Offworlder wrote:I can confirm that militia trains up to Continentals (yellow jacket) and then to Advanced Continentals (red jacket).
BTW this automatic upgrade does not happen uniformly. Sometimes units in the same area as a training officer start upgrading. Other times it happens in areas without any officers. It happens to both militias and yellow jacket Continentals. Sometimes even to riflemen who become elite riflemen etc. But the end product is that within 3 years the Americans end up with a massive regular army.
I'm still trying to attach the files but I can't seem to find them on the browser thingy. (Did I say that I'm a dilettante in IT )

It also prevented the training officers to upgrade the continentals under their command instead of the outlying militia garrisons which in turn led to massive dismissal of untrained continental rgts come January.
Is this the same?
Offworlder wrote:Yes the training officers are working correctly. The only units that seem they can't train are the militia riflemen found in the south (not irregulars).
lodilefty wrote:Correct - the Militia Riflemen and Backwoods Riflemen do not upgrade.
...for now

What could the Backwoods Riflemen Upgrade to?

Stwa wrote:BTW, I recently upgraded my mods to BoA1 v 1.13d which exhibits many of the same problems you have been describing. So I was compelled to try and fix it.
1. I got the AUTO Upgrade to work. (hint, I did not use AutoTechUpg).
2. It looks like the Training Officer Ability is hosed. Either Parms 1 - 7 are bogus or the code behind these is bugged.
3. Right now, It looks like the game will go to each stack in the same area where the Training Officer is and try to update 2 compaines. This seems like an ACW thing? So if Washington is in Reading (PA), the game will also try to update 2 companies of the regiment in Wyoming (PA) and Pittsburg (PA). Maybe not? I worked with Saratoga and 1778 Northern. Parm 7 looks like the # of companies to upgrade (set at 2) and Parm 3 looks like the probability of the event which is set at 100.
4. So, perhaps Pocus can tell us what the Parms are for the Training Officer Ability and if its a data problem we can fix it.

Sorry Stwa, but you're saying that you have worked on this in BoA, but you don't say if the suggested fixes are what work for BoA or what would work for WIA; in a WIA-thread I'd hope for the latter, which is why I'm bringing it up.Stwa wrote:I think if you look close at the post, I mentioned BoA v 1.13d several times.
Stwa wrote:I am also working with WIA 1.01d, these two guys are about 6 months apart, so they probably have a lot in common.
Ardie wrote:So it was the same bug. I think I'll wait some more before ordering WIA.
