I'm getting the same thing; though I can reload the save and continue onwards with no problem for a period of time. The glitch with Bales of Cotton in Matagorda is still around: i.e. event places 2574 turns ago, and will last -2574 turns (not exact numbers but an aproximation); though placing a new...

You can form them in March, 1862. Are you using a 2-star+ general?

As you describe, Sir. It is mostly [at least] the unit moving in to the region that refuses to retreat.

I have been seeing similar behavior in my game. Seems to be affecting only the enemy stacks [AI]. They will park near my force and repeatedly attack - turn after turn - even though I am entrenched, forces are at least 1:1, and we are fully supplied. My forces have retreated at times pretty normally,...

Similar stuff going on here with a clean installation of 1.5 RC2. I have noticed that, as of April 1862, the Union AI is VERY passive. Didn't realize they were heading North!!! PS - I think the entrenchment thing has something to do with the presence of artillery, or something. That is, if you are t...

No, Captain ... they display in the Regional Decision Panel in the way you describe. If you play one on the map [talking about Cotton Bales], they have always disappeared the next turn as you collect your 15 grand. Now, I am getting what I showed above.

Display Oddity

Sometimes , Regional Decision icons remain on the map after they have "resolved". Similarly, sometimes they don't appear right away, even though they are played. Example of the latter, is I have played the Telegraph decision in New Orleans and it doesn't immediately appear. After moving the map and...

Yes, Pocus, I too would like to assist, but I have no idea what I can do other than report what I am seeing. Sad to say, but the 1.05 beta patch - as currently constituted - makes the campaign, at least, pretty much unplayable. One must be unbearably cautious [as the CSA] to the point that it is dif...

Hi richfed, so I finally found some time to have a look at you backups, and I can't make hide nor hair of them. They don't seem to be 3 consecutive moves, but 3 moves which coincidentally are in chronological order (3 consecutive turns), but not turns which were executed one after the other. I don'...

I've only seen a couple of "bloodbath" battles, myself (across several different games). I'm not saying that there's nothing at all wrong with the new rules or patch. Also, I'm not really seeing exactly what different people are doing with their games and their troops. More detailed battle reports ...

I am surprised, because even going back to AACW, the game never behaved this way before. I freely admit I am making some moves that an ordinary player wouldn't make because I am trying to see how the beta behaves, but, I have always done hat. 100% casualties in 11 infantry regiments in a division x ...

I am pretty certain that something is out of whack. Well supplied, well led forces - albeit outnumbered - tend to get wiped out to a man. A healthy corps will have virtually all its division elements completely in the "red". Next turn, even though retreat is attempted, they are wiped out. Happens wi...

Try turning down the detection bonus. That seems to really mess up Athena, from what I've seen people say. I did try that in a new game ... things are progressing much differently this game. Changing it from medium to low bonus drastically affects Athena. As Barca noted, I have seen Athena send ind...

There is also a problem with the Battle Planner [graphic issue - see image].

And, I noticed that in the Unit Panel, leaders are often blinking when no promotion s possible.

Well, so much for that ... finally crashed in late '62, I think. Now, in a newly started game, it crashed in mid-'61. Seems a very intermittent, but stubborn, thing. Next time it happens, I will post logs again.

As per Slitherine support, this issue is resolved. I did a clean install and updated from 1,03 to 1.04 via the in-game updater rather than the patch found here. According to them, doing that sometimes corrupts the updater. So, that's that! :-)

Minor Battle Report Screen Change

When the Battle Report screen is shown, the troops under the player's side are listed as "Allied" - I would think a carry-over from To End All Wars. This should be changed to something else. Friendly/Enemy or Confederate/Union ... something. Maybe?

Anything on this? Quite annoying during 1862, and especially on the turns where I have to restart 3 or 4 times to get the turn processed. I have the .exe set to Run as Administrator which worked in previous builds.

Might a patch be out soon?
