably confusing way to show the arrival time/order. Essentially if your attacks arrive at the same second, there is no way to know which one arrives first. Therefore you want to make sure that your clearance hit arrives on a different second before the nobles that are escorted by just a few units.

This @Citrus unfortunately leaves a small gap for sniping

That is correct and I assume, intentional.

That is correct and I assume, intentional.

But, defenders already have a big advantage, that one second gap gives them more of an advantage..

Maybe, but this is not the correct topic to talk about the game balance.
