The petition is being handled separately, I am not here to discuss the specifics on that.
What I do want to address is the issue where you can be declared victor and still lose the district. This can happen and is considered to be as designed for now, although we have it on our backlog to look at how we present it to the user.
The reason this can happen is as follows:
- The defender "wins" the battle to defend their district
- The defender however ends the battle with 0 clones left
- A fundamental rule of planetary conquest is that if a district ever goes down to 0 clones it is considered abandoned
- The defender has won the battle, but lost the district due to running out of clones
- The attack actually still has their 1 hour exclusivity period to re-attack the district, doing so will win it for them instantly since it has no owner
In the above example the system worked entirely as designed based on the rules we had set out. We clearly didn't really anticipate this exact scenario very well and in the future we will revisit this and look to see if we can improve it.
If you have experienced winning a defensive battle, losing the district, and you did in fact have clones left, then please do petition it and we will look into what happened. |

They're sitting there with the flag planted.
Unfortunately once you open a clone and use it, they cannot be repackaged. :( |

They were not "still around" they launched another attack, but because the district was unowned the attack mean an immediate capture.
At this point in time we are standing by the design of running out of clones in a battle means losing the district.
As for discussing the petition here, that is not going to happen. Petitions are to be discussed in the petition not on the forums. |
