Auto-combat??

[Hellpig]

I think that in every game that I have played of C3C there has occured something strange - automatic combat. I don't know if this is a known bug, looked around in these forums but found nothing (which doesn't mean a thing as the 'real' search option is turned off). Anyways, this is what happens:

1. My troops/army stands just outside an enemy city.
2. During the automatic movement phase a battle of the city occurs.
3. You can see the animation of the fighting defenders but not my troops animation.
4. My troops has allways (so far) won this type of battle
5. Some of my troops moves into the city

Strange or a known bug? U tell me! As this 'bug' allways seems to favour me I wont complain too much but it's still annoying...

At first I thought you were talking about ZOC, but then I realized this was something completely different. I have never seen this before, I have no idea what that is.

I see this all the time. It happens when you attack with a stack. The computer forgets to update the animation of the attacker or defender after the first or second attack. The worst part is you can't see how many units you lose or how damaged they get till afterwards.

Sounds like the computer is simply attacking you from the city during it's turn, but your units are either not getting damaged -- or they're being completely eliminated but there's so many of them you haven't noticed the losses.

But he said his troops move into the city.

Oh I kinda missed that. But isn't that more like "The units *appear* to be moving into the city" ie -- during their attack anim, rather than they are actually entering the city.

Otherwise, oops, I don't know then.

Well, at first I also thought that the CPU was attacking me. But woe to my surprise when about 5-6 of my units moved into the city after the defenders were killed.
Note: my "attacking" units don't show at all until the battle is won and they move into the city to occupy it...

Ok, I need a clarification here. Is this happening during your turn, or the AI's turn?

as Qarus said, this is when you attack with a stack of units, it is a known bug that the graphics do not show after a while, and you can only see the defending units...
