Hidden activation feature

[Sorel]

Hi all,

I thought this new feature was implemented in the 1.03 patch, but, after having installed it, my generals remain showing their activation status. I have no BRS.

Is this feature planned instead for a future patch?

[Pocus]

They always seem to be activated, but they won't all be in truth.

[Ace]

The feature works like this:
1) All your generals are active during turn orders
2) During turn resolution, some of them (based on their strategic rating) will become inactive - you never know which one. Simple as that

[Sorel]

Sorry, but the question is that some of them appear inactive (just as it had always been); that´s reason why I think this new feature is not working in my current PBEM game. Could it be because we started this game with 1.02 and applied 1.03 afterwards?

[Ol' Choctaw]

That could be, as the option was not in the game at the time.

However, it could be new leaders showing up inactive by event.

[Keeler]

To ask the obvious: You did change the slider in the game options, correct?

[Z74]

By the fact there was no answer to Keeler's Q, i suppose the issue was guessed correctly, hence solved, eheehheehe

[Sorel]

Sorry, I went out this weekend, but, really, I did not know it was needed to actívate a game option. So, yes, problema solved

The hidden activation feature is, ironically, a little hidden.

Question: I read somewhere there is a hidden activation "Bonus" of some sort. Is that correct? Or did I read that wrong?

Or is the chance of activation pretty much the same as it was before, you just can't see it now?

[Ace]

Pretty much the same chance to be active.

I really like the sound of this new feature. Very interesting. I hope we might see the option in some, no all, the older games.

If you mean WIA, you are really a masochist! But so am I

Can Athena play adequately with hidden activation? The tooltip makes it sound like she can't. Ace is using a workaround in his AAR giving her high Activation Bonus (AI Settings Screen) on the premise that she will be active often enough that it will only sometimes affect her. I am eagerly awaiting his report on this setting, and hoping it workst, since I play against the AI.

Can anyone else give any feedback on your experiences so far in how she plays under any setting? I want to try it on my next game, and am curious to know just how "sub-optimal" she is.
