Weird bug (1.03.56 I think)

Hi all,

I was just playing a game where I invaded the Yor home system with ~5b troops, which contained 4 planets (2 18s and 2 19s) (with about 9b population each).
Anyway, I win the battle (just!) - and then find that each planet has 100b population (and of course morale = 1%)!
(Though, despite shipping lots of troops off with transports and building things, I never got morale above 1% for the rest of the game. And though I had the "unhappy people" icon on the system for the rest of the game, it never rebelled or defected - what does it take to get a system defect, if 1% morale won't do it?)

I suspect that I probably had ~400m troops left after winning - so could this be a million turning into a billion by accident (sounds like a simple to fix code bug)

They had the "comeback" event going if this makes any difference.

Does anyone know if this is a known bug? (And if its fixed, and only occurred because I've been too lazy to update for a week or so)?

Cheers all,

What invasion tactic did you use?

Sorry, I don't recall with certainty.

I have a suspicion it might have been the "information warfare" one (whatever its called, costs like 2200 bc and subverts some of their population to your side).
It could however have been a traditional invasion, and there's a very vague possibility it might have been the gas invasion one.
Certainly none of the others.

Information warfare and maybe some of the other tactics accidentally increase the population. I'll have to see if I can get that fixed for the expansion.

#3: Only "Information warfare" is buggy. The other available tactics do not affect the defending+attacking population, which eliminate those as potential culprits.

It doesn't mean that there might be other bugs attached with them (e.g. Not updating the money display immediatly after the attack...)
