Age 2 is starting soon because of what happened. Also, I think I know who caused the glitch which pretty much ruined the game, but I would like to know how. If anyone has any information about the glitch at all, please tell me. It would help the game, and if this helps fix whatever glitch was exploited, I will give you some award.

i dont know how the glitch started, but i do know i was the first with the multigazillions. i was looking thru the attack list to see who had the most money to attack and saw that 420sniper had 18,00,000,000,000,000,000 some galos. figured it was a bug or something so i attacked him for the hell of it. according to my attack log i got 0 galos when i actually ended up with ALL of his galos. i figured it would signal the end of the age, so i maxed my upgrades out and got quite a few weapons. since i got the attack, everyone started watching 420sniper and then you see where it lead. top 8 people have in the neighborhood of 180 million def and attack. nogard666 has over 204million attack. def i dont know. but 420sniper was the root of the glitch. i do know that much. ---- Joe aka "Dubble Dukes"

Note that 420sniper also has 18*10^18 soldiers, which was probably the original glitch. Maybe there was some sort of under-flow error when thehorde captured from him, shortly before he struck it rich.

I know everything about the glitch-- how to cause it (I caused it Beta 4) and how to fix it. As I said before, I won't tell Sasha how to fix it, but I will fix it myself if he gives my administrative access. I think my honor can be showed when I told I exploited the bug and I didn't attack Dave Strenge until he didn't obey the ultimatum. ---- *I agree not to post any abusive, obscene, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.* I do not agree to abide by the** qwidwsasd's rule, as I don't know what it is.

I am pretty sure it happens because someone can somehow get negative money, but since money is unsigned, it becomes huge. I will fix this in a "cheap" way by making money signed and then just checking if a persons money becomes negative. ---- "The perfect computer has been developed.

If it happened because of negative money, then how did sniper get so many soldiers? The game won't let you buy that many soldiers no matter how much money you have. You might want to make the soldiers signed too if you haven't already.

The money is a biproduct of the soldiers... duh why do you think in beta 4 when Dragon did it that the soldiers came first then after the update the money came... the soldiers are the key now he somehow captured with more then 1 turn. Make turns signed and that is what you have to do.. it is the only logical explanation if you took a look at what happened in beta 4. ---- Number one in karma and check http://www.solarconflict.com/beta_awards.php to see more about me =) Bow down to the all powerful ME
