For example, Crown point with a harbour says current supply level of 3. This should be enough to supply a force with a supply usuage of up to about 15 per turn. (Unless the harbour is blockaded by ice of course.)
In my current game as the French against the AI in the Colonial faction version I have a force of Indians and courriers in Crown point, the supply level is 3, the harbour is clear and I have 100MC of the region. My force has a supply usuage of 8 per turn. They should be getting plenty of supply but if I click on the supply filter in the bottom left hand corner the region is shown in red, not enough supply!!
As a follow on to this I see Indians are pillageing friendly regions, OK maybe WAD. But they are also doing it to their own regions, the region where their village is. Is this an effect of the pillager trait or is it also a supply filter issue?
For example the Cowetee are locked in their region of Coweta which has a supply level of 2. The two indian units locked there have a supply usuage of 2 each per turn, in theory there is plenty of supply in the region. Yet it is pillaged and also shows as red, not enough supply, if you select the supply filter button. This is on turn 3 of the campaign.
I can post a save if needed, or am I missing something or forgetting something?
Are the groups in the "red areas" gradually depleting their supply?
As for Pillage, now you have me worried...
Post save please, so we have a good example.
[WIA is a different supply "Simple" supply system, and as such has its own set of code vs. ACW, RoP, etc.]
