CORE 0.60 for AoD Open Beta 1 (0.60.14a/b)

[Tegetthoff]

We will publish an 0.60.14c on the weekend (RL permitting). This will contain further bug-fixes and spelling corrections etc. I am also hoping to make a proper split between basic download and b/w gfx pack, but no promises there.

From then on, you can expect a slight pause as we might think about adding real substance to get a final release version.

[Tegetthoff]

Few things I've noticed:

When US Chief of Staff Malin Craig retires in 39' he isn't being replaced.

There is a gameplay event to make Craig retire in February 39.
There is also an AI event to place Marshall in power anytime after January 39.

So the only problem is that if you are playing the USA, Craig is replaced by a random leader and not by Marshall. You have to change to Marshall by hand and suffer the small dissent hit.

The proper way to code this would be to offer at least two choices to succeed Craig, better three.

Marshall is one, who would be the others?

Softcoded combat event effects in misc.txt

Have you guys checked this yet in the latest 1.8 beta 6 version? Any ideas what improvements can be done for CORE via this new feature?

MacArthur was CSA before Craig, for one. Which others were 4-star generals early 1939?

We´ll concentrate on migrating to 1.08 when 1.08 is done. Since Denniss is quite deeply involved in the community contributions to 1.08, we shall rely on him quite a lot when we move CORE 0.60 over to 1.08.

Not sure if it's already been noticed, but when adding AA to the Purpose Built transport (8) the IC requirement jumps from 5 (ish) to 36.
Seems a bit high..

Edit.... Found it.

# 7 - Improved Centimetric AA Battery (20 guns)
model = {
	cost 				= 120

From naval_spotter_l.txt file in Units directory..

Others are 1.8, 2.4 etc.. Possibly a decimal point out of place?

Cakes,

Thanks, but this has already been fixed for 0.60.14c.

Everybody,

Sorry guys, no new version for the moments, some problems have come up.

[kephas]

there is no claims for Communistic China for the rest of China territory (is this WAD or these claims will rise later? I decline United Front against Japan and no new claims appear...

[Tegetthoff]

I have to look into this, because there should be claims on all of China. They were removed in the CORE development cycle early on, due to some engine limitations. As these no longer exist (or we have learned to script around them), they were re-inserted some time ago. But development work also means that sometimes old stuff creeps back in ....

[Oorlog]

After Vichy is annexed it takes a long time for ITA and GER to garrison the new beaches. Only after ENG invaded did GER react.

[Cakes]

Anyone else noticing that when redeploying a number (largeish) of armies, leaders can simply disappear from the game..
Just did some major redeployments as Germany and a load of my top generals have gone (and I am not talking about just one or two here)..

Thought I was seeing this previously, but wasnt sure.. I am 99% sure now!

Have they completely disappeared or have their units been reassigned to some other leader/Corps?

[Cakes]

Completely disappeared. They don't appear in the Land Commanders list..

After the strat redeployment, I have about 7 different armies in one province without a commander..

Edit..
Been trying to reproduce it (so far without success) from a save game..

[Wildcat_PL]

Lemme quickly remind you. In 1936 Persia was already Iran.

I´ve redeployed some 30 divs around GER; no leader was lost or replaced including several generals.

[Cakes]

Found the problem....

Tried strategic redeploying as Germany from Russia (that I had just taken over) - the following tests.

1 Redeploying lots of armies at once from different territories. OK (no leader loss).
2 As #1 but I liberated Siberia and Kazakhstan first (these were the territories that the armies came from). OK
.. etc etc etc. OK
10 As per #1 but once I had selected them to Strategically Redeploy and they went into the queue, I saved the game. Exited the game. Loaded the game. Lo and behold, when they arrived in the province after the strategic redeployment, they all had NO Leaders.. Not OK..

Please confirm but it looks like something's broken!

#Cakes

[Tegetthoff]

If it´s broken, it´s not broken in CORE but in AoD. Are you using 1.08? Then you should report this in their bug thread.

[Cakes]

Was just in the middle of testing that.
Yeah, broken in 1.08 b6 - will report it..

Cheers

Integrated.

But, from the text you quote on Streccius:
Danach ging er die nächsten Jahre als Militärberater nach China. Dort scheint seine Frau 1937 verstorben zu sein.
