[Col] ColDOS - units not being demoted

[Bladrov]

Has anyone had a situation where, when fighting the REF, when your units are defeated they're deleted rather than demoted?

This can happen with anyone in the game. It seems to be a general glitch. Unless you are talking about damaged artillery and Regulars, those are obviously always deleted.

Ok, so this is just something that happens sometimes? In my latest game, I was fighting the REF and suddenly found there were no troops left on the square I was attacking from. I loaded from save and found the same thing was happening, consistently. Maybe it's a corruption in this particular save.

It's especially bad if it happens to you in the middle of the game, when your dragoons just disappear after losing a battle.

And you're now facing the REF with one hand tied behind your back! But luckily it's not my favorite part of the game.

It happened to me again last night, though not during the Revolution. I lost two veteran soldiers!

Luckily, it occurs to me now finally, that I can use the cheat mode to restore those two. If I create two Veteran Soldier units in the colony, that will effectively demote them.
