[1.04b7] Strategic movement cost calculation is wrong for non-independent units

Post by demiare »

I suspected that for some time, but now have a clear proof that cost calculation is wrong for multi-units.

Let's compare Independent Mechanized Infantry with OHQ of Mechanized Siege Infantry.

So we have 100 APC + 1k infantry VS 50 APC + 500 Infantry. Obviously that OHQ is two times lighter? But game will not agree!

Strategic movement cost is 350 vs 942. [&:]

Now I understand why I had constant troubles with strategic movement of my brigades...

Hi,

Do you have a save game showing this?

Sorry I was a bit wrong about that bug - it isn't related to "normal" strategic movement cost calculation but caused by changing unit formation & usage of transfer between unit.
Steps to 100% reproduce this issue:
1) Change formation from basic leg infantry to mechanized one. Everything is still good (downgrading formation and releasing trucks work fine too!)
2) Add lacking APC via transfer* from SHQ (SHQ having more unit in reserve then just APC).
3) Strategic move of this unit is completely broken. It's actually broken - unit that normally should have ~300 strategic move cost now have 1432 cost and refuse to move through road still having 968 logistic points available.
*I'm quite sure that it will trigger without manual transfer too - in next turn when regiments will get reinforcements from SHQ. As I already saw this issue previously and this is my first game when I actively experimenting with transfer between units ^_^

Problem will fix herself at next turn. But persist in turn it's triggered even after loading game.

Sorry again for wasting your time. Unsure if you will need a save, but here is my save. OHQ of 2nd Mechanized Siege Infantry brigade in my capital have 1432 strategic movement cost.
