The Weird Problem of duplicating Admirals

[arcticnerd]

So I am having this weird thing happen where when I split a fleet with an Admiral I will often get a duplicated Admiral, that is I will have the same Admiral controlling both fleets. Maybe it's a graphical bug but I haven't noticed any significant changes in the performance of the fleet with the duplicated Admiral.

I had that too, confused the hell out of me.

It seems to be a common bug. Often I can't remove any of the admirals either, be it the orignal or the cloned.

I even had a fleet with no admiral that I split and they got the clones from other fleets.

Same here.

I've seen this.

I had this bug as well. Additionally the cloned admiral became immortal, by the end of the game she was almost 300 years old (and I did not have any traits that increased lifespan... ).Although I admit that having an unlimited number of max experience immortal admirals had its uses

Edit: This bug had already reported and the Devs are aware of it so it should get fixed soon https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/1-0-2-fc5e-duplicate-admiral.930611/

Boo - was using that as a bit of a handy exploit! My admiral died on the second fleet, so hired a new one, reassigned the current active one to the 'empty' fleet. This duplicated him so I could then fire the new admiral. Poor guy had only just reported for duty and had bought a new shirt from Moss Bross as well! Still lost the the influence, but it saves a leader slot. I expect this will get patched soon...

I can confirm, this bug still exists.

Yeah it's an odd one for sure. I've never actually figured out how to create it, but it definitely pops up from time to time, and still does even in 1.4.1.

It's a bug triggered by splitting a fleet with an admiral. To avoid this, reassign your admiral somewhere else temporarily. I usually keep a single destroyer in a fleet called "Admiral Transfer" parked near my homeworld for those times I need to rearrange a fleet.

But why would you not want to duplicate your Admiral?

Please do not necro old threads, particularly when the information belongs in the bug report sub-forum.

If it has not already been reported for this version, then make a post about this in the bug report sub forum.
