Weirdest thing ever just happened. I went to build Gandy and the Citadel just destroyed itself. Not sure if building Gandy was what caused it or something else. Any insights?

To skip to Citadel destroying itself: Observe Umi^t (bottom-right Gondor) and I buy Gandy once I get 6k.

Replay name: citadeldestroysitself

That usually happens due to latency issues. His host must've been laggy for you.

Its caused by severe command lag. You delete a building then select your citadel in the period before the game registers you wanted to delete something making it think you wanted to demolish the citadel. Only happens on seriously laggy hosts.

Ah, I see. I must've tried deleting a farm, and clicked Citadel-- causing my cita to get destroyed. It was my host, but it's kinda weird because it wasn't even that laggy, just the usual amount of lag.

Also- thanks for the quick replies!

Btw you gotta post more replays RP, the most recent ones are from 2009 lol.

According to GR's replay system the other guy was host. A bug like this shouldn't occur on your own host.

Its a different bug to that yosh, its not the defeat after 2 min bug but a bug where the citadel only gets demod. It can happen to walls too although that is very rare...

Ah, now that I think about it, the other dude might have been the host for this game actually. I did download the online version, however I did not redownload my game, because this is the first time this has happened, and I don't expect it to happen again, and even if it does it will be probably 1/1000 matches. Thanks for all the comments!
