1.05 hotfix Partisan RGD

[Cardinal Ape]

The patch notes say that Partisans’ decisions still raze only one depot level at a time.

I'm seeing the partisan RGD destroying level four depots in one go using the 1.05 hotfix. Its really harsh.

Yes, the description is in error, but the behavior as you have stated it, is intended.

[Cardinal Ape]

Well that kinda caught me off guard. Lesson learned the hard way.

If it requires 2+ divisions to have a chance to stop a single partisan from blowing up a level 4 depot then I am not sure there is much point in doing so. It is far more cost efficient to leave back-line depots undefended and instead station supply wagons to rebuild them.

Yes, the description is in error, but the behavior as you have stated it, is intended.

intended is, that a partisan RGD decrease a level 4 depot to level 3. (see the red notes in the latest Patch)
Cardinal Ape means, he sees a RDG destroxed the entire level 4 depot.

[Cardinal Ape]

Yes. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

From level 4 to nothing.

[Pocus]

That's abnormal, the script should remove one level only.

In the game where the partisan RGD destroyed Ape's level 4 depot, I had problems with the 1.05 hotfix.

If the fix didn't take on my end, would that allow the depot destruction?

[Captain_Orso]

That's abnormal, the script should remove one level only.

In 1.05 RC9-PB and afterwards the file '..\CW2\GameData\Structures\5-Depot.str' was changed, 'NoRazeLevel' was changed from 2 to 5, so that depots of size 1 - 4 can be raised.

The RGD events file however has not changed. The events 'RGDScriptPartisansRaid' and 'RGDScriptIndiansRaid', Partisan and Indians Raid respectively, both still use the 'Action' 'RemoveStructure = ByKind $StuDepot;ALL;ANYFAC' which explicitly removes 'ALL' depots in a region if all conditions are met.

The 'RemoveStructure' script command does not, according to the Wiki, have a parameter to reduce a structure level. This is why depots of all sizes are removed by the RGD's.

[Pocus]

My fault then, I updated the command to have an optional parameter to remove only one level, I'll fix that.

[Captain_Orso]

I was kind of wondering if that might be the case.

Don't forget that the Raid events themselves must also be changed .

It would be awesome if there was also a parameter to set a depot to a specific level regardless of its current size to allow for modding RGD's and events.
