THE CLONES ARE ATTACKING!!!!

[saftglas]

I have just send a spy into a AS town and noticed the following phenomenon:

1st General:


2nd General:


funny thing, isn't it?^^

[socal_infidel]

I've taken Pura in my Pahlava campaign. Does anyone know if the cloning facility only becomes available once I undertake the Pahlava Government Reforms? And how much does it cost? Dunno if I should spring for that mine in Karmana or wait to get the cloning facility?

[Hax]

I have reported this bug a couple of months ago in the internal forums, and it looks very weird.

Try and see what happens when you move_character.

[saftglas]

ah^^

it doesn't matter if there is one more general in town^^
just 100 dead men more ;)

but this could be interesting^^
interesting to know WHY he was cloned ;)

WT?!

well, I guess the guy was so awesome, AS developed a secret project to clone their best generals..otherwise, I dunno the cause.

I have read that the Seleucids had a habit of adopting successful military tactics... maybe cloning was one of them.

how do we know you didnt just copy the same picture

I believe we have someone here that doesn't quit get the EB forums at the .org.

Why the hell would he do such a thing in the first place? Such a thing adds nothing to what we're trying to fix here in the first place.

===================

I've seen this sort of thing before. I believe I know roughly what's going on and would like to confirm my suspicions. Your speculation doesn't explain why the two otherwise identical characters have bodyguards of different sizes. I think I can.

Weird thing is, it looks like the second guy was loaded as a client ruler.

[V.T. Marvin]

The same thing happened to me on several occasions, when a Seleucid general was a Client ruler (for instance in Asaak) and therefore NOT a family member and NOT with standard bodyguard (for instance Babylonian spearmen). It seems to me, that under certain conditions the game just creates a unit of Somatophylakes Strategou (standard FM bodygard) for him, thus making him appearing twice... Why? I have no idea, though...

@Hax - Anyway, the client ruler was the FIRST guy, while the FM (Somatophylakes) is spawned only afterwards.

[Hax]

They both aren't client rulers in the first place. Look at the government type.

[Emperor Burakuku]

I always knew that they had the technology! And they called me crazy... the one that who laughs last... who was it? Oh yeah, is the last one to laugh... or was it...

[Hax]

I looked for Artaxias and he's only mentioned once in descr_strat so either through some weird coincidence you had a general that got the same name and portrat... or if more generals have that issue it's like descr_strat got executed twice, it may be related to switching factions without quitting EB first, like starting a campaign with a faction and then resuming your saved game with another... or the other way around...

As I said, I reported this weird bug a few months ago in the internal forums. Perhaps this could be your answer?

[Aaldaemon]

I can't believe I conquered Pura and did not notice it. I'll have to actually look more closely at enemy characters from now on... might find more clones.

[Atilius]

I have just send a spy into a AS town and noticed the following phenomenon:

If you have a saved game in which he's still alive, please post it.

[saftglas]

yes I have, but why? Oo

[Atilius]

yes I have, but why?

So we can try to understand what's happening and perhaps even fix the problem.

[Hax]

Atilius, probably he just loaded the descr_strat twice, making the guy appear twice (e.g by loading another campaign and so activating the script twice).
