Turmoil

The final auction (potential spoilers)
It's funny, but in my first game of Turmoil, I was met with huge swings of success. Until the winter stage, I was mostly behind on the stock trade, but I had purchased enough upgrades that I didn't struggle like the AI did. Going into the final auction, I was ahead with 44%, whereas the next two had 22%, and the worst was 11%. The cash reserves were minimal.

Ricardo, who had 11%, had a negative balance, so his stocks were immediately put up for auction. One of the other two rivals had more than double my remaining cash (about 12 thousand) and she took the stock before I could bid.

Since the next in line was another 22% trade, the final bid would be decisive. The remaining tycoon had more cash than I did, but I figured I could sell my diamonds to make up the difference, so I hit the X at the top to go to the bank.

It didn't work. My hopes were dashed. The auction went on without me. I managed to lose the game by a difference of about $1500 dollars when I had accrued 44% of the stock throughout the game's very expensive series of auctions.

Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I definitely would have sold a diamond or two before the last stage had I known that wouldn't be an option. Or maybe I wouldn't have bid to have such a commanding lead. Such a small sum made a huge difference. And my huge lead made no difference at all.

I do not understand !
You got 44% and 2 other got 22% = 88%+11%=99%
Who got 11% ?
And if the total is 99% then you have lost the game or.. when you doing the last mission.

The final amount was 99%, correct.

Ok now i know, the loser get kicking out and then you can buy 1 % who was left and + The loser share in the final round like 1%+ loser share.( i se it on you tube)

But that do not happend me , i think it was a bug( i play normal 3 times from start to the end whitout any truble).

Like when i play the last time on exspert i play 2.5 map and i bid on every oil area everytimes.
But when i got 1.5 map left on exspert they start to bid on every oil area by them self and they do not let me doit 1 times to the end of the game so basicly i strugle as crasy and i get the badest oil area ever every times :-(

That was a bug to , they need to look into that to ( or are the game this way when we got 1.5 map left hmm i do not know because i only try exspert 1 times.
