Fort surrenders - pow's not recorded

Using 1.07rc5 I just managed to force the automatic surrender of a fort/army - message said I took 52000 prisoners but when you check the F9 page these prisoners are not recorded. Perhaps the problem is because the prisoners are not taken during a battle ?

Another problem I have noticed is that union generals who are commanded to form divisions seem to lose some of their strategic-offensive-defensive points bonus - the reductions seems almost random. This only started happening from around mid 1862 onwards to the union side on the april 61 campaign scenario.

I have a save of my last turn with the pow problem if it is required - just let me know.

btw this is an excellent game - well done to the ageod team.

That is very strange, I checked the code and everything is at it should. Please send me the save (the turn you have the surrender and the turn before, if you are unsure send me the whole directory as per this procedure:

Open the following game directory: Ageod American civil war\ACW\Saves. The list of folders is the list of the games you have on your computer. Select the one with the problem (if you are unsure of the name, the time stamp can help you), then do a right click: you should have a menu to zip it into an archive, as a single file. Zip the game, and then send it by mail if under 5 Mb, or by a website* if bigger (there should be only one file to send).

*sending by a website: you can try http://files-upload.com/ or http://www.yousendit.com/ the operating procedure is as simple as sending a mail.

The penalty you get when you form a division disapears once you pay the administrative cost. Keep a bit of spare assets to do so.

Thanks for the words :)

This is a pbm game and I am not the host so the only files I have available are from the turn where the pow's are taken when the fort surrenders.

I have sent a zip file to support@ageod.com - is this correct place to mail it ?

Thanks for the info regarding the command penalty/admin cost for division hq's.
