Found something quite strange during my game as Scipii...

Besieging Rhodes, and as it has the plague, I'm not assaulting, but waiting for it to disappear (don't want to lose my soldiers to plague, and anyway, it reduces the enemies' troops each turn).
The city is supposed to last four turns.

So I'm here :

Then I'm waiting a turn. There is no battle, no breaking of the siege. The population surely decrease a little bit due to the plague, but just a little bit, and still, the next season...

Do they use the corpse of the deads as food, or what ?

I suppose it's a bug, but I really don't understand from where it comes. Do I have missed something here ?

Look carefully at the two pictures. In the second one, the skull is gone. Your siege cured the plague, and now they can breed in peace again.

Looks like your timing was impeccable.

Edit:

Oh, I see, you're looking at the timer. The timer in the city view window is useless. Hover your cursor over the map view of the city, that will give you the real number of turns.

Yes, I'm quite proud of my (totally accidental, ok) timing ^^

But well, yes, the point was about the number of turns the city could hold out.
I already use the on-map timer, but I'm just making sure it's a bug of the game, and not informations I missed.

It's a bug. A real-live, striaghtforward, no-arguing-the-point bug.

Be careful though, Akka. The enemy generals can still carry the plaque even though the settlement has none anymore.

No, not anymore.
May they rest in peace. Their sallying was really a bad idea ~D
