Scripted Money for Human player?

[Akbar]

So I was having this relaxed little campaign, High Elves M/M, conquering Middle Earth piece by piece. The economy not very good, pulling 2-3 K per turn and spending it right away. Too many standing armies, but it was not really a problem since I was slowly positioning myself to jump Mordor.

Then all of a sudden I noticed that I have somehow gained 20000 more money than expected after pushing the "end turn" button. Strange. Since then it has happened 2 or 3 times more during the campaign (I´m at around turn 130).

Now, why is this? The AI is cheating on my behalf?

Did you not by accident opened the console and typed by accident: ''add_money 20000''?

[Akbar]

No. Why would I?

[Raiven]

Did you have vassals!?

What sub-mods you use?

[Akbar]

No. I checked the economy report everytime it happened, and there was no explanation. The money was just there. Maybe the game mistakes me for a AI?

Are you that bad

Btw this never happened to me just do add_money -20000 and you can continue.

Did you lose many units in a battle so that your army upkeep drops?

[Akbar]

Did you lose many units in a battle so that your army upkeep drops?

No, no and no again. I got an even sum of money, repeatedly. See above.

[Lordinquisitor]

Most certainly something with the scripts isn`t as it should be.

[YassirX]

Have you got the management on auto setting? Maybe your cities did not build something for 3 turns.

[Akbar]

Nope, no automanagement whatsoever. As I said, it happened many times. Even sums everytime, 20 or 30 K.

[caralampio]

Something like that happened to me recently in a Silvan campaign, but just once. I was making around 4000 per turn (and spending it). Suddenly in a given turn I found I had 42000, after taking a city (but the amount gained from looting was nothing near that, and neither did the city give that income).

[Akbar]

I am not interested in how to undo it, I know how to do that. I would like to know how it could happen.

Therefore the AI theory. AI factions obviously get extra money, it would seem possible that the game could give it to the human player by mistake. Possibly because of some coding-related mistake on behalf of the modders.

All it looks like to me is a bug. Maybe the little gold pixels where marching towards the AI but were ambushed by negative upkeep pixels so they tried to avoid them and went on the wrong path and came to you =D

[Akbar]

Best theory so far......

And no, no submods.

[Russian Gondor]

Aye, we all know Russian Gondor is the smartest here. ++ rep to self.

[YassirX]

I've never had this behaviour so it has most likely nothing to do with bad scripting.

[Russian Gondor]

I am telling you, it is the pixels. Gandalf came and said You Shall Not Pass with a Third Age Logo near him. So the gold pixels fell through the ground and landed on an icy tower where an elf spy was.

You really believe that your coments are fun, or what?

They make me laugh but for another reason I think
