The craziest thing happened ... After finally getting all my defense units up to level 65, they disappeared into thin air:I destroyed a few bases, and when a player retaliated and attacked me, I wondered why he managed to destroy my base it so easily. When watching battle replay I was shocked to see I have zero defense.I just placed my main base back on the map and defenses are clearly there...????

Problem identified. They changed it a while ago to require you to have a Def HQ equal or higher than your highest def unit. Any greater than your def HQ will not be operational.

Selling some level 65 def that require tib and returning them to level 64 or 63 will help plus selling the power at 65 and harvesters (if he has any) should release close to enough. If not then he'll need to .....No - I'm sure if he's played long enough I don't need to tell him how to generate enough Tib and power to replace the def hq at the highest possible level!

Which world? Which base? Approximately when (time zone too)?

What server did this occur, the bug might have been a stack overflow or something... @gamerdruid can you provide me some technical information on how this could have happened? If this isn't resolved, something like this can occur on other worlds as well, maybe not on the defense, but maybe on offense levels as well.

@Shinerplunderer As I don't know technical details I'm unable to provide the help requested.

Nasty game bug....The craziest thing happened..

Hi,

Its on World 12 (Europe)

So took a couple of screenshots....

This is my defense right now:

And this is a player just sailing through without a care in the world:

Please fix this. Someone else mentioned it somewhere else on the forums.

Maybe a silly question, but did you have a defence HQ? If you sold you defence HQ (maybe for more power productions) then your defence will not appear when attacked.

Yes, that is what I did... I reached level 65 on all defense units so no longer needed it...I bought another power plant instead. In the game suggestions, it recommends this.

So that's why you encountered the bug! The defense facility is responsible for the defense points a base has! Without enough points, the units would be disabled. Also, if your units are above the defense facility's level, they too will be disabled. You have to return the defense facility to level 65! Consider selling your power plants on your base to regain the tiberium needed to bring the DF to level 65... it would be a long crawl to get the building back to the right level.
