not receiving BP in Hyperborea

[DeletedUser]

i just loss 8 transports, 20 slingers, 8 hop, 15 horse, 15 char and 5 cat on a raid on another players active city with a level 2 wall. i am sure i destroyed a few of his units but not enough to show in the battle report.

this happened at 2013-05-10 02:44 according to the report. so by now, i should have received BP. i have been tracking my BP and so i know for SURE that it was not awarded to me.

how can i get my BP?

i have cleared the cache, refreshed the screen, logged out and logged back in. nothing works.

They could actually have wiped you without losing anything. I have been the defender in the past where they attack with a beautiful nuke only to wipe them out only with my militia. Favor of the gods? or glitch in the game... it does happen.

What was your luck?

It looks like the defender had biremes and you failed to send LS. With no LS, they could have wiped your attack with no loses. Therefore, you wouldn't have killed any of the defenders units and you would not be entitled to ABP.

my luck was 18%. the harbor was cleared by another player before my land units arrived.

always before if i lose units then i have received BP. it doesn't tell you in the battle report but after a certain period of time then it shows up in the Agora. this is the first time that i have NEVER received BP.

i am sure that if you look at your Agora after you have lost that you will discover that you did get BP even though it does not show up in the battle report.

i have been tracking the numbers for BP because i was curious to find out if you get double BP if you lose. someone somewhere said something about a certain situation where you got double BP and i have been trying to figure out if it was true.

i am very sure that something is wrong for me to have lost all my units and not receive anything.

so i am guessing that this forum is just to post about glitches in the game but that nothing ever gets done about it?

this is just a place for people to complain and the software writers don't have to listen to them then or fix anything... great ....

This is a place where we can collaborate and clear things up. Forum minds>just one mind.

Back to the problem, their was obviously a bireme in the harbor. How this could have happened:
1. The player dodged the clearing attack, so he could then hit you with them.
2. A bireme was created between when the clearing attack hit and when yours hit.
3. The players that "cleared the biremes" may be lying and actually forgotten to do it.
All possible, and other possibilities as well.

i doubt that he was lying. he posted the battle report.

another battle report was posted and they hit before i did. they had both LS and land units. they cleared out only 6 archers in the city. it is looking like the city was empty when my units hit. so why would i have lost all of them?

and that still doesn't answer why i didn't get any BP for losing my units. every single player i know (including myself) receives BP when you lose units. you just have to wait a while for it to get added in.

 

[DeletedUser2039]

As I said, a bireme(s) could have come in after your friends clearing waves, but before your attack. How much time was in-between your attack and your friend's attack?

The problem is that you don't get Bps for losing units but for killing enemy's units.

You can end it all and message the player you attacked for the battle report...
Just submit an in-game support ticket (settings>support>follow steps) and the in-game mods can handle the situation appropriately.

I just attacked a ghost town that has now become 'occupied'.

Like Classy1, I lost all my units and the battle report does not show that I killed anyone. I sent in LS with my land units. I should have received BP. Usually it at least shows the ships if you kill ships with your ships. You get the BP for your lost units later. I did not get any BP.

This seems to be some sort of new quirk to the game since the new upgrade.

Total loss of units, no info at all, no BP for lost units. Completely different from how it worked before.

This is normal, when you attack an occupied city, you don't see the units you killed... It's the same for when you lose a battle.

You don't receive BPs for the units you lose, but for the units you kill... I already said it here >_<

Grepo has never changed the way it worked... It's just you who didn't notice before ;-)

There were multiple waves throughout the night against this city. Two alliances punishing this guy. Hyperborea is a carebear world. you cannot take his city. the dude has done some seriously bad politics and managed to **** off quite a number of alliances. He doesn't belong to any alliance because nobody will have him. The odds that he replaced the units are pretty low considering the number of attacks that he has been fielding.

