Report Bug, Get Patch

[stmartin]

Please find attached a save game for version 2.4, patch E, random pangaea map. I have Gongsun Zhan, cavalry commander level B. His core troop is a light cav. I have another light cav stacked in the same square. I cannot find a way for the second light cav to join the legion. When I select the core troop, I have an action button to regroup the legion or dissolve it. When I select the other light cav, there are no legion related action buttons.

Is there a step I am missing?

Can you use regroup legion command on the core troop? Then you should be able to select that additional cavalry into the legion.

awsome work, modders,


But:

CTD, can play, but there is a chance on every turn that this CTD happens.

Which patch is it? You mean in AI's turn there's a chance a CTD happens? Sounds like a problem before patch D.

patch E.

Stealth I - Does not work when attacking hills

Also.. any promotion that causes plains/grasslands modifications also works while on hills. Not sure if this was intentional or not.

@Evalis

plains/grassland modification works that way because in default xml there's no way to directly modify attack bonus. We use plain and grassland so that on almost all plots the attack bonus will be there.

I think something is seriously wrong with the logic to decide which action buttons to display. From my save game, I select Gongsun, click regroup, and cancel (with no action taken). Now Gongsun has no legion action buttons at all. I select another unit and then select Gongsun; still no action buttons. I click next turn, and his regroup and dissolve buttons reappear. (Still no join button for the other unit.)

Now I regroup the legion and reset, so there is no legion. Now there are three units in the plot, Gongsun and two light cavs. But Gongsun has no action buttons. Click next turn and his create legion button appears. I create a legion using the other unit for variety. Still no join button for the other unit. I click Gongsun's regroup button and select the same unit and confirm. Still no join button for the other unit.

I am sure this must be working for other people or else there would be a big cry, "Legions are no longer working!". I cannot see what is different about my game, except that it is a custom game instead of a scenario.

 

[davidlallen]

I cannot find any way to make a unit join a legion. I have tried in the standard 51x51 scenario. I play as Gongsun Zan, and I cannot make his second light cav join. I have tried regrouping and deleting the legion. I have tried as Sun Ce and using Sun Ce's other heroes like Cheng Pu. I cannot do it with archers or swordsmen. There is no join legion action button. I have seen the action button in earlier versions and I have used it fine, but I cannot see the action button ever appearing in the current patch.

Is this working for anybody else? I have installed 2.4 and then patch E, without any intermediate patches. (I assume E contains everything from A-D.)

It used to be that ungrouped units can join legion, but now you have to click on the commander (or the unit that has the commander) and use regroup or dismiss legion. (Which is a shame)

 

[davidlallen]

I do not understand. I can put the first unit into the legion. Exactly what order do I click what to make the second unit join? I cannot find any way to make the "join legion" button appear on the second unit.

 

[AnotherPacifist]

Is Gongsun Zan any level above D with cavalry (should be, I remember being able to enlist more cavalry than 1)? If not, you can only enroll 1.
How about Zhao Yun?

 

[davidlallen]

For sure Cheng Pu is C level in melee, in Sun Ce's starting stack; I gave him a swordsman, and there are other swordsmen in the stack. But there was no join button on the others, even after a "next turn", regrouping the legion, etc.

Should "D" be able to take one other unit, or is "C" required for that?

 

[AnotherPacifist]

There IS no join legion button in the most recent patch. But you should be able to group the legion when you click on "form legion"--what units can join the legion will light up. (Otherwise I can only suggest deleting the mod and reinstalling)

 

[davidlallen]

Sorry, I did not understand stmartin's original reply. The GUI has been changed so that there is no more "join legion" button on the other unit. You do it with the "regroup legion" screen now. My apologies for the confusion.

 

[stmartin]

I removed the join legion option for pure technical reason (to make it work we probably have to introduce a list data member into CvUnit which is very expensive). But I really didn't try very hard to find an alternative way to reimplement it. If you guys really like that option, then I'll consider reimplement it.

 

[davidlallen]

Part of my problem is that I was expecting it to work the way it did before, so I kept trying to make it work that way. Can you change the text for the button to "Change" or "Edit" legion, and change the hover help text for the button to "Add or subtract members from legion"?

 

[admtanaka]

Will I need to reinstall the music pack when upgrading versions?

Sure.

When upgrading versions, such as V2.3 to V2.4, you better delete the old Mod folder. When doing that, do not delete the 'sound' folder. If you do that, then you don't need to install music pack. If you delete 'sound' folder too, you need to install music pack.

[Kenjister]

Oooh, looking good! can't wait to see this natural hero death event in action!

I just rediscovered RoTK this year after a decade. So thanks for the great mod and scenarios to all those that have worked on HoTK. Im looking forward to whatever you guys add in the future as I know it will be great.

The only major bug I have encountered so far is a CTD when the random Heroes lose combat. It has happened with and without No Hero Deaths. I do not think it related to a Hero's HP as it has happened with brand new Heroes as well as Heroes Ive had around for several years in game. This CTD has occurred during my turns as well as the AI's. Sorry I do not have a saved game file to attach. I will try to copy one next time I get the CTD.

@Bogartbc

Glad you love the Mod. If you could give me a save game for the bug you described, that would be very helpful.
