Trouble merging/moving units

Wed Jul 25, 2007 12:47 pm

Anyone else seeing issues merging and moving units?

I think this first started with 1.06, but I'm not 100% sure.

In most cases, I've found I now have to center the map on the units to merge them. This is OK. I can work around this, although I think it is a change frm previous behaviour.

Right now my big issue is trying to merge/move units in Boston. I simply can't get naval units or ground units to merge, load or leave. I moved Farragut there to load some units and now he and they seem stuck.

Are you able to move out of Boston with these units?

Yes, I can move out any units that I have built in Boston. What I can not do is move any ships into Boston City. Offshore Boston is OK.

Didn't Pocus say something about adjusting some region settings to allow better functionality for this?

*goes searching for thread*

It applies to BoA, but I wouldn't be surpised if AACW works along the same lines

I found that you can march one land unit from inside Boston out to a ship and then drag & drop other troops onto the 1st unit - kind of "follow the leader" in rowboats out to the fleet... :bonk: ...but ships will not enter Boston harbor (must be full of old tea leaves?)

Chainsaw,

Welcome to the forum.

You are correct in that land units can board ships lying offshore.

I think I saw mergeing problem in Kansas with California units. I couldn't drag-and-drop on the tabs with CA units to other units but they could merge if I had them marching and targeted another unit then it would work.

Fort Jefferson down at the tip of Florida has the merging problem as well.

Boston problem fixed, this was because the region was not properly referenced in the weather zones, and thus could get an 'unkown weather' status. And ships don't like unknown weathers (Bermuda triangle syndroma ;) ).
As for Jefferson, I don't have the problem, somebody reproduce it?
