I understand Britain is on holiday. Are Belgium, Italy, and China being actively played? Don't want to waste more diplomats.
Crash issue appears resolved - Win7 (with which I have only a couple of days experience) adjusted for a compatibility issue with the 1.03d QF file.

I am not sure about Belgium, if not, we should turn it on AI. China is AI, so I guess it simply did not want to respond (can happen). Italy is played by Gimpli.

You can or you cannot? As long as it is not claimed by someone and is colonial area, I suppose you can move there, especially if you are at war with the claimer.

Never seen such a message in the past. There is a small unknown fleet in the Inner Sea. Probably pirates or something like that. Curious cause it is blocking without the possibility to target it. Will send the big fleet to see what's wrong...

Hey Kensai,
thx for looking into the problem.
The script I posted works fine. Indeed I copied large parts of it from other posts, including another one of yours. I tested it several times and I think it can be run. I repost it here with some comments to your convinience and for the interested public (comments are behind "//").
I used "SetColStatusArea" which seems by far more elegant but it behaved unpredictable. So I switched to targeting each region that needs fixing individually.
Hope this helps.

Often pirates are not detected. A common pestilence around the Red Sea and Gulf.

Great work and initiative, I will have a look at this ASAP. If it all works as intended we can run it indeed one of the following days.

I noticed already that Prussia comes in two different national colours. The lilac that is Suez colour right now (background of the name) is the old colour of Prussia. Can you target Cairo with that army?
Did the "Unification of Germany" event fire in this game? Maybe something went wrong there.
Also a possible cause could be an attempt to move the army by river transportation wich might get blocked by enemy artillery.
"I am here already.", said the hedgehog to the hare.
The Suez is indeed one of the issues Pocus should see once he has some time.

PS. See, Sir Garnet? Smaller nations might not have fortress units, but the actions (which were designed for larger nations) are overpowered when played. The conscripts Greece got was a greater surge than you would get for Russia, proportionally.
Smaller countries might be expected to overraise troops to try to reduce the odds, though few went as far as Paraguay. There should be definite costs and consequences depending on how the effort fares.
Smaller countries do have fortress countries. It is just Latin America that was tail-end Charlie in army creation work (appropriately so, since there are no playable countries in the scenario design and few events so it is basically a resource area by design and circumstance). They are, however, among the countries most likely to raise low-mobility forces for political, financial and strategic reasons.
I think I'll offer a prize of some kind for a Latin American garrison forces script developed along the lines explained by Pocus, if that is OK with management.

Well, in theory, it should not be so difficult. I guess it all depends on giving a limited force pool for the units in questions (for the nations in question). If you want to research it, be my guest. But please do it for all 24-playable nations (minus the major or those that already have it, obviously). I don't want to stop you or anything, I just consider it superfluous myself.
In the pipeline, I personally have to do the following:
- fix Turkey's bogus CPs and "national region" tags (and in other places as well, if you report them to me)
- unlock Guard unit of Constantinople
- present you with an enhanced scripted event for a 1879 War of the Pacific with CBs, updated objective regions, a couple of scripted units for Peru and Bolivia (poor nations, I suspect they have almost nothing due to the fact they never got some human player love)

Citizen X, I checked your script, it is accurate on most issues. And congrats on finding the shortcuts. The only corrections I would make are the following:
- start it as CMN event so it shows up to all, this is a little convention we have so everyone knows what goes in as added script.
- add for better referencing a date between parentheses
So it would be:
Another issue: Libanon and Syria are setting the whole area to "Turkish non-national region". Shouldn't it be colony, Citizen X? If yes, then one final correction is needed: to revert the colonial penetration of Latakia and Damascus to 75 and then fire it up. Could you do this please?

That correction can be done better, codewise, however it might not work. I had intentionally left Damascus alone for it had some funny effects when I involved Damascus and I suspiced that it might have to do something with revoking the non-national status on a capital. Your solution to first set its CP to zero might do the trick
Test this one. It sets colonial status first and only for the capital region Damascus (because it sets the same for the entire region) and then set the proper CP because SetColStatus on the capital overwrites SetColonialPen in all subordinate regions with the minimum standard value (50) wich we don't want.
The 1850 value of Syria is 85.
And I totally agree that there should be a testing enviroment. Even with the limitations of this scripting language there could be some nice things be done.
What I would actually wish for as number one would be an update on the Wiki though, with the information where scripts should be entered to have them actually be run.

Well as I said, I was under the impression you were dropping Egypt to take over Italy.
Now that I better understand the current situation, more troops are returning to Egypt. I guess I will have to turn it into a wasteland then.
