What happened to the garrison order?

[Sanny]

I blame the Groogy, after all didn't he say he touched the Garrison AI? Think it was an act of sabotage by the EU4 guys

But yeah I noticed something was off with it, so I've resorted to manually handling the garrisons which always have worked better anyway.

Garrison worked fine for me only suppression seems a bit odd and not working properly (stacking lots of MP in no-uprising provinces and shuffeling 20 % of MP around in the high uprising provinces)

If I choose guard ports/coast/forts it works very good.

For future updates it would be awesome if you could give Prios. Like first guard ports then VP then Coast then do suppression.

As Japan I set up a garrison order to just protect ports. Despite this I did select a state with no port. When the PRC and co took 2 provinces on the border of the state a steady stream of my garrison divisions headed over and attacked the invaders.

I'll try it again at some point or see if I have an auto save (or whether I'm just going mad).

AFAIK units with garrison have always tried to repel anyone who invades 'their' state. I guess it would be ideal if this could be toggled via a 'defend state' switch if you only care about a critical port etc. But I think it's WAD.

Ah, I haven't used it for a few patches so if that's the case I probably wouldn't remember. If that's what they do I think I'll just go back to manual placement of garrisons. I was only trying it as it had been worked on in this patch.

Oh man I usually don't do beta patches, but I guess I really have no choice this time...

I used too garrison for suppression rebel attacking my factory and infrastructe. That is big broken.

Too it big broken in island area with the new navy setup/ to stop dummy army navy invasion /transport exploit It break down the garisson order. So with the garrison order, patrol ships and radar still they leave port again and again to sail in enemy hand. Do not say you are not allowed to occupied until your rules te sea.

Yes maybe it work a bit better with no islands and no rebel hunting because moving around is less essential or make new type of garrison general with is for free so every island and area can get his own commander to do the garrison task without transporting with ships or easy option verbidden to use transportships?

The garrison troop command in 1.5 is definitely messed up compared with 1.4... I used it frequently in the past. It sometimes helps to move garrison troops to the same area you are selection to garrison first, and then cancel the order, and redo the order.
