BUG: KNOWN: Wrong soldier sprites occasionally

[birch23]

More Castile Problems

Having won some provinces in Brazil from Portugal,naturally the "undeclared" war goes on as they has CBs on Brazil,and tries to get their provinces back in Tordesillas treaty way.Much to my surprise when I built more infantry and the AI as Portugal did the same both turned out to be spearmen despite the fact that I'm on level 16 in landbattle amd I think Portugal is on 13.Both Units however turned into Musketeers when "melted" together with other units..but????

115 : Type: Interface | Status: NEW | Severity: MINOR
Missing sprite for Portuguese soldiers in 18th century.
Reported In: 1.02 | Correction planned In : | Corrected In :

I'm not aware of the same problem with other powers, but there have been sporadic reports of wrong sprites. As it is fixed by a merge or just by a save and reload, and it does not seem to be able to be duplicated, we're not going to be able to get it fixed.

If you can duplicate it at will, let us know. Thx.

I've had all the other sprites display as level 1 soldiers at one time or other, as far as I remember. This was for Munster. I'm sure it's just a display issue, so I just ignore it. In as similar way to the issue of both armies facing the same way on reload of battles, which reminds me, I must do some screenshots at some stage for you Andrew.

Well, I can duplicate this sprite behaviour at will.

Every single time when I load a saved game where an army build of mine is underway, the completed army pops on the map as spearman, instead of the correct sprites.

It doesn't matter which country I play either. I have seen this happen when I played France, Spain, Austria and China (I haven't played other countries yet)

It doesn't seem to change the battle characteristics, just the sprites.

I've seen this as well, but I have always associated it to the fact that new build troops have to raise their moral, and so at minimum moral they appear as level 1 troops. IIRC there was also the same phenomenon in EU1.

As for the portugal sprite issue, that does not apply to what birch is saying. Level 13 and 15 are the "2nd generation" sprite, and they are correctly displayed for Portugal, it is the generation after that is wrongly displayed.
