A returning noob has 10 questions
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:49 pm
I bought the game a while back & have since returned playing it. I like alot of the changes (still haven't fully grasped it all again, yet). However, I did have some questions. Some of them....like the militia & conscripts stuff still escapes me, and I do not want to loss ships to due my misunderstand/mistakes, either.
(1) I bought a monitor which appeared in Springfield, IL. I could not move the unit as it still had a red band around it (as if it was being built). As first, I did not think anything odd about it until many turns later it "died" due to a line in the text saying that it was land locked (as if it got attrited). At that point I thought it weird that it was placed at a city with no port. At least it does not look like a port is there. I wish I would have saved it, but I did not. Any ideas?
.....Never Mind on #1..... I see it is mentioned in the Hot Fix.
(2) If a port/harbor gets the Icon for Frozen, does that only block the port or the adjacent area, too?
(3) What happens to the ships in that port while it is frozen?
(4) What happens to any gunboats in the river?
(5) Do the supply wagons slow down units/stacks?
(6) Training Officer trait says that "If the commander, will train up to two regiments of conscripts to regular soldiers every turn.
6a) Does that mean he has to be the highest ranked officer in the stack? or combined with them as their division commander?
6b) What criteria meets that "if the commander"
6c) who exactly is considered a conscript? a militia? who?
7) If a militia unit gets trained up to a regular soldier, does it lose the State Militia tagged to its icon?
8) If a militia gets enough combat experince does it "rank up" to a regular soldier eventually?
9) The Recruiting Officer trait says "Can muster new Conscripts on a regular basis in cities of level 5+. Must be in the city to do so."
9a) That simply adds conscripts to the force pool, right?
9b) Not actually units on the field, correct?
9c) If so, how many?
10) Can I stack multiple recruiting officers in the same place and get the same benefit? Or is the 2nd officer wasted?
