Bug being exploited: Inherited debt for conquer countries is not working properly

There is nothing to fix here.

It is by design, that the country winning a war will inherit a limited debt, currently max 2T.

we do not think you should inherit all the debt but when attacking a country with negative cash, there are some negative consequences.
it is easier to win most times but it costs some.

We love to fix bugs when they are reported to us but this one is no a bug.

Andy don't piss in the blokes corn flakes and tell him its milk.

He even quoted YOUR own documentation that says when you take over a country that has a large amount of debt it (the debt) is transfered to the leader country of the empire that lost it.

It is clear that you have, 'by design', set the mechanisms of the game to work this way. But its clear that your documentation was wrong.

So do the right thing and admit it. Don't be rude and pretend like there was never a problem. There was and it was with YOUR documentation.

We as players can not guess when you change things we can only go by your documentation. Especially when we are new and trying to learn the game from your documentation. I suggest when you change things in the game before you implement them change your documentation first so the information is always up to date.

Check the documentation.
it was changed a long time ago.

the complaint came several times, with the same "Quote" from the doc.
when we checked the "quote", it was not there.
It was changed long before.

But all this is not about the documentation which is correct.

It is about the feature.

and the feature is programmed to leave max -2T with the winner, if the country had negative cash.
it was programmed to be exactly the negative cash if less than -2T and has specific code to maximize it at -2T.
This was programmed like this several years ago and the coding required a decision on this number, and code to make sure it is maximized. The number if not just a number in the code but what we call a "world property" that can be set without a change in the code.

We had a good reason to add this but at the time, the document was not updated. this was done later.

I love p

I checked the Documentation at the time this was posted and found it to be as quoted.

And if you do like people to find and point out problems so you can fix them I have messaged you twice about one, and I've posted in the FB forum under the title security council please wake up. Feel free to address the problems mentioned not only by myself but others also.

As far as I remember, this problem was raised by Nicols Fernandez Ponce.

we have also exchanged mails with him several times about it.

We receive several messages each week, from players who report a preblem, if needed we ask for more info, and when there is an error, we fix it.

This way, we have fixed many errors each year.

This is typically what you ask when you have nothing to ask about.

it will be nice if you will bring real issues here and problems that need a solution.

urgent issues are mailed to us too and resolved.

"This is typically what you ask when you have nothing to ask about.

Andrew please find below a copy and paste from my sent messages and a copy and paste for each message addressed to yourself (if you don't believe me I can send you screen shots of these I just don't know how to attach things to messages in this forum).

I would appreciate it in the future if you did not insult me and embarrass yourself by saying rude comments like the one above.

You will find the time and date that these where sent to be over a week ago. I have emailed you and posted in these forums on numerous occasions, with no reply. Hence the reason why I asked how long it usually takes for you to reply to messages. And hence the reason why it is completely valid for myself to ask you how long.

Andrew please understand that nobo

Although I am not the only one here handling messages, we do answer all of them.
There are very few exceptions, but these are quite obvious.

the messages you refer to were dated a couple of days ago. I did not see it at all.

Nobody likes to be mistreated, including the gamemasters. Style of messages is an art.

Thank you for being a full member, but the forum is a priviledge that is not guaranteed in the game.

We love criticism when it is constructive, and meant to get attention to problems and improve the game.

If you did not get an answer to a mail, it means that we did not receive it (sometimes however, it takes several days to answer).

I remember answering a mail on a war that would not end despite many attacks but it was several weeks ago.

In general, you should look at the war damage page that shows up on the war page.

you can see what you damaged, how many points you

So Andy is the republica del sol one of those countries that are impossible or near impossible to take?

"Nobody likes to be mistreated, including the gamemasters. Style of messages is an art."

If you feel I have have mistreated you please feel free to point it out.

"Thank you for being a full member, but the forum is a priviledge that is not guaranteed in the game."

Is this a subtle threat to ban me from the forum? If so please state your grounds for doing so.
