Public beta patch 1.14 rc21 (July 8, 2009)

[enf91]

There are 2 things wrong here.

1.) He has apparently done absolutely nothing to gain 3 seniority points and move up from seniority= 10 to seniority= 7
2.) He's been promoted (generically?) even though his seniority = 7 and not seniority = 4.

Maybe his default 2-star seniority is 7. After all, many generals have different seniority depending on their rank. Sumner, McClernand, Lyon, Grant, Huger, and so forth, were promotable before the generic promotion thing and fit what I just said. The promotion rule is that his seniority has to equal 1 or 2 or be 4 points above his original seniority.
At any rate, I think Smith has a normal promotion to 2 stars. His 3rd star would be "generic".

Hello,
Have you already got an idea of the approximate release date of this version (not to urge anyone but just to have an order of idea) ?

Here you go. I used randomized generals exactly once, and it was not in the game in question.

Thanks for all your hard work on this issue. In the meantime, I just play with the assumption that unearned promotions reflect political influence or cronyism that I can't control. The game, like life, doesn't always make perfect sense.

When that might be is always up in the air

Ok it answers to my question. Thank you.

Gen. Polk (Bishop General) for my CSA forces just got promoted in newest beta version. He was doing nothing to deserves such attention. IMHO. This was in 1861 vrsion. t

I'm beginning to think we're going to have to move all starting seniority levels up above the promotion threshold.

What do you mean?

Just a cosmetic thing, but it is weird nonetheless. By the way, I'm the USA.

[runyan99]

Polk as a 2 star leader has a seniority of 4.

Has the new patch changed promotable leaders to all those who's seniority is1,2,3 or 4? It used to be only 1 and 2.

I forgot to highlight them, but the ships are what I want you to look at. This is the April 1861 campaign w/KY as the CSA. The ships came in New Orleans and Galveston, which are in the South West, but I selected the ships to come from the Deep South. In fact, the reinforcements screen doesn't have a way to build combat ships west of Florida.

bug found:full april campagin, early July, Madision TN, 1st Texas Cav + McClungs art battery - appears for a second time. Checked in 3 seperate launches constant error.
using latest beta rc19 version.

edit: In the w-kentucky version of the full campaign the units in question only appear once in early july so based upon that i would suggest that the late june arrival of the units (i.e. the first instantance of them) is the erroneous one.

Regards

if 1.13b was the correct time of appearance then it should be early june

okay, one more data faultish thing, have u the 12lbs cannons removed from the army hq unit purposefully or is it a coding error?

edit: Okay the tool tip showsfor the HQ, 200/200 men 200/200 horses 0/0 cannons.
None of my hqs have it thought maybe i hadnt bought the correct replacment units, but even newly created hq units are missing this element also.

[richfed]

Working as designed ... unfortunately ...

The artillery shows up as a separate unit and must be purchased separately. Aggregate cost is the same as it was.

[MrT]

urgh did they get cheaper at least then?

[MrT]

57.) Army HQ's units intrinsic artillery model removed from the HQ unit. (due to rare CTD bug).
a.) All scenario instances now have a standalone HQ Artillery unit.
b.) Additional standalone HQ Artillery units added to the Reinforcement Artillery Pool (made available and in equivalent amounts simultaneous with HQ reinforcements).

yep okay found the right section.. anyway u can make a merge function work for the units (hq+12lb) or is that to much of a coding rework?
