Save_game error, can happen occasionally?

[novapaddy]

Putin mod, E3 map.
I can get this error on reloading a savegame.

Line 11123: ERROR : Invalid or missing location for naval unit (USN Fleet 24) in Mods\zzPUTIN190116\scenarios\save games\Iran_2015_July_1.eug, line ~ 219876!

here is the text from the savegame:

navalunit = {
id = { type = 4712 id = 7057 }
name = "USN Fleet 24"
location = 0
home = 3
base = 633
morale = 0.5000
}

There is no USN Fleet 24 in the starting oob. I have checked the province.csv file and there is no port on province 0.
There is no port on province 633 either.

A complete mystery to me.

Any ideas please as to what is causing this error.

Thank You.

Thanks for your reply. I just checked, province 633 is a land province.

Every time I get this error, it is this province. ...,.?

The error reported is correct (as there's "Invalid or missing location for naval unit" indeed).
I've never seen that and I have no idea how a sea unit could end in province 0 (which is a special one as pointed out by kaguravitro) and has for base a land province with no port.
The important thing is that this always happens to the same province (633) in your mod, so probably start from there (which is that province, what's important about it - who controls it, is it a capital, was it transferred recently and so on). Also check all events if there's not one that creates the unit there.

Its not a strategic redeplyment problem ( i think i read that province zero is also used in that task, am i wrong martin?) becose ships shouldnt have strategic redeployment. Usa was running ai or was you playing as usa?

Thanks for your helpful replies.
Province 633 is Richmond, Virginia, capital of the Confederate USA states, otherwise just a land province next to Norfolk, the major USA naval base on the East Coast.

No access to sea, a proper land province. Part of USA, so stable. I've searched all the files mentioning 633 and nothing to note so far. I'll keep looking.

Thanks again.

wich original postion of units in .inc file, change base with out a war proposes look strange. check ai files, alwais the key is in the ai.

The USA is at war with isis a day or so after the mod starts, so the USA ships do move about a lot, under ai control.

But there is no mention of province 633 in the ai file or any ai file, or anywhere in the mod.

...................

I have been wondering about the AI working at all in the E3 map, because at times it does NOT do as it is told, appears to be reading some other file, even though it is told to read from the mod folder. ...?

A for instance:

RUS ai. it keeps sending huge amounts of divs to the CHC border, even though CHC is totally removed from the AI file, or is specifically told to just guard the UKR border...

I ended up just using the default.ai, as now it guards everywhere evenly... but at least I do end up with some divs near UKR... and not all guarding China.

Weird.

i have no problem with ai about combat in general ( i have problem in 1914 with some conection wich make complex go agros som fronts over rivers), removed is nothing it should set avoid (-1) or zero depending the field. the masive of units in fronts realy depends of many variable, thats had to manage (in number) but in porportion you should set aproximaetd deployment, If you use reactive, if chenese have units in the front, it could get units there. read and think, the answer is no alwais obvios.
i have no one error or problem with ai in my game, exept a minor bug i cannot find yet in events sedeprovinces.
