8.6.16 Charge promotion not working

[jacktannery]

Playing Harold - Danes with 8.6.16.

My beserkers start with the promotion 'charge' which is supposed to give them +1 movement and other boni, but their movement is only 2. I think that this is a bug.

Thanks for bringing this up. I changed the tooltip but forgot to add the actual effect. It should be fixed in 17.

Thanks Thal. Is this easy for me to change myself. I found the BC Promotions.xml file and the Charge entry. Do I just add <MovesChange>1</MovesChange> somewhere?

In "BC - Promotions.xml":

<Where Type="PROMOTION_CHARGE" />
<Set AttackWoundedMod="20"
Amphib="true"
River="true"
MovesChange="1"
PromotionPrereqOr1="PROMOTION_SHOCK_3"
PromotionPrereqOr2="PROMOTION_DRILL_3"
OrderPriority="4"
/>

The highlighted line was missing.

Thanks. I made the change, but there is no difference in game. I even tried deleting moduser data and reloading, but still no change. Do I have to start a new game for this to take effect. My beserkers are getting slaughtered by English Longbowmen at the moment, so it would be pretty handy.

Civ is rather weird about all that, which is why I test changes with a deleted cache and new game. If it works there but not your save it's a Civ problem. If it doesn't even work in a new game there's something else going on.
