Viluin Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Ground attack -> Buy Guerrilla Camps -> Check GA screen, 97% odds -> No defeat alert? Then I just sold the camps and GA'd a second time. But why wasn't a defeat alert sent? It just showed the usual story about anarchy and stuff, but no damage was reported and no DA message was sent despite the nation's inability to defend itself and me still having a GA left for the day. I've also added up the damage caused by my attacks and I'm certain no DA damage took place. EDIT: No nuclear weapons were involved.

Captain Nathan Brittles Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Were there other nations at war with the target? If so, could one of them have issued the defeat alert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the guy: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=186186 He was anarchied pre-update and I attempted to give him a DA post-update, which failed. I'm not sure why this would happen and I'm really interested in finding out, because defeat alerts are a huge part of my strategy. Don't think I've ever noticed this before. If it turns out to be a bug don't bother applying the damage to the target nation anyway, that won't be necessary lol.

Viluin Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) You cannot attack Damasca at this time because their battle odds are at 3% and are not high enough to fight your forces. The government of Damasca has just been sent into Anarchy due to their lack of security forces. Riots engulf the nation of Damasca as your soldiers relax and enjoy their victory. Where is the defeat alert? I still had one ground attack left for the day (no nukes involved). I know this worked in the past, I used to GA -> Defeat Alert -> GA (after destroying improvements) all the time.

admin Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you can't do a defeat alert it means they are already in Anarchy for the day. The defender probably self Anarchy'ed before you came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcortell Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Could you have re-anarchied him with your first GA? Is that a possible reason for why he wouldn't get the DA in after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK anarchying someone through a ground attack never counted as that nation being "defeated" for the day. Only a nuke, a defeat alert or overdeploying would do that.

[/quote] I haven't attempted to do this recently because I don't feel like possibly losing an opportunity to GA only to find out the defeat alert doesn't work, plus it requires planning beforehand as well as an update attack. It's the 1x GA -> Defeat alert combo that seems to have stopped working, because it did work in the past.

EndOfArgument Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 This just happened to me. I attacked once, then redeployed more troops to get the DA. I have 97% odds now with an attack leftover but no DA was sent.

[/quote] I don't think this has ever been possible. I never did this in the hundreds of wars I fought in, and in fact, it's the classic problem of two people deploy vs someone, one of them does aggressive and causes too many casualties, then the second cannot do anything - no defeat alert nor GA. You can do Defeat Alert -> sell stuff -> GAx2, but I don't think you've ever been able to cause a defeat alert after someone was GA'd (or nuked without the FSS). Unless things have changed in the years I was away to cause a defeat alert required the FIRST attempt to attack on ground to have the 95% odds, and if you were to do a GA before hitting a defeat alert, you'd not be able to cause a defeat alert.

This assertion is wrong however, it's been possible for as long as I can remember. I've done it in the same timeframe as the initial report. I have records dating back to GW3 where I was able to GA -> Defeat Alert -> GA. As mentioned by Viluin some use it as a strategy. The question is how reliably can the problem be produced? It's not looking very reproducable given the small number of reports measured against the huge number of wars/attacks made since the initial report.

USMC123 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I actually had issues with defeat alerts similar to the posters above during the Tetris-Legion war. I couldn't get a defeat alert for the life of me... I thought it was just me/I was doing something wrong, but seeing the OP makes me think there might be something going on.

I think the answer is simply to ignore it and toss nukes if you have them. Considering the age of this thread and the Mod comments above....they don't care. The lesson is that if your problem is simply 'anecdotal' and you can't prove that it happened -- tell me, how do I show a copy of a PM that was neither created nor sent? -- then nothing will happen.

Your first attack put the defending soldiers at less than 20% of his citizens, he had no deployed soldiers to bring home, so he was automatically thrown in Anarchy during your first attack. I missed this piece of code when I responded previously, "If you can't do a defeat alert it means they are already in Anarchy for the day" which is true, however it could either be the defender putting themselves in Anarchy, or another way is via an initial attack putting them below 20% soldiers:citizens.