I double checked the battle report that the last guy just posted. he cleared out all the available resources - warehouse is level 25. it was 2 hours between his attack and mine. with that many hits, it seems unlikely that this guy is rebuilding his troops. hiding them out of city is a possibility but why bring them back when he knows attacks are coming in if the last attack only cleared 6 archers?

it makes no sense that the battle report didn't give any information at all.

and YES, i insist that ALWAYS in the past you get BP for lost units. i am not sure all the circumstances but whenever i have lost before i have gotten BP for my lost units. i don't always win.

this guy is totally not going to cooperate with anyone because he knows he has made a lot of enemies. i would count at least the 3 major alliances and 2 smaller alliances that will not have him and word has been spread about him. you don't stab people in the back and expect to get off lightly. but the player is not the object of my complaint. those are his tactics and he is paying for them. we are not the first to attack him.

but like i said before. this just seems to be a place to whine and not get any assistance in something wrong in the game. i will remember that in future.

done whining.

You are wrong.

I have noticed that you get BP for units you lose when you lose in a conflict. I will say it again. It doesn't show up in the battle report about BP, it shows up later in your Agora.

You are not "listening" at all at what I have complained about. This is the first time that I have not been able to see the 'ships' that were killed. Always before it shows the ships if you lose ships and you kill some of his ships. It just doesn't show the land units because you never made it that far.

This is different. I am not new to this game, I have been playing it for months. I have 9 cities. Do not treat me like a noob.

I play in two different worlds and in both worlds it has been the same. If you lose then later the BP for your lost units will show up in your Agora. I have posted this in alliance forums and others agree. You just have to wait for the time that it would take for your ships to return home for the Agora to be updated. If others and myself (and Classy1) have noticed this then surely there must be something to what we are saying.

This is an assumption. He very well may have.

This is an assumption. He very well may have. It only took one bireme to kill all your entire attack.

it makes no sense that the battle report didn't give any information at all.

If you do not clear enemy troops, it does not display them or the BP you earned. That is how the game works.

and YES, i insist that ALWAYS in the past you get BP for lost units. i am not sure all the circumstances but whenever i have lost before i have gotten BP for my lost units. i don't always win.

You are wrong. You get ABP for the population that you kill from an enemy. It is non-dependent on what you lose. You also do not get ABP for killing militia. This is a game mechanic, their is no denying it.

but like i said before. this just seems to be a place to whine and not get any assistance in something wrong in the game. i will remember that in future.

Submit a support ticket how I told you, and an in-game mod can check out the reports. They will be able to give you a definite answer.

I have noticed that you get BP for units you lose when you lose in a conflict.

Look above on my comments on ABP. It goes by the population of the enemy units you kill. Check any of your previous reports to confirm, but remember militia are the on exception.

Always before it shows the ships if you lose ships and you kill some of his ships. It just doesn't show the land units because you never made it that far. This is different. I am not new to this game, I have been playing it for months. I have 9 cities. Do not treat me like a noob.

We are not judging your experience, we are simply telling you (from our own experience). Here is a report of mine, from today. Look past the fact that I failed epicly, and see the point I am making haha. I can't see the navy units because I did not win the navel battle.

Here is one from some time ago, before the most recent update. Same thing.

2 hours is a very large amount of time in between attacks to at least build one ls or bireme. Therefore it is extremely likely that he built one or sent one as support from another one of his cities. He especially would have done this if you had attacked with no escort before

it makes no sense that the battle report didn't give any information at all.

This will happen every time you do not clear the harbor and the land units defending the city. If your transport ships were all sunk then your land units would not have even attacked.

and YES, i insist that ALWAYS in the past you get BP for lost units. i am not sure all the circumstances but whenever i have lost before i have gotten BP for my lost units. i don't always win.

You do not get bp for the units that you lost in the battle. As has been stated before you only get bp from the population value of the enemies that you kill. For example 1 slinger = 1bp, 1 horseman = 3 bp, 1 Colony ship = 170 bp. The exceptions to this are when there is more than 1 person defending a city (it is then distributed based on the percentage of total troops in the city) and militia which gives you no bp.

but like i said before. this just seems to be a place to whine and not get any assistance in something wrong in the game. i will remember that in future.

done whining.

We are trying.
