Bug or updated feature? Devastating damage not showing up

[BenjaminMS]

01:31 Cyber Soldier Attack defended 1 0 237,503 *,937,470,783,812 **,077,500,000,000 details

Is this a bug, that I can know the defense of the other... or did Jason update without telling?

Depends really.. did that dude do Devastating damage on you?
If yes, then weird.
If not, then it's always been like that.. just regular hits within limits.. you could always see the defence..

If you look closer at the log - he lost 0 troops and I a huge amount - should have told you it was a devastating one. But anyway...
So yes, it was an devastating damage report. In the log however, I also find the following:

Aurora uses its Nuclear Volley to inflict ***,580,000,000 damage, destroying 19 Matter-Phasic Shields on FIAT Uno!
Blowing through the extended shield defenses, it also destroyed 1 Nano Volley, and totally destroyed 7 fleets!
BenjaminMS's Aurora adds ***,532,116,000 additional attack onto their ground troops!

FIAT Uno uses its Nano Volley to inflict *,***,624,000 damage, destroying 0 Energy Shields on Aurora!

The forces of BenjaminMS rush in full force, and inflict *,937,470,783,812 damage on Cyber Soldier's forces!
Judging from the troop and army makeup, * of that damage came from support planets.
It was confirmed that 0 of Cyber Soldier's forces fell at the hands of BenjaminMS's assult.



The forces of Cyber Soldier fought back with all they could, and managed to inflict **,077,500,000,000 damage on BenjaminMS's forces!
Judging from the troop and army makeup, * of that damage came from support planets.
They managed to eradicate 237,503 of BenjaminMS's troops.

No 'silly' or 'devastating' amounts of damage in even the report...

Strange... at 00:08 Gametime the following message when Scar Face devastated himself. That was his first attack on me during the day.

The forces of BenjaminMS fought back with all they could, and managed to inflict devastating damage on Scar Face's forces! So much damage, in fact, that while running away Scar Face could not accurately judge the extent of the beating...
They managed to eradicate 31,347 of Scar Face's troops.

However, more then half an hour later at 00:50...

00:50 Scar Face Attack defended 1 50,160 0 *,214,119,184,400 *,191,147,290,123 details

And there showed no dev damage up in the report...

So did Jason update or not?

If you are the one getting devastating damage, you cannot see the defense of your opponent.

He can see the damage he caused you though. (ScarFace vs you)


When the strike is close to 30% of the defense, then the attacker does not get devastating damage yet, the cubic formula determining the losses of the defender gives a value close to 0 causing 0 losses to the defender. (first log you posted).

The formula was changed from a quadratic to a cubic one so reciprocals tend faster to zero now
