With pre-game deployment queue setup, non-deployment units start with terrible morale+readiness?

[wilson]

Greetings all,

I just ran into a curious thing that makes me think I've done something wrong: when I add a pre-game deployment phase to my scenario (by adding units into the deployment queue for one or more nations), every pre-placed unit on the map starts the game with terrible morale+readiness (like 5% morale and 12% readiness), as if they're being treated as having 0 supply for the initial calculation.

If I remove the units from the deployment queue and thus remove the deployment phase, then all units have normal morale+readiness as you'd expect based on their initial supply.

Have I missed an important checkbox somewhere to give non-deployment units standard supply on turn one, or have I perhaps run into an odd bug?

Hi

When this issue happens, are you starting a game in Hotseat or against the AI?

If it is against the AI, are any of your side's Majors set to be AI controlled?

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill,

I've now tested in all three situations (hotseat, single player no AI allies, single player with AI allies) and the result is the same in all cases. Deployed units have normal readiness+morale, all pre-placed units have very poor readiness+morale.

In singleplayer the opposing AI has the same issue with low readiness+morale pre-placed units.

I'm not able to repeat this, though I do recall an issue a long time back.

Please can you check that your game is fully updated. An easy way to do this is to check the version number at the bottom right of the Main Menu.

The latest released version is: v1.11.00.

Yep, I'm on v1.11.00. (Steam, in case it matters - I verified my cache as well).

I did a little more testing, and I think I may have identified the issue - when I only have one side with a deployment phase (the first playing side in this case) then the problem does not happen. It's only when both sides have deployment phases (so it goes from one deployment phase to the next, and then back to the first side to play their first turn) that the issue occurs. For me at least!

[BillRunacre]

Ah, I can see that now too. Thanks for the further testing and explanation, hopefully we'll be able to have it fixed for the next patch.

Sounds good, thanks! Love the series
