ugly bug just cost me a playthrough -_-

[unmerged(182532)]

ive narrowed down the bug as far as i can. i had my big stack of army in enemy territory. about a 3/15/0. sued for peace, thus i have units in enemy territory. i needed chivalry out of there for another war asap, so (with general) i separated infantry (took infantry out, general stay with chiv). territory landlocked, and surrounded by said enem's provinces.

separating your armies within another country's provinces traps your units. cant move them anywhere because i'm not at war, just sued for peace and only at +1 stability... not the only war i have going in region... no saves to go back to.. only way's to kill off 15000~ units and recruit them again somewhere else, but i dont have that kind of manpower in the middle of the war. was supposed to be in 'cleanup phase'... war exhaustion's getting up there where revolts are all but inevitable

awesome

It's your own fault

depending on how much money you have and how much it costs to bring up relations, I suppose you could solve it by negotiating military access

That ugly bug have cost me some regiments too. I think it came up in 3.2 due to the changes it made so you could walk home through the HRE after a war. It didn't quite work as planned...

But it wasn't the bug that cost you the playthrough. It was your lack of saves.

Pause, ask them for mil access, open console, change tag, accept mil access, change tag back, unpause, march troops home, cancel mil access.

ive tried military access. doesnt seem to be an option seeing as i just sued for peace with them. im not in their good books. and yea, definitely got fuked through my saves. my autosaves arent any good, and going back 10 years is an entirely new game anyway. oh wells. time to start all over

Just pause, send them the request, save and load into their nation accept it save and reload back with your original nation.

Problem solved in a technically cheating but really it's just to fix an error kind of way.

 

[Darkrenown]

Just use the change tag cheat like I said

I really don't see why this is a game breaker. There are about 10 ways to fix this, with cheats or without. If you're not even interested enough in keeping your savegame to do one of those simple steps, it probably wasn't that great a game anyway.

 

[Kanaric]

Are you saying that you can't move your units within an enemies territory once you declare peace and have that unit still in there? Or are there other countries without military access between you and them? If its the 2nd case this is not a bug.

Ya, this isn't a big deal.

Ya, this isn't a big deal.

It's when moving between two provinces in the same country so it's definately a bug. And with the load times for this game I would say it's a big deal.

 

[Darkrenown]

Load times aren't that long, but you can fix it with no loading required.

 

[midget_roxx]

I've had the exact same problem as you. All the groups you split up put them back into the original army, then you can move them around no worries. If you have divided land, then split them up on the border of your land and it should be ok then. Just expect lots of attution

Maybe that works for some but in my games I have never gotten the tag cheat to work... And I'm a bit hesitant anyway since I have heard from reliable sources that the tag cheat can mess up the game in HttT.

But yes. Load times are very long for those that haven't got the best computers..

 

[Darkrenown]

You might be capitalising incorrectly it's "tag = TAG" e.g. "tag = FRA" if you have uppercase in the first bit or lowercase in the second it won't work.
The problem with the tag cheat now is the AI keeps running on the new country, but since you don't unpause until you go back to your first country it's not an issue.

And my pc is 4-5 years old. I know it's not impossible to have an older one, but I'm not exactly on the bleeding edge here

I had a kind of backwards problem; France was not at war with me, I was Burgundy, and they were fighting Austria, for some reason they both could walk right across me land. Now Austria's a part of the empire, so I understand that, but France isn't and I didn't give them land access. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

 

[Darkrenown]

You're part of the empire, they can walk over you since they are at war with the Emperor.
