Cap Breton objective

Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:44 am

Playing the 1812 campaign, latest patch, Brits. Cap Breton is now an objective, shouldn't it be Nouvelle Orleans instead? I thought Nouvelle Orleans was an objective when I played this scenario a patch or so ago. It is a strategic town still though but not being an objective means you haven't got to take it.

WE have a nice discussion about this (and more) here:

How are you doing with the Brits in this scenario ? I find it extremely easy playing as the USA and HARD to win (because of the "strange" objectives) as the Brits.

a bug snuck into the DB :D

technical answer, if you like to mod:

In the DB, Objectives are defined in the setup [or modified by events] with a command followed by a string that looks like:
$Rouille|1|$Mont Royal|10|$Cataraqui|2|$Shanous|1|$Niagara|2|$Mobile|1|[color="Red"]$[/color]Nouvelle Orleans|10|

In this case, the simple omission of the $ before Nouvelle Orleans caused the game engine to "say what? Where's that?" With these kinds of references, the enging defaults to "UID=0", which for regions is Cap Breton...

So, by remembering what UID = 0 helps debug!

Thanks! 1812 is under significant scrutiny right now :)

Yes. It is the basis for the rework ;)

Only the second time I've tried this one Carnium, didn't get round to taking all the objectives first attempt, especially Nouvelle Orleans, didn't like the look of amphib assault into swamp!!!! Have only been playing all scenarios as the redcoats so far though. Will come back to play this one after it is patched again I think.
