Save raid replays.

Problem is is that then you would have to copy all of the troop AI as of the recording date, so if AI changes the replay won't change.
(Which would solve the problem dahimi pointed out on the previous page--maintenance wiping the replay-- but would eat up tons of memory)

Why does that happen in the first place. Always confused me.

Because the replays consist of a record of which troops were dropped, when, and where and the game simply plays it back. If the troop stats or defense stats change it would alter the replay. So they erase them after each maintenance.

A replay is a list of troop placements, and the game recreates the replay by simulating troop drops.
The maintenance might change troops stats/AI , so they need to wipe replays in case a change in The troops would change the attack outcome.


Edit:dahimi beat me...

Problem is saving stats/AI for all the troops in the game for each replay would take up a lot of server memory...

(no, not dumb, just somewhat confused)
