Attrition - working as intended?

[RtG]

Hi guys, is attrition working correctly at the moment? I understand the losses should be taken where *deep breath* units move significant distances, or across difficult terrein, or are out of supply or, if the option is selected when outside of a structure... However it seems to be overkill at the moment.

These screenshots show that in the first turn on the 1777 - Saratoga campaign this British force lost over 500 men after an 11 day march along a road in supply. I could understand say 50 or a 100 with maybe some trickleback when they were stationary but this seems too much.

8016 men:


7417 men:


This is with the 'easy' attrition option:

Can you send us the save at support@ageod.com.. we may have a sometimes too strong attrition and we would like to check it is true in the majority of play examples before we attempt a fix, if need be...

Welcome to the forums RtG

Just wanted to commend you on a good presentation of the problem; with illustrations and all

[RtG]

Thanks for the welcome Email has been sent with attached save.

I have the same problem, and first thought it was because I played England. But even moving a single well commanded Union brigade through Union terrain (Massachusetts to Richmond) I lost half a regiment.

Same for ships. They get depleted by moving in any weather.

I've also been noticing large amounts of attrition. Small units are almost completely decimated or destroyed on small marches.

Needless to say i also have this "problem" with attrition. Seems too excessive in my opinion and not really taking into account the terrain and weather since it's huge even in good weather.

This point will go on our agenda priority today

This certainly has to do with the 30 day long turns. If at the beginning of your turn you are almost out of supply, it's WAD that troops lose strenght and cohesion due to desertion rates.

Routines about weather are important. Even in winter, there can't be blizzard for a whole month...i hope weather doesn't follow the static pattern.

Thank you for the report : movement attrition will be corrected in next patch

[GShock]

Surrender to the evidence Hok.
With the release of WiA your life, as it has been is now over.


Resistance is futile.


You will become a Borg, like Pocus. Hybrid human-machine, speaking C++ probably

I don't work on WIA, it's only a hobby

Pocus said to me : "come to the dark side of the force Hok !" ... shall I ?

[Rafiki]

Hok, you know you can't listen to Pocus. Honestly; listen to someone who is that crazy about his nuts?

[Pocus]

Delphi, not C++. Sorry, I'm a rebel borg

Where is the attrition file located?

Where is the attrition file located?

It's not there. got left out at the last minute

[muddymonkey77]

So how is it generating in game terms? Is it some kind of hard coded thing?

I would like to reiterate that the attrition of naval units feels kind of excessive too.

What file is this information located in for WIA?

[lodilefty]

The .opt file is missing in [up thru] 1.00b. The model specific factors need work in the Models also.

This will also include ships moving....

Patch is in the works..

Hok is starting to look like Beaver in the muppet labs...
