We took all territorys and so on, but the enemy had 1 cloaked stormy left.

victory timer kept reseting itself;

Screeny´s

Look at the Timer;!

Replay?  Should have automatically ended when you got all the territories.

[Unkn0wn]

You get 3-minute timer when you cap all sectors and disable their ability to call in platoons.
Found that odd when I was playing .

Isn't it supposed to give the 3-minute timer when you've taken x% of territory?

[Thtb]

I dont know the battle id.

Also there is no scar log of this day in my log file folder (20.01)

Scrapking, RangerSpawn Thtb vs ScrapKing, PinkTiger (louis i think), todlicher Phanter (louis friend)

Also shows a bit ranger op´ness based on easy vet. and abilitys.

Of course i only say that since i lack evry skill and my enemy was much better and so on.

The game does not end when the timer runs out if the enemy has troops on the field. 

To end the game:

The losing player must retreat all their units off the field.  Or the winning player must capture every territory sector.

[Thtb]

So i coud hide snipers/ Stormys and win by setting around until the timer is done :O

[fldash]

No, you can't win, because you can't capture territory and the game has already marked you as a loser.  The winning team can either choose to hunt down and kill your units, or capture every sector and cause the game to end.

[Tharulerme]

Fldash, I was not in that battle whatsoever, I just want to tell you that taking all the territories is not working in any way.

First of all, if you get all the territories and they still have some units there is a small chance that you have to kill all units on the field, I only saw it process like 1 or 2 times when there were still troops on the field and the enemy had all the territories for a few minutes. So most of the time the game wont end if you (as the losing team) still have troops on the field.

As second, I really don't know what's up with the games that refuse to process, but all I know is that they all had one thing in common in all those 3 times it happened so far:

There were like 2,5 minutes left ingame and then we manage to get the "hold the territories for victory" message in all those games, and then we try to capture everything just for fun and the last 2 territories become uncaptureable in all those 3 games.

[fldash]

Tharulerme: I played 3 games yesterday, played 5 since the new system and I haven't had any issues.  There are certain triggers that must take place before victory occurs:

A) Player has no troops available to deploy and no troops on the field.  This triggers the annihilation message.

B) Player doesn't field any units for 60s.  This triggers the surrender message.

C) Player doesn't hold enough territory.  This triggers 3:00 minute timer.  At the end of the timer, the players are unable to reinforce and the game is essentially marked as completed.  However, the game does not officially end until one of two conditions are met... 1) The other team takes every sector.  2) The team without enough territory retreats or loses all their units.

D) The main timer runs out.  The game is marked as finished - attackers can no longer deploy/reinforce.  However the game does not end until the Defender takes every sector or the attacker loses all their units.

In addition to the above, once the game is marked as over.  The winner can retreat their units off the field ending the game and getting a win.

If you notice problems with the game not ending or reporting, do two things.  Post the replay, post the log.  The log is located in your COH directory and is called EIR_battle-{battlenumber}_player-{playername}.txt

Okay so once i get;

"Missionziel verfehlt ..."
"Mission target failed ..."

I basicly lost the game, but i can stay and vet up?

[Unkn0wn]

So what if:
- Attackers are about to win, they have 30 more seconds on the 3 minute timer
- Game timer reaches 0 before the 3-minute timer does

Will the game timer mark the game as completed and give the defender's a win, even though they were about to lose...?

[fldash]

Game timer over-rides 3:00 minute timer.  So yes.  Not sure if it should, but right now it does.

Thtb, exactly.

[Unkn0wn]

K, imho it shoudn't as it might give the defender a victory they didn't deserve...?
