I have quite enjoyed this game. I like the building up and the support from my alliance is great.
However, a game that's about growth is pointless when you cannot grow due to bugs. The inability of the GMs to provide any update other than we are investigating doesn't fill me with confidence for the future and means that building any sense of identity with the position is likely to be a waste of time. I'll persevere for now simply because not to do so would be letting down those alliance buddies who have supported me so much but it will certainly be some time before I spend any more cash on the game and I would recommend caution from anyone thinking of starting up.

I sent some scouts to those corrupted squares and they died as I had expected them to, they didn't become stuck as others have reported here. Perhaps this is a sign that a fix is in progress?
When the developers began to roll out faction AI I reported a bug with that and it took a very long time, but it was eventually fixed.

As the game grows (albeit slowly) the complexity of the code also increases massively. This makes finding and fixing bugs much harder. Each small piece of code probably interacts with several other pieces which then interact with several others...you get the picture. A small change to one part to fix a bug may well inadvertently cause others in seemingly unrelated pieces of code. This is my best guess on why the fixing of bugs seems to take so long.

Well the main reason is that the game doesn't make enough money.

I'm looking into this as the topmost priority on my list and hope to have it resolved shortly.
Many apologies for the inconvenience, and please bear with us. Best, SC

Hey folks,
We believe we've found the root of the problem and have remedied the issue. Players shouldn't experience this particular bug going forward, however if anyone does experience stuck diplo units or anything similar please send an IGM to GM Cerberus and i'll remedy the situation best I can. Thank you for your patience and understanding. GM Cerberus

Many thanks - your efforts are appreciated. Some of us do understand what a monumental task it is bug hunting in such a massive game.
At the moment my "stuck" army has disappeared from the movements tab but is still "on manoeuvres" in the armies tab if this is of any help. |

Remember to be nice to the squirrel.
