[GEM 1.066] Only ranched unit XP adds to GG points?

[skodkim]

Hi

Using GEM 1.066/CivUP36 I've got two units in the early game, an archer and a Spearman. I've noticed that it's only when I win battles with the archer that the XP gained is added to Great General points.

Using other mods but newly started game, cache cleared, etc.

didn't it used to be the opposite?

Convinced it used to be both, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

I had thought it was both too. Is this against barbs?

Thal thinks that's a bug in game. I will test in vanilla to see if we just misremembered it. See if they award properly against a civ too.

Update: this looks like a gk change that only attacking and defending ranged barbs gives gg points. I have no idea why. Units still gain xp properly. If thal enables Barbarians mod should be up to level 3 too. But no GG except from archery.

IIRC there's a bug that not all units gain GG points, and it's unfixable my modders

Thats a pretty nasty bug. Do you have a source?

Best explanation I saw. Must have changed with either patch or GK because I do seem to remember it working before.

Good thread about it. I think the conclusion there is the same as mine so far: Ranged combat against barns earns you GG points (to a certain limit) while melee combat does not.

Guessing it's not something Thal can fix
