Lost a City. No idea how...

from Elemental Forums

Like the title says, I was playing a 1.7 game and suddenly there was a huge crash sound like when you lose a resource. Except that my newest town was suddenly completely wiped out.

 

To give some background: A few turns earlier, it was taken by an enemy. I immediately took it back then moved my army out to deal with enemy forces attacking my outposts. That's when I heard the crash and lost the city but I got no kind of alert or warning of what was happening. I am assuming that it was a spell of some sort since there were no enemies in the vicinity when I moved back there.

 

Is there some kind of log I can access to see what happened?  :S

 

Thanks in advance for any insight offered.

I recently spontaneously lost a game by conquest, when I hadn't lost any cities or my sov.  Oh, and I got some sort of "Leader" achievement for losing.  I loaded the autosave and continued on.

All the best with working out what happened!

I think I had a corrupted save.

 

Some other weird stuff started happening as well. Like I would queue one improvement to build and it would display the same icon 4 times like I was building four of the same thing. Also took a city and began to build improvements on it and next turn the queue was empty.

 

So I finally quit that game, deleted the saves and ran a Steam cache verify. It found one file that was not validating and redownloaded it. Currently playing a new game and will see what happens.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Same thing happened to Roanoke.
