Icarus Mod, Versions 6 and 7 in Preliminary Release

[mdsmall]

So Syria is just Entente country:


Homs and some hexes there are 'CP occupied':


Ents cannot move into the occupied territory:


Because it is occupied by armisticed-Ottoman Empire...:


I think this is because of Expeditionary Corps units.

Hi Beriand,

I have done more hot-seat testing and have now figured out the source of this weird outcome. You are right: it was because Homs was occupied by an Expeditionary Corps unit. But more specifically, it was because I wrote a Surrender #2 script which triggered an armistice by the minor called Expeditionary Corps when their Ottoman parent withdraws from the war. That seems logical, but it produces this strange outcome whereby hexes occupied by Expeditionary Corps units outside the actual boundaries of the Ottoman Empire are also subject to an Ottoman armistice and thus can not be entered by Entente units.

My solution in Version 7.2 will be to make Expeditionary Corps a minor of Germany, rather than the Ottomans. That way if the Ottomans sign an armistice, Expeditionary Corps units will not disappear from the map and any hexes they occupy in the Middle East or elsewhere will be treated like normal CP occupied territory and thus can be occupied by the Entente. It will also give the Ottomans the benefit of not having to pay for upgrades or reinforcements for Expeditionary Corps units. Those costs will shift to Germany.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Feedback like this makes for a better mod!

Cheers,

Michael
