No reports of this in almost a month, so I'm considering it successfully fixed.

Thanks for the info -- I think I've fixed it. And if not, I've added more logging to help narrow it down further. Let me know if this problem is seen again (and if so, what time and at what coords).

This has happened a few times, the portal shows up like this as deactivated and on an empty square, I clicked to settle the land and the attack bar popped up and the portal went off.

Happened about 11:15-11:20 pm eastern time.

Also noticed the Keraunocon is going off too, even though it's empty.

I've looked through the code and haven't figured out how it can be doing this. (The "rebuild" timer should prevent a Djinn Portal from activating until a minute after it's been recaptured.) So I've added logging that should help me figure out what's going on when it happens next. If any of you see this happen again could you post here what time it happened at, and roughly the map coords? Thanks.

Why would the other dijinn towers take back an evaced square? If neither person owns the square, the other towers theoretically shouldn't be targeting it.

I believe you that it was evaced. But the point is, there are other djinni towers around. As soon as you attack anything, the other djinni portals will take back the evaced tile. Once it is taken back, it can start attacking again. What could have happened, was that the taking back was instant and then started attacking right away, the animation for the square wasnt finished and it looked like the evaced tile was attacking.

Spinx, i gad hit the bottom corner tower and then evaced it. No other towered triggered. You all keep going back to assuming that another tower simply retook that tower before I had a chance to evac it. Tell me then, how was I able to verify from TWO different accounts that the square that the tower is on was empty and not owned by anyone. It was shaded out like all structures do when they are no longer owned. I verified that it was empty before advancing my attack. I was able to replicate this several times.

There are lots of djinni portals around that shadow orb. I think Mike's explanation is correct. The other djinni portals captured this one back and it started attacking right away. On server side it was instant, on client side it wasn't.

Like I said before, I evaced the tower and then logged out. I went to a different nation and then came back and still the tower was vacant, but the second I made a move, the tower would activate and start wiping me. Even when there isn't a second tower around. I don't have the coords, it was at empires shadow orb if you can find that

Is anyone experiencing this when only 1 djinn is in the area and it is shadowed/evacuated???

Oh, hmmm... what could be happening is that one Djinn Portal (still owned by the nation that built it) gets triggered, and recaptures a second Djinn Portal that is was no longer owned by the nation that built it. Now that the second Djinn Portal is recaptured, it can also be triggered, even though the clients still see it as not having been recaptured. So, it could trigger in those few seconds before the recapturing of the Djinn Portal shows up to the clients, but after the server knows it's been recaptured. I'll look into that, and make sure it can't get triggered until after it's been fully recaptured, and shows as recaptured to the clients.

I have seen this a few times myself on djinn towers attacked when evaced. It generally happens if a second djinn that is not evaced triggers at the same time. Is it possible the code is reading for the evacced djinn at the same time as an owned one nearby??? I have only seen this when otehr djinn towers in range also activate. Maybe a premature captured square is activating

A Djinn Tower might attack an evaced square (to recapture it), but an evaced Djinn Tower shouldn't be able to attack anything. Is that still happening? If so what are the coords of the tower?
