[0983 Bug] City Ownership & Subsequent Battles Confused When Attacked in Same Turn - Entering the Twilight Zone

from Elemental Forums

I'm playing as Vanilla Pariden. I took over a Yithril City the turn prior. Ended turn, city was attacked by Magnar forces who were stationed nearby, Magnar won the battle and took it over. Immediately after, monsters and ruffians attacked and the popup indicated I am Magnar...

Autosave

Previous autosave

So I hit battle for the hell of it and it immediately goes to the defeat screen. Monsters and Ruffians joined Magnar and defeated none of my forces! Twilight Zone!

Wow.  Just wow.

I gotta say the way the end of turn works is still sometimes pretty wonky. Maybe it's just because I'm used to Civ-like games where the enemies all take their turns sequentially, but the order of things really doesn't make sense. I hit end turn, the last of my units auto-move, then the enemies and beasties move, then I get techs and city-level-ups, then I get attacked by enemies...? And though I haven't sat down to document it explicitly, I swear it happens in different orders sometimes.

I know multi-threading is great and all, but c'mon. I shouldn't be wondering what order things are going to happen in every time I hit end turn.

I know this isn't strictly speaking related to your bug, but I felt like ranting.
