Some Bugs v 1.2.1

[salamano]

I noticed a couple of small things:

- When processing the encounters on the way to an already established point, I noticed the ship sails onward for just another square and then stops, requiring you to click again for it to keep going (whereas the old way just informed you while sailing that you lost some sails or something, and permitted you to sail on)... I vote that the "stop" element be eliminated because you're already stopped in a way to process the encounter. It'll keep the game moving.

- When the ship is sailing in the open water in this new updated version, the appearance on the Samsung GS3 is now jittery. It's not a huge deal, the ship just appears to hitch every second or so.

- (This one will require more substantiation, but I've been filling my phone up with screencaps to catch it and prove it)... There's been more than one occasion where, following a some-what harmless sea battle where not much was damaged, I discovered at port that all of a sudden 10 cannons and 9 keel points were gone.... Stuff like that without any real damage receipt to go on. It's been strange... probably happened 3 times now out of 3 dozen encounters... hmm...

- I have no idea about the veracity of this, nor if there's some sort of 'new math' involved. But, I feel like I've been earning money a little too quickly. Like, something is just giving me money without earning it. I didn't want to be all accountant-y about stuff... and because it's gaining and not losing I didn't think it was a huge problem  ... But if someone else was secretly thinking the same thing, well, there's that.

salamano - can you provide some more details about the "new math"? We didn't change any balance in the commission offers, but the change in Encounters vs. simple accidents definitely has changed the balance of the game significantly. Most of the feedback we are getting is "its too hard now."

[salamano]

The "new math" concerned how my treasury has increased a lot more than normal per the same relative pace of interactions... It's just a hunch.

As far as the "balance" is concerned, so far I haven't found the actual battles themselves to be 'too hard', it's just that, mysteriously, by the time I get to port my ship shows up as significantly more damaged than it was during the battle. I'm trying to get screencaps to bear this out.

@salamno - the balance changes I am speaking about are all about the new Deep Sea Encounters.
