Never seen this before...

Post by deaconferal »

So I start a game with a friend of mine on vanilla, and as I always do when starting a game I micro my vils to crates, and while waiting for 100 food, tap / to grab my explorer and start exploring. Needless to say, the commentary of this pic explains it all...

This ever happen to anyone else? I tell you, this game just gets crazier and crazier.

Yeah, it's happened to me several times. Araucania (sp?) is a big offender, but obviously not the only one.

I started a game once when I was playing as the Spanish. I started without my war dog.

Needless to say, I was very, very distressed.

Sorry to hear you lost your explorer. But I find the disappearing TC to be a worse offender.

Man the first time and only time my tc dissapeared on me was in a clan game. Man that mad me angry(though not angry enough to put a hole in the wall ;) ) I need to memorize the button for tc so if that happens again I will still be able to use it, though good thing is my tc becomes invincable!!!
I never heard of the explorer not coming up before

Hmm, perhaps if you have no explorer you cannot lose because your opponent cannot kill him........

That's the point, the game counts as if it had died. If you notice agecomm stats, it never shows that the explorer died.
