Changes in 1.05.18

Nice to see Jyri's work included. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks again for the hard work guys.

6)Added Soviet fortified regions in 1941 to ports with high fortification levels

Does this mean Riga now has new fortifications?  I'm finding it more difficult to capture on Turn 1 with the method that worked previously.

No. It means that FR units have been added to the high level fortified ports so that they don't start degrading and that the hexes are "legal" under the new fort rules.

Hanko got an extra FR. And I think that the NKVD Div in Riga was boosted as well. The scripted AI move now fails to clear Riga.

Nothing was changed in the Riga area.

Hanko's had two FR units. Scripted AI is hit or miss, much like what a human player might, or might not pull off.

If Hanko shouild have two FR units, OK.

About Riga and the NKVD: I think that the cause could be higher at start morale for the division, though I have only run 3 tests - it takes a while for each. Was the routine for morale determination changed? The div has 55+.

In one test I got this retreat result that I thought was illegal since it is into ZOC. But Riga fell in this one.

they can retreat in ZoC
only important thing is control of hex for retreat
otherwise I saw them retreating to the west

14)Ran Pavel's Fort fix

G'Day, what's this Fort fix entail ?
the reason i am enquiring is that I am developing my own GC'41 and as I do all the updates to my GC as listed on the whats new list manually, how does one do this Fort fix ?
Please list all the exact detail as to what has been changed in the whats new file, so I can do the changes manually myself to my own GC.

Also the commander for the XXVII is General der Infanterie Alfred Waeger not Generalmajor Karl Waeger
Also the commander for the XXXIV in 1941 is General der Infanterie Hermann Metz not Generalleutnant Ferdinand Schaal
Thanks ..Shane

Will changes to the OOB show if one continues a saved game?

Thanks in advance

No, only with new games do you get the data changes.

It would be nice if the developers have a look at the long list of data errors and suggestions I posted in this thread, based on the german version 1.04.36. Some may have already been fixed while others may still be open.
Some data errors are an easy fix, others may require some investigation or image search.

We've already discussed it. The data guys are tied up now getting the alpha data for WitW set up, but we do plan on getting around to reviewing your post in the future when they have some time. We appreciate the time you took to post these items. Thanks.

Tanks for the info - several of these errors bugged me since War in Russia (like factory placements).
Just a minor question regarding a specific functionality: Are these aircraft/tank/equipment upgrade paths just for units, just for factories or for both ?

They are for factories and the ground elements and aircraft in the units.
