Instr Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) The game is currently allowing me to nuke on the same day I was declared on. Peculiarities: I was declared on and immediately issued a defeat alert as I had no soldiers at the time. My opponent declared on me, somehow, with 200% my NS. Part of it could have been that he had dropped planes when he declared, which should add up to 3600 NS. From his warchest reading, it's also likely he sold off huge amounts of infra, then bought back up. It's also possible he sold and rebought nukes to engage me. I was 20 days inactive, then collected. I had no nukes when I was declared on, then bought two nukes promptly. ==== I am currently planning to take advantage of my good fortune at update. An immediate instruction not to would be enough to prevent my happiness. Edited January 18, 2012 by Instr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do have to acknowledge my good fortune, I was unfortunately late to update and was unable to exploit my free nuke. It's likely that admin would had reverted the nuke damage as well.

Gopherbashi Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm not sure how this relates to you being able to nuke Ryan R between 1/18/2012 4:59:13 AM and 1/19/2012 5:00:00 AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceknave Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Were you able to nuke before 1/19/2012 5:00:00 AM? If yes, then there might be a bug. If no, then there is no bug. After a war declaration, you can nuke 24 hours after the war declaration rounded UP to the near hour regardless. In your case, you would have been able to start nuking after 5AM on the 1/19/2012.

Captain Nathan Brittles Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 According to the Nuclear Newa Report the first nuke he launched after the declaration was at 11:53:26 PM on the 19th. Well after the waiting period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instr Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I refrained from nuking him while the bug was in effect. I'm just trying to report a bug: I did not exploit it and I don't think my counterparty has a desire for restitution considering that he was never nuked. I think the only way to replicate it would be: -Dummy nation 1 starts in nuclear anarchy, government is set to anarchy -0 nukes -HNMS -WRC -0 Soldiers, some tanks -20 or 22 days inactive? -Dummy nation 2 declares on dummy nation 1 while holding nukes -Defeat alerts dummy nation 1 immediately, while doing no other attacks. -Dummy nation 1 buys nukes. -Dummy nation 1 checks whether it can nuke dummy nation 2 If it can't, this bug is a CNR / Cannot Reproduce.

Iceknave Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hmm, and you're 100% positive that before 1/19/2012 5:00:00 AM, you were able to to go to War & Battles --> Dropdown Menu on Target --> Nuclear Weapons and see a Launch Nuke screen and NOT a sorry, please wait 24 hours before trying to nuke screen? Damn, you should have screen shot that. It would confirm without a doubt whether it's a bug or not. For all we know, it might be a one off quirky bug with very specific conditions to trigger, something that happens like once in a blue moon...

nippy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've had the nuke button show up for me prior to the required time, only to be told it hasn't been long enough to launch a nuke. Apparently, there are two fail-safes coded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlord Wes Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 If you are fighting with a nation then re-declare after it expires, the 'Launch Nuke' button will show up. However, if you try to click on it it will give you the message nippy mentioned. Could this be what happened to you, Instr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instr Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Probably. That was the third round of war. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WWabm.png[/IMG] After deleting the old wars, this message disappeared. And as Nippy suggested, actually clicking on the button gave me an error message.
