Embarked

[unmerged(129139)]

What does it mean when a thing is embarked? I've only noticed it twice, once it was not a problem, the other time it was.

The first time is with the anschluss of Austria, the leaders are embarked.

The second time, I was playing as the US, and had a fleet of transports in the Med. I told them to retreat from a battle against three DDs. Suddenly, next to their fleet name was {embarked}. They then did not retreat, nor could I tell them to retreat again. I lost five transports that day before I could get my fleet to them. From now on, I escort my fleets.

Anyways, I was just wondering what it meant to be embarked. Thanks for any help in advance.

In game terms, it means "located in province #0"... which is a non-existent province.

Units loaded aboard transports are given province #0 as an address... so whenever a unit gets bugged and loses its location, the game thinks that it is embarked (on a transport).

Trying to retreat from a naval battle BEFORE the mandatory four hours expires is the easiest way to trigger this bug. You MUST stay in battle for four hours before retreating.

Oh okay. Cool thanks for the info.
