city shows 3 units but in battle has 6...

Hi,
In game 21755 I attacked Galin (didn't finish my turn, last battle), neutral city after red player surrendering. City showed 3 units (top: heavy infantry) but the battle was against 3 HI and 3 Sea Serpents, the surviving 2 sea serpents are now visible.

Strange, I need to investigate a bit. Do you remember if this city was discovered from the FOW the same turn/time as you did your ttack?
Also, do you remember if there was any items/sack in th ciy at the time of your attack?

I've had a similar problem to this one.

I've uncovered an enemy city in the FOW and it's looked totally empty. I attack and find defenders there! If I lose then I see the remaining defenders.

It doesn't happen very often so I can't figure out what causes it other than uncovering a city in the FOW. Now if I see empty cities I tend to hit F5 just to make sure it's really empty.

I had this happen with a neutral village.Looked empty when I discovered but turned out the light infantry was there.

Discovered FOW, attacked same turn. No items.

Did you have knowledge of the Neutral units in the fow before you explored the city again?
I understand it as the city was Red players city before he surrendered?

[Maze]

Indeed it was red before turning neutral. Cannot remember if I saw the city when it was neutral (in an earlier turn than when I attacked it).

Did the heavy inf stand in another tile of the city than the sea serpents? (once they got visible)

[Maze]

Didn't mention yet apparently, but indeed, the three serpents were standing top right, while the heavy infantry were standing top left. Did I overlook this when "unfogging"?

Either that or its a bug. Its just hard to track down how/why it happened, thats why I have all the "stupid" questions
I will investigate the code though and try to find if there is a problem somewhere.
