1. STAB HIT FOR TRUCE BREAKING IN DEFENSIVE WARS

If a nation you are allied to gets DOWed and you are asked to join the war on the side of your ally and on the other side there is a nation with whom you have a truce: then you will get a -5 stab hit for breaking the truce. REMOVE IT! You should only get stab hit for truce breaking in offensive wars. This takes very little coding to fix.


2. MONARCH ABILITY STACKING

Previously we had two stacking bugs, monarch stats and RR. IIRC the RR bug was fixed but not the monarch stat. So if you first get say the Richelieu event with great monarch stats for 20 years or whatever it is, and you then get the random event with stats lowered for 12 months then the latter will take precedence but will apply for all the years the Richelieu event lasts.


3. ATTRITION VALUES ARE INCORRECTLY DISPLAYED

Make the army window show the correct attrition instead of the real value minus 1 as is the case today. Same for ship attrition.


4. CAVALRY SIEGE ONLY BUG

Remove the code that makes the AI abandon sieges in plains when they have only cavalry. I refuse to believe that this can be that difficult to diagnose. Take a WC game (where there are few nations) and create a suitable vassal (for example on the plains of France), give him some cavalry and DOW him. Then debug what command in the code it is that makes him enter and immediately leave a plains province of yours.


5. MAKE THE AI RESPECT ATTRITION MORE

Work on the algorithm that makes the AI waste so many men in one siege only.


6. AND MANY MORE BUGS REPORTED IN THE GAME THREAD

-------------

Since there is going to be a new engine many bugs will be avoided but at least some of them enumerated above will not disappear just like that because the programmers will no doubt copy a lot of code and loads of system design.

I will guess we are a lot that will be quite disappointed if the new game comes out and we find that "have they not fixed this bug :confused: :mad: "

We will have a lot of new bugs to face, let us try and avoid the old ones. :)
