I am not sure if this is a bug or simply a coincidence but the Komuch Fluvial Destroyer cannot be build anywhere. Maybe it could be in Saratov but I don't have sufficient loaylty ( it starts at some low-level).

Also, since I love those Cossacks stats I would need to ask, how hard is the penalty for those troops if they fight outside of there theather? I would specialized them as more elite-like unit unless they receive something like a 30% hit or something.

Cossacks? For now nothing. The ability isn't tied for now in FY with a area penalty, because the AI isn't aware of the penalty... I'm searching how to lower the penalty, but indeed the ability symbol is confusing.

I will look for Komuch Fluvial Destroyer.

Thanks

No bug for Komuch fluvial Destroyer. Working as intended in the official RUS after release. This unit may only be built in a harbour producing WSU. Komuch hasn't at Samara or Syzran such a location. Other cities are composing the Komuch recruit area, like Astrakahn, but only after been captured of course

New version released on my blog ( see my sig)

What's new?

-fixes the bug for Siberian American Tanks
- updates the Keke's files for weather ( thanks)
- controlling Tzaritsyn , Kazan, Perm, Saratov, Arzamas, Penza, Cheboksary, Tambov, Saransk, Samara. Each objective may earn 1 points per turn, with a probability of 10 and a max of 15 by objectives. These objectives will be marked with the Siberian flag on the map after turn 1:

Notes: this new system will give full bonus to Siberian players controlling for long these objectives, randomness being introduced to avoid gamey tactics and sudden rise in NM.

Changes in the rules booklet are in Green.

I was asking for the Cossacks since they have, if I am� correct, a better initiative/Discipline/(I forgot that one) then regular. It's not much but they come fully trained and those small bonus make them somewhat better fighter. Still, they are not Elite troops but to my experience, those stats affect the battle result more then it seem at first. Maybe considering the odds in RCW battles, this won't come out as strong as in BoAII or ROP or AACW but I am now willing to give it a try.

EDIT : Yet another question

. Does the Poles goes at war with the Reds as soon as they liberate? Do yo uget a message as the Whites of it, as I never had with the Southern Whites if my memory is correct. I am asking since they mobilizaed (partially) in my game, which makes me think they are at war but the game never specified that to me. I know this is superficial and not really a problem, I am just asking out of curiosity.

Poland enters war idf Red attacks them, or if Poland declares war from January 19. The probability of Polish war declaration is higher when Reds are at war with Balts, and in 1920 too.

For now, Poland gets a part of her Armies in 1919 , the rest in 1920.

I got that from the manual you wrote, my question was more toward the notification toward the War as I see somehow troops moving out of Poland's territory ( Ukraine, Minsk) but not in Reds mainland. Maybe I just missed the report on the war Declaration if there's one

. Yet again, I will make a savegame,zip toward the end of the year showing you my progress ( or regression

There seems to be some inconsistent text in the declare war on Balts option on the effect of not declaring war.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any cost to promising Balts independence.

Can the Reds promise independence on one turn, declare war on later turn?

I will check

The option costs 30 EPs. And yes, you may declare war as Red the turn after. Adding a delay would be possible, but I'm maybe wrongly inclined to consider Bolsheviks prone to break promises

It may be used ( not by the AI, but in PBEM) as a feint. Now, I'm open to remarks on that

I will look at notification indeed for WH3.

Minsk isn't at start Polish, and if Poland units are moving, so the war between Poland and Reds has occured

What's the best way to report on text strings for events in the message box? Do you need save files, or do you have a way to search for them in the logs or event files? Better yet, is there a way for me to search for them that will be more helpful for fixing them?

No. Just a screen showing a message or the text itself. For fixing by yourself, you have to open the LocalStrings_RED in the Settings folder. It's a csv file, so you may work with Excel or Openoffice. Most of my strings are at the end of the file, but not all. The search function is very helpful, of course. And save as CSV, of course

Recognizing Finnish independence didn't seem to work, as no EPs nor money were spent. No message either. I haven't tried the option ever before. Save and backup1 attached. Cheers!

This new version fixes a bug in Finland join option for Siberian, adds to the bottom left of the load screen the mention �Fatal Years� and changes the gfx icon used to identify Siberian Whites objectives giving more VPs ( see the booklet), this latter being in use only in ew game.

Compatible with ongoing games.
Available from my blog ( see my sig)

I assume you'd rather have me report the line where the problem is, if I can find it, or post a screen shot, rather than modify your file.

Absolutely not

If you want to do changes to the csv files, I will be glad to integrate them to FY

i've done a change lately in the last versions because the Southern Whites Armies weren't taken into account. I've added a line to raise the maximum number of Armies for Siberians after this unification ( I will have to change the csv file for�.

But i've not tested. And the command absorbfaction is new, so any bug report will be useful.

Anyway, it solves IMHO the Sib problem by giving to this faction a clear objective and a real reward for success

I am about to do the same in my game, I just need to crack the Tambov nut. That's a hard one ( 100 000 Reds versus 95 000 SibW), the good thing is that I can wait, Reds cannot. They have msot of there army in front of me so the other fronts are wide open

. I believe I just need to be patient and an opportunity will rise by itself.

Edit: Well I just lost 18 000 men and 9 000 for the Reds. It was a costly battle that I lost but that should bring victory in the end. They had to last one more turn defending a position that will surely fall while the rest of there enemies advance on there respective fronts. Still, I aim at Stal...Tzarytsin before the end of the year. I hate how I can't print my screens, stupid button just refuse to work I think.

Haven't been able to really continue yet, but I did a bit of reorganizing of the Southern Ws. A few observations about them:

- Several units are locked for no apparent reason
- No unit can go into a structure (clarification: when an unit is in the same region already, it cannot be put into the structure)
- No fleet can go into a harbour (clarification: a move order to a harbour is not accepted)
- AI had stacked partisans with regular units, slowing the formations down significantly (I separated them).

I hope these are just "first turn" glitches. Anyway, a save-file is worth more than thousand words...

Going to test. The absorbfaction command is used in PON and I'm not sure it has been heavily tested

. 2 and 3, if bugs, are beyond my control. 1 will be investigated. 4) is mine and should get a solution, but you have to know AI is unable to split units by taking into account their move speed. I know, it's a very good AI as regularly stated in the manuals...

Good news and one question.

Good news: naval units are yet Southern Whites. I've forgotten something in the command I guess.

There's another bug aboutArmy formation, but I know how to fix it.

IMHO there are no problem with land unit fixing: those for one turn are fixed by events about mutineries, those with 999 are garrison put outside the cities by the Structure bug.

The question is for the Structure bug. Going to check the commands more closely.

The good news: new version released on my blog ( see my sig)

The less good news: should solve the problems born from White unification, but I'm not sure. In any case, for the ones fulfilling the conditions, send me immediatly after the unification fired your current turn and the backup1 folder for study.
