Nice Btw can i edit the game to have partisan/guerrilla other than China? Like Timor ?

There will be a way of coding into combat a device with no AV ?

A device that only eats supplies, but has no effect in combat. Could the amount of supplies used by that device customizable ?

Our experience is that el cid's supply sinks seem to make hexes untakeable.

Just curious: For what purpose do you want something like this?

But to answer your question: You can always give any device anti-soft and anti-armor values of '0'.

Yeah, with 0 and 0 but they have a combat value minimum of squads/10 = so 100 squads = 10 AV = bad things

Squads are not the only device type.

It doesn´t matter, we have tried with artillery, tanks, etc.

They count on AV as 1:1 only support squads counts as 1/10 AV

Try surface radar (10). Not sure if this consumes supplies, however.

But I still don't understand for what purpose you want it. Could probably give you a better answer if I knew.

Short answer is this is not something we have looked at but most device types dont add AV.

I . . . think . . . yes, to the "no effect on combat", and 'no' to customizable supply consumption by device.

As I understand it, all infantry, engineer (except device 252) and armored vehicle devices have an unadjusted AV = 1. All other devices have an AV = 0, except support squads which are supposed to have a (defense only) AV= 0.1.

So if you create, say, an artillery device with a soft and hard effect of zero, it would in theory consume supplies without affecting combat. But you can not vary how many supplies it will consume.

Yes you will be able do this, but the "partisans" only damage factories so if there are none present I don't think there will be any practical effect.

Okay and thanks for the added info about effects.

they also damage airfields, airbases and ports. Of course you can easily repair them again...

Thx

Don't they also destroy Supply. I think they did in Stock and I found that the most annoying of their actions (otherwise one could have left several bases in China where ports/airbases where not used undefended).
No guarantee of any correctness.

As far as I am aware the actions of partisans have not been changed in AE, so that they will do whatever they did in stock.

I apologise if this has already been asked, but I noticed on one of the screenshots that an LCU has three load costs listed:

Troops load cost
Cargo load cost
Total load cost


I'm guessing that this is done to help us better understand the actual number of ships needed to haul that unit. Nice...

Ships now have four separate capacities (instead of the current WITP one)
Troop capacity is space set up for human occupation. i.e. number of bunks
Cargo Space is holds, etc for equipment and cargo.
(there are also aircraft and liquid)

Troops (squad devices, support) go into troop space, equipment into cargo space. So a unit with 10 squad devices of load cost 15 and 5 weapons devices with load cost 20 would require:
Troop Load Cost: 150
Cargo Load Cost: 100

Cross loading is possible, with lots of (very reasonable) restrictions, but at a load cost penalty (similar to the ones used in WITP).

A good load master will build a TF with ships totaling enough of the proper type of capacity to lift the unit.

Were loading routines reworked? I mean if I put AP and AK - will program load squads only in AP and equipment only in AK (so to avoid penalties)?
