Please watch this replay and tell me if you think Saruman's control enemy army power is bugged. At the end you will notice I don't have many troops as Men yet my command points are almost full!? I apologize for the long game hopefully you can fast forward to notice the bug towards the mid-late game.

Yes, this is a known bug and has been for a while, yet nobody bothered to look into or simply forgot about it (likely the latter).

When saru converts units, the isen player's cp decreases when the converted units are killed off. The game doesn't register any cp losses for the other player, so their cp remains the same as if they still had the (now dead) units.
e.g. A player converts a tower guard that ends up dying - isen cp decreases by 60 and the men players cp will still be 60, even if they have no units or heroes whatsoever.

In short, as any CCG player will say, shoulda played around it bra.

I thought Val and Ecth have a list of all knows bugs somewhere or am I mistaken?

Wouldn't know how to fix anyways. At least not by .ini tricks.

And if latest EA game.dat still has this bug (the one we using from rotwk), nothing will fix it.
Maybe brabox figures out a script to patch this (since all games probably have this bug)
