i just played a friendly MP game. All patched up and ready to go, I took that famously balanced army of 12 Korean skirmishers and 4 MLC. Fair enough. all of a sudden though I'm fighting muskets and Ninja with my boys. They performed well, put up a stirling attack but somehow a time machine has been invented. One thing i did discover is that Javelinmen are the only way to deal wiht Battlefield Ninja. Three volleys and bye bye Ninja. They couldn't even get within range. But what is going on ...

What you are mentioning is a stange bug indeed... if someone joins a game at the exact same time the host changes the era, there may be a mixed army like that.
For example, I wanted to host a late japanese game but accidentally set it up as mongel. The very second i restarted the game with the correct era -- two people joined up. It was like they were already waiting for me in the lobby before I even got there. When the game started I had guns. Someone else asked if it was mongel or jap, and i said jap. HEHE to my surprise my ally and one opponent told me they were mongel and a very odd game ensued.
This needs to be fixed quickly, as honor hogs will try to capitalize on this bug to trick people in comp games

I was wondering how long it would take before someone noticed this bug. We found it during beta testing.
If a host first hosts a MI battle, then exits and hosts a SJ battle (quickly) then the joiners sometimes can select Mongol forces. Could also be triggered by the host first selecting MI and then quickly selecting SJ and hosting perhaps, but I haven't tried this.
Maybe this is a bit more prone to dropped internet connections though, especially if all the players select many different trop types, as the huge amount of unit graphics to load can cause video cards to run out of memory.
Still, this is one bug I'm glad they didn't fix.
