daylight - nighttime

[veritas]

Playing multiplayer as italian sometimes i get "only" night or daytime battles. In fact: I doesnt change to night either daytime. It happens randomly and only as client. As gamehost it doesnt happen.

Another thing: Leaders doesnt earn experience as client.

3rd thing: Japan had -15 diplo-points after reload of multiplayer game.

Version 1.05b with leader addon by vulture on all comps.

veritas

edit: i forgot - i was never able as client to capture enemy ships. As host it worked normal(like a singleplayer game randomly). Maybe i just had no luck.

I've seen this permanent nighttime effect in MP too, though a bit less in 1.05b I think.

it happens - you have to save and reload - only mp of course - I already wrote about this sometime ago.

I've seen this a lot of times in MP (but as far as I can remember, never in SP). I see this most often during air combat. After a little bit of experimentation, I found that this "permanent night" appears much more often if the combat starts at night, or more precisely if the combat was intended to start at night but started during the day. When sending aircraft on a mission, the date/time listed is for when the aircraft actually take off, and not for when they are supposed to start their combat. So therefore I sometimes used to start the aircraft off at night, around 1-3 hours before daylight. Since it would take 2-4 hours to arrive at target they would arrive during daylight. However, I have seen many times that when the aircraft arrive over the target (even though it is daylight) that the night combat modifier icon is shown during the battle, and that the efficiency is very low.

So my hypothesis is that this bug occurs if the unit is instructed to start combat at night, but they actually arrive during the day. For aircraft this is often easy to achieve (see above), and for ground forces it can sometimes happen due to changes in weather, or that the attacking forces are bombed during the march into the province (both changes in weather and being bombing delays the attack a few hours).

Anybody notice similar behavior?

About the -15 DP, Japan has at least one event that will subtract DPs if the choice goes a certain way. It relates to putting pressure on Siam. That surprised me once too.

When playing 1.05 multiplayer the player that did not host had the night modifier during the entire battles against ai countries, if he started the battle during the night. This is also reversable, if the player atttacked during day, he never suffered from the night penalty.
