Bug - negative buildings, troops etc

Brozee

Noticing if you get hit and a bunch of land taken, it’s possible to go negative buildings and such. Guessing that means that not enough buildings are being taken during battles?

The game guide actually covers that scenario, it's always been that way it seems:

It is therefore not allowed to get more than 450 buildings per castle. However, if you are attacked and only non-built land is taken, you might find yourself in a position where you have over 450 buildings per castle. If that happens it is highly suggested that you try to get a new castle as soon as possible because even if your castles might be able to protect and manage them for a little while they will be a lot easier to take by your enemies.

So I guess technically we should have a function that makes "overbuilt" land give attackers a buff so they can seize larger spoils if they hit you while you're at a building deficit. Maybe we already have that in there lol

Lord Thane ya there were never negative numbers in old game.

Xliest well that game guide entry is directly from 20 year old archive.org, so obviously was possible, otherwise why even mention it?

I guess what he meant was no negative numbers just 0 if there is an over capacity permitted.

What brozee is describing for example is if a 100 land 10 castle fully build out kingdom is hit they lose 10 and 1. So they should have 1 castle and less than 900 buildings. The hit might leave them with 905 buildings.

The game guide talks about how 1 castle can only control 45 land and having more than 450 buildings could be possible if an attack is made and non built land is taken.

The quickest way I know you can end up overbuilt is if you make a hit, destroy buildings, set buildings to build, get hit and lose the land you gained but already had buildings scheduled.
