Vortex Wars

So, I was playing an 8 player game. Two low level players spawned on top of me, with a 3rd higher level (orange) spawning close, but at a reasonable distance. The two

Several players complained of lag, and left. After yellow left, I started noticing the lag as well, as it jumped through someone's placement phase instant, and from then on, it behaved rather strangely. It seemed like about every other turn, I'd get my movement phase, and often would not get placement after that. The turn after I could not place, I would get instantly put into the placement phase, without a chance to move. Similar things were happening to orange. Sometimes placements would not stick, and after appearing to place, it would take them back, and put them in storage. It may've simply dropped them other times. It led to interesting tactics of not attacking with some, as I was unsure of if reinforcements would get placed, or if orange was even having an attack phase in the next round XD

As you can see from the image, I have reinforcements in storage, it is orange's turn, and I'm nowhere near saturated.

This happens to a lot of people, but most people only get it around once a month. There's a lot of different variations of it, such as it lets you place troops, but it also places half of them for you, and sometimes it gets rid of all the placed troops entirely. One time in my game someone even got a 10.

I've never had a response from Lopdo on it, but it's probably just epic lag.

Eeyup. Scared the crap outta me.

kind to think of it... slendy did manage to place 32 units on one region ONCE... all the sudden it was followed by 4 surrenders and some dude praying in the game chat in spanish xD
PS... everyone... even me, in that game, s*** bricks...

Good news everyone! I found a way how to reproduce this kinds of problems. And what can be reproduced can be fixed. Let's see what can be done about it

Thank you Lopdo! Thank you, thank you!
