Seniority bug with randomization

Fri Aug 17, 2007 7:24 am

I had a victorious battle in which two participating commanders were congratulated.

Looking at one commander, I noticed the following information on seniority change- 4 [6].

Looking at the second commander, I saw this information on seniority change-122 [112].

Notice that the first two star commander appears to change from seniority 6 to 4. Makes sense as he was congratulated for a good performance in a victory.

However the second one star commander went from seniority of 112 to 122. He was also congratulated during the victory but apparantly had his seniority dropped to a lower seniority of 122 from 112.

I have noticed a number of similiar situations in which the seniority changes didn't make sense after a commander was congratulated. However this situation had two commanders with an obvious conflict between how the two seniority changes were displayed/handled after congratulations.

I suspect this may be a bug. Has anyone else noticed this type of conflict after congratulations of a commander?


I posted the above in the general forum but wanted to post here as well. Runyuns response stated that there appears to be a problem with seniority promotions when leader randomization is used.

This problem is fairly important because proper seniority promotion plays an important role in the game. IMO, proper seniority promotion is a more valuable feature than randomization. Thus we can't, unfortunately, use randomization even though it is a very attractive feature as well.

Sound weird. There is no magical value (100 or more) where the promotion code behave differently. And there is no conflict because the promotion code simply don't care about seniority being the same between 2 generals.
As usual, if you have the turn before and after the promotion, I can take a look.
