Benedict Arnold problem

[chapoto]

Hi,
In one of my PBEM I manage to get Benedict Arnold win a solid victory that should allow him to be promoted! Great, I thought... well seems like the promotion button hasn't understood you amazing Benedict Arnold is to become now
I tried to separate super Benedict from his army (though he is chief, so that should'nt be the pb), but that didn't work out neither...
Am I missing something??
Here's the image showing I'm not having some strange fantasy about Mr Arnold:

Hmm, I'm not sure why not..

Can you zip the current turn save game files and upload here?
Then we can look at this puzzle.

Thank you

[chapoto]

What exactly do you need, because I'm not the host of the game so I only have the .trn...

[Rafiki]

That complicates things a bit.

Can you show a screenshot of the element detail window fro Arnold? Just to verify the info there?

[lodilefty]

also, I'd like to know the control and loyalty values of the region he is in...

I'm not sure if Control is required to promote

[Stwa]

Maybe the game is not promoting him because it knows he will switch sides in 79.

[chapoto]

Well maybe it's a loyalty problem, but why couldn't a general be promoted on an hostile land? Are the local farmer demonstrating against it??
Anyway, here are the screens:

[Rafiki]

His seniority is 3, which is one above his original of 4. A general has to have a seniority that is either 1 or 2, or have a seniority that is at least 4 above his original before you can promote him.

[chapoto]

So the initial message telling me he can be promoted is just an error or is it a misleading information from the "fourbe Albion"?

[Rafiki]

Did you wait? If you don't promote right away, the seniority will go down a notch the turn after (IIRC)
