observations patch 1.01i

PS:

could anybody explain to me, why the Union suddenly gets spawned with reserve brigades as well as many partisan units

EDIT: screenshot shows only the messages, partisans as well as reserve brigades pop out of the ground from deepest Alabama up to the blue ridge mountains, in Illinois and even in the New England area... with no operative enemy forces anywhere

Are you seeing reserves spawn in CSA held regions or partisans spawn in overwhelmingly Confederate loyalty areas?

Partisans should be by region loyalty + enemy MC, while scripted spawns I would expect should need friendly MC of the region. Neither should need another units present.

"Are you seeing reserves spawn in CSA held regions or partisans spawn in overwhelmingly Confederate loyalty areas?"

please take a closer look to the screen shot!

1.) I am playing a GC with USA, the ACW as the Union

2.) i have fixed all enemy forces into towns, but in the Everglades

3.) i do have high military control (all areas are blue)

4.) I do have own troops in about every second area in orange order status

5.) all this in April 1861, thus already for a couple of months.

and now i got UNION TROOPS and UNION PARTISANS popping out of the ground from Alabama over Illinois, West Virginia and northern Maryland...

in my screen shot i scrolled down to the messages:

its even written, that this partisan units are my very own private army now....

foots and mounted partisans, and a couple of reserve brigades too.

the strangest thing, Union would clearly never have own partisans in Alabama, would they?
Missouri maybe, Kansas, ok...but Alabama ???

EDIT:

for a better understanding:

look at my first pic about partisans and read the message box via enlarging the pic

then compare it to the second pic here and see whats behind the message "union forces..."

reserve brigades were given simultaneously

[SonOfAGhost]

Reserves spawning anywhere in Union held territory makes sense to me. A large portion of their forces were volunteer units. They were raised and equipped locally, and got themselves to wherever the war was at the time, before putting themselves under command of the actual army. Such units might appear under your command in territory you hold in the South, but be ostensibly volunteers from Boston, or even Canadians. They just only appear on the map and under your control when they arrive at the front and report for duty.

Partisans spawning in friendly territory, that I don't understand, especially in regions loyal to the enemy. Perhaps a bug and these should be Confederate partisans.

now you got the point of my question... why do i get partisan units from the deepest Alabama, Illinois and Minnesota, Western Virgina etc at the same time.

As I wrote in my second post about it, reserve units are completely out of question, for simply brigades of militia in my own territory.

but Unions partisan units, named and numbered as unions troops, unions outfit, called union forces... (to express this, i made the second screen shot and extended an manual to my question ^^)

nay sir, here do i need a Dev or a PON beta veteran

[Pocus]

Partisans can only appear if there is some loyalty in the region, so I guess this is the case in your example?

[yellow ribbon]

sound logical but...

228 Combat points of partisans in one single turn?

in Illinois, in Minnesota...these are my national regions without confederate influence.

well, we could also declare it to be related to militancy, dont know jack

however, i am few years later now

[yellow ribbon]

a minor issue:

in game you decided to name the Kurfürstentum Hessen wih the older name of (Landgrafschaft) Hessen-Kassel.

Hessen-Kassel however was erased as a napoleonic bastard state (Rheinbund / rhine allies) in 1815 by the Wiener Kongress...

since 1815 it was publicly named Kurfürstentum Hessen / Kurhessen until the Prussians annexed it 1866, then it was reshaped and named Hessen-Nassau

meanwhile people/inhabitants are used to refer to Hessen-Kassel until today even in history books (for history goes back to 1567 and sometimes does not change the name in/after the napoleonic era)


**********************

Now the problem:

on the map it is named Hessen-Kassel, but it is mispelled HESSE-KASSEL (sic!) in diplomatic screen and diplomatic messages...


*********
PS:

does anybody have an idea / manual how we gamers can rename for instance provinces and cities without harming the games mechanics ???

I know someone planed to do it for Scandinavia, but i dont remember where i saw this and whether he got an answer

another hickup:

after the IRONCLAD CORVETTES tech there is a tech for armor piercing projectiles...

its named / half translated:

Ri_NAME_NAVAL_AMOUR_PIERCING_PROJECTILES

[Generalisimo]

another hickup:

after the IRONCLAD CORVETTES tech there is a tech for armor piercing projectiles...

its named / half translated:

Ri_NAME_NAVAL_AMOUR_PIERCING_PROJECTILES

That is fixed now... extracted from the next beta patch:
* Fixed the missing “name” and “text” entries for some technologies (some error introduced with the replacement of “armour” for “armor”).

[yellow ribbon]

ah... good work lads, but you are overreacting:

"(some error introduced with the replacement of “armour” for “armor”)."

for its not kind of that difference:

armor [Am.]
armour [Br.]

but always good to know that you are faster in hotfixes than we are in playing

[Cohnman5]

Please upgrade to latest beta patch L--released 9/2/2011 and let's see if these "problems" go away!

@ Cohnman5

I do appreciate that you are kind and just try to be helpful, but i am that close before to explain you the word "SPAM" apy:

think about what you just advised:

first, i am the one who opened here the threads about the new patch "L" and about possible ISSUES with the new patch...
what leads to the conclusion, that i am running the new patch since it went public !!!

next, as i wrote more than once, most i observe is not a bug, but no logical chain. since it is no major bug, probability for any change in that state of the game is close to zero... there are more important things for them to do.

regarding the tech file, it was solved before i struggled over it, he wrote it above and therefore it is of course patched

i dont like to be rude, do not to want to be experienced that way, but there is a proverb known in every language i understand, saying as much as:

"first think, then speak"

same is true for some of your posting. next time, read, count to 10 and think about if you still feel the bare need to write the very sentence...

[color="Blue"]Guys, play nice [/color]

[yellow ribbon]

Rafiki, of course u r right... just no need to intercede

its not a bloody nose what was intended, its a piece of advise.
life is not a rehearsal...

no problems with double posting, questions, uncertainty, misspelling... i do the same.

but some certain action, of a certain person, in very few minutes, in different forums... just to increase the number of posts... with no sense at all or barely...

...again...


Rafiki, do you know you will have a tremendous year 2012 ???
you are going to gain a third dimension in life, giving your life more depth

Sov godt!

Cohnman has a grand total of 12 posts; as "spammers" go, I've seen much more impressive runs

Ah, to be young and/or eager again, eh?

Uhm, have you been smelling your old gym socks again....?

Sov godt!

You too!

[yellow ribbon]

as i said... ...in different forums...

what might be needed to be expressed was, what is possible to misunderstand is..., i guess...

no, i smoked the gym socks, for u see, i am a 1970s pop song.

so you dont know?

you are going to be a star again, some funny dude saw it fit to revive your appearance at movie theater screens, but this time in 3D...

yeah, the erie thing is, if you write more than three sentences even the devs chat with you what you actually mean...

Bra, takk.
