I need help from a dev with this. I belive its been said that per lvl over your own pve lvl nightmares get a rank of nightmareish manuvers and one of the effects of this is 10% dodge per lvl. now that would mean a nightmare 9 above your own lvl would have 90% dodge. however some nightmares also have a +?% dodge Chance ability- I belive that simply means that whatever ?% of the time they may or may not dodge that attack. some people think that a nightmare having 90% dodge and another 10% dodge chance on top of that makes it so normal attacks dont hit it. I dont belive this is the case but I would like second opinions on the matter.

The problem acuring when you get the message "User already login" is that your connection with the server was severed so abruptly that the game client didn't have a chance to send its last packet saying there was a problem or its packet was served in transmission and the server cant respond correctly. also it is partly the servers fault because it doesn't realize that the connection between your computer and it has been severed. This can result in things like a territory being captured even though you crashed(still thinks you are there for the rest of the time).

What happens when you try to loging and the system already considers you login- it disconnects the other connection and resets your account to offline so you can then login again. I know this is how it works because i have had my laptop login to dreamlords then login on my desktop and had it tell me "user already login" as my laptop suddenly said "you have been disconnected from server" I was then able to login on my desktop without a problem. if it doesn't reset your account then there is an error with the server.

The server realizes your gone the moment an event happens in game that would require a data packet to be sent to and responded to from the client on your computer. It sends the packets- gets no response and removes you. The problem happens in the server sometimes that it no longer sends these packets- so it wont remove you since it never requested and update. This will also cause people to become glitched- since the last place the server knew you to be was on a territory- it still thinks you are there and will not update and remove you. due to the nature of the glitches on the island(they happen for different reasons then normal crashes- but they are very similar) the server is unable to remove the data saying that your attacking the territory or other player. The result of course is that you are unable to attack another territory because it believes you to still be in combat on the other territory.

A lot of people will see things like this- when you buy an item from the market and then open your army manager it isn't there- its the same concept with a crash in the game- your client needs to reset its connection with the server to refresh its information as well as let the server know whats going on. most of the information in your client is downloaded from the server as you are loging in- for example- the contents of your armory. The information stored by the client is updated by the server every time you reset the connection(well more of update the data) in some way(example- going into pve- this requires information from the sever- so it updates) it also updates it self every few minutes as well but we don't normally see this.

What happened with me and lokey is that during our battle and error- in ether one of the clients or the server connection between the 2 happened that caused my client to crash- now this in turn cut off information about the battle in mid packet to lokey- giving him the packet error message. Then due to an error in the servers update system it failed to remove lokey from the territory but still removed him from the battle. so it still thinks he is attacking it but the glitch prevents him from finishing capturing it or stopping his attack.

Im not a programmer and i don't know how the dreamlords engine works in every way but this is my understanding of how the problems happen. please feel free to correct me on anything wrong.

and yes i understand this is a really long rant. any questions- pm me.

Also make sure it says 1% damage not 1% damage(armor peircing)- if it dont say armor peirce it will take longer then 100 seconds to kill because of the reduction from armor.

Generally yes.

well if it comes to a vote I will vote for the flesh sac event. but otherwise I would like to see all of the events continue as normal- yes I know that the Devs dont have the time - but that shouldnt be too much of a problem do to the fact the events are already built into the game. I know that a dev has to login to activate an event- and if they need some to do that I would be willing to volintere my free time to that if they would like the help. I know its not likely and im not asking to be a mod or a dev or anything like that but I would be willing to at least Start/end/moniter the events for the devs in any case. Anyway if they would like the help they can pm me and I will give them my personal phone number so they can call me if they really wish.

Its understandable- what the tome means by on self- is that it has the effect of +190 armor and -6 melee damage and -6 range damage on whatever unit type you put it on so it gives those effects to all of your melee units(or ranged or assult- ect.) if you put it on them. The reason they state the effects that way is because there are abilitys like Burning Ground- witch is an Hostile aura: -.45 movment speed on enemys. also others like the arch preists branding Iron weapon- has the effects of +8% melee damage on self(that unit gets+8% melee damage), -17.5% hp on self, (some other effect I cant remeber) and then it has a freindly aura that does +22.5% hp on freindlys, +38% max moral on freindlys, (I think something else but I cant remeber- its be a while), so the total effects on the unit holding it are -17.5% hp + 22.5% hp +8% melee damage +38% max moral. because the aura is freindly it effects the unit holding it as well as any nearby freindly units giving them +22.5% hp and +36% max moral.

the whole system can be a little confusing at first but you will get use to it after a while.

This Thread belongs in the questions forum because its not an bug. but in answer to your question if you read the discription above the trait it says:
WF: Military Teachings 1
Being a massive collection of souls from another world has its' advantages. Memories of wars of ancient times lets you teach your army special abilities.

Activation Cost: 3 Trait Points
Category Warfare
Reward: Defensive Formation

this means that it is an ability only for your combat troops. if you are looking for dreamlord abilitys look under the dreamlord buffs- for example: WF: Range of the Hawk

Activation Cost: 2 Trait Points
Category Warfare

once you have WF:Range of Truth you unlock
WF: Innate Power - Bolts of Fear
Grants you an innate ability. Causes ranged attacks to be more armor piercing. Passive ability.

Activation Cost: 7 Trait Points
Category Warfare
Reward: Bolts of Fear

Bolts of Fear is a dreamlord ability- all abilitys for your dreamlord are under a series of buffs- you have to get them before the ability. also they all refer to you/your -meaning your dreamlord instead of saying your ARMY/TROOPS/UNITS -meaning your combat troops.

you need at least the ideal number of workers in the building in order to craft items. 35 workers for basic, 75 for intermedeate- etc.

Im not sure about the summon scrolls but the only items you can keep from one era to the next say- persistant over eras in their discriptions.

as for when era 8 is- its about another month and a half- maybe a little more.

they are like orbs and scrolls but they also add to research speed. you get them from cv quests. unlike orbs/scrolls you can only use 5 max at a time- there is a slot for it on your manager- next to your cv bouneses.
