My Countries just bought trillions of $worth of Missiles

For some reason, both my main and slave countries all of a sudden decided they each wanted a trillion $ worth of Interceptor Missiles, and purchased them. I had always had automation on for purchasing ammo, but nothing of this scale has ever happened. I turned that automation off, but am now worried, since my slave is now in debt, and if i transfer cash to my slave from my main country and this happens again, I'm screwed.

Has this happened to anybody before? I'm assuming the automation bugged out, but is this actually the cause?

Thanks,

Spencer

There could be a couple of reasons your country bought so many missiles,

1.) You were attacked within the previous week,or currently under attack. IE: someone recently declared war on you and with automation your country bought what it was short on.

Or 2.) They were previously ordered. Since it was a auto buy I'm guessing it was #1

I thought new countries have war protection and unless manually turned off then they can't be declared on?

When I used to raid, my country would buy a ton of oaams if it was below 20,000 at the start of the war. Itd order like 70,000 at a time. Could have been that.
