Very weird bug

[Rift]

Hi first off the game is very impressive thanks to all who put the work into it.

I am doing the Arnhem Sector Campaign vs AI to get the hang of the game before going HvH

It was the final battle of the 18th just beat back KG Lippert from Renkum Heath with a combined force.

When looking at the soldier kills I noticed the attached, very weird.

It looks like the negative kills actually reduce the individual soldiers stats. Not greatly helpful. [X(]


Any thoughts (I have not tinkered with any part of the game before anyone asks [:D])

Take it easy

PS got to be honest wish you could have more points in the point pools so frustrating not to be able to give AI opponent the best kit available.

Can you attach the saved game file please or PM me with it? Thanks!

Hi oddball thanks for the reply, unfortunately I have played on from that position by about a day I think. Will the saved game file still be of use?

I have checked that squad again and their kills have no minus symbols next to them.

Interestingly I had another thing happen, Its not a bug as such but a little weird none the less.

Out of an entire BG these are the only guys that attacked me. They were true die hard fanatics IMO!!

Yeah it will probably still be helpful. Please forward it. Thanks!

Fanatic leader troops eh? I'll mention it to Steve. Were they under any particular stresses? Were you suppressing them or dropping support fire on them or some such thing? Did you happen to noticed the morale levels during the game?

It was the fact that even though they were the only ones left in the BG, they still attacked!

Is there anyway to increase the amount of points in the BG points pool because that BG had loads of units in the force pool but because there were no points in the BG point pool only that depleted Zugtrupp could attack?!!

I will try to PM you the save game file in a sec.

Thanks

Received the PM. Thanks! Will check into the Zugtrupp team thing.

One way that I'm aware of to increase the BG points pool is to load the battle into the scenario editor. shift+click on the map diamond, for the map, on which the BG you want to edit resides. When the dialog comes up there's a window to the right of each BG. Enter the number of points you want to give that BG there.

Reminds me of CC3 original. Several times I watched the decimated remains of squads go berserk and run screaming at the enemy. First time i saw it I just sat back and laughed but there was also a sense of appreciation that original programmers were able to inject that much randomness into a computer game.
