Not sure if this is going right...devs please wipe strat and start anew in january or fix the bugs asap.

Coalition Battle: http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=5846
Before the Battle: 15k troops; After the Battle: 34k troops

Bro Battle: http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattledetail&id=5854
Lost only 37 troops...Actually the defence was not that good this time and we lost around 1300 troops.
Also I, as fief owner, can put gear, troops and gold out and inside the village whenever i want to.

You sure its not just reinforcement (even though it looks highly unlikely) ?

Its not
I was able to put another 500 Milanese Plates into the castle 45 mins before battle start...also i am able to take out gear still, which should be impossible as the fief is under attack...

[Flans]

I also somehow attacked the castle before the battle ended. And one of my guys who attacked the castle got the lovely gear bug and now has like 10k gear

No, after the battle the fief owner had 20k new tickets on him, Magical reinforcements.
Bros lost 37men during their siege today. They also got free peasant gear and could move items in and out despite being locked in battle.
Corsair could move around the map despite being locked in battle.
Several battles had bugged loot going into the hundreds of thousands.

And I have no idea what this is:

Bleh! Quoted instead of edited...

[Butan]

Wow, looks like very bad bugs for global balance 

Maybe they will do something to stop-gap this before it gets too much, there is a lot of heavy sieges incoming.

[Lt_Anders]

Free tickets? Tons of bugged gear?
FREE XP BATTLES FOR EVERYONE!

[Segd]

A lot of people got tens & hundreds of millions by selling loot from this battles. I had damaged equip for 200k troops after Bariyye battle(200k body armors, 200k head, 70k polearms etc.). Sold for 15kk or something. Def got few times more items.
& before that there was a lot of battles. Some reported, some not, but now Strat economics are totally broken.

Imho, there are few options to save Strat:
-Wipe, but nobody will play this shit again without major gameplay changes.
-Rollback to first day of patch(18.11). Pretty painful & I'm not sure if Devs are able to do it.
-Increase goods price by 10-100 times(or gear price to zero). Basically there is no point to trade anymore for many clans, while your neighbor is Scrooge McDuck due to the bug. Some arcade stuff like bringing back battle multiplier, increasing of move speed etc. would be nice for a change.
-Check every battle after patch, track all duped transactions & delete all duped items, gold, troops & renown(  bye my first place ). Pretty impossible too.
-Do nothing. I think we'll just kill all our troops in XP battles & surrender to coalition xD

Those two would have my votes 



Duped gold/gear and no plateau prosperity fucked up the economy, but we had troops to "limit" the potential of factions growth: with the new troop dupe its pretty bad... Nothing will matter anymore if everyone have thousands of them! I really hope there is some damage control very fast.

Jake has 1 billion renown and won strat.  That is why you're having problems now.  Strat is over.

Well does it count as a win from a bug?

My personal opinion is if strat gets wiped now then the record books would be a complete joke.

Rollback is my vote as the fun was just about to begin with the 1/3 rule being removed and now this bug has just ruined all the hard work many people have put in for over 1 year.

Roll it back and let us all fight it out until Xmas like im guessing the Dev's had planned before the bugs. Merry Xmas to all as we will be rewarded plenty of XP for all the hard work we have put in.

We have to wait in our fiefs and drink tea till this shit is over....

Ummm... Were you not aware that the dupe bug began over 6 months ago? Strat has not been legitimate for a long time.  Like I've been saying, the renown ladder is a who's who of duped item recipients.  Funny thing is, FCC never actually got it.  That average 4m renown was earned the good old fashioned way.

Anyway it looks like none of yesterday's battles caused dupes, as there weren't any big movers.  That only further helps confirm that it is heavily or completely tied to patches.  It seems like any battles queued up when the two patches hit got dupes.
