Militia Call Bug/Problem/WAD? - 10/14/2013 12:49:35 AM

Status: offline 		It's Early April 1862 in the Grand Campaign, playing the Union, and I have 1300+ volunteers in the Union Army's pool, and another 300+ are being added every 1/2 month turn after the last Militia Call was chosen. Whereas with previous Militia calls there was only the one boost, once, followed by the usual small amount (30-40 or so) of odds and sods.

The Militia are being paid no bonuses for enlistment, so it's not actually costing me anything to have all these useless people standing around waiting for my budget to stretch to uniforms (which it can't possibly ever do, I'd guess) ...

I understand this was a bug with the FIRST Militia Call in the initial release of the game, but this is the THIRD ... unless I am supposed to be getting 300+ volunteers per half month?

Note: I have installed, and it is shown as active, what was then the latest pre-release update fix (hence the fact that this didn't occur with the first Militia Call!) RC3, and have now installed RC4 ... but that would presumably not fix the game I was playing even if it did fix what seems to be a bug ... and it doesn't mention this issue in the list of problems its meant to solve.

Is this WAD or a bug?

I've asked basically the same question on the AGEOD forums and lots of people have looked, but no response so far.

Anyone know?

Phil

Status: offline 		Ah. No. It occurred under RC3 ... I thought that it had been cleared up in RC1/2. It doesn't actually say, as far as I can see, that it is fixed in RC4 ... but, assuming it is, I assume that the existing save game series is now useless and I need to start another one under RC4 from scratch.

Oh well, easy come, easy start a new game

Assuming someone can confirm that this a) IS a bug and b) HAS been fixed by RC4, since this would be the *FOURTH* Grand Campaign Scenario I have had to abandon because of assorted bugs

I'm very close to 100% sure that you can't have the bug of being charged regularly for conscripts, with them coming regularly without you doing nothing, if you start a game in RC3 and RC4. The whole logic of these historical options has been redone from scratch in fact.

They're far from useless. They're great garrison troops if you wish to not train them. Send them to the same town as a training office. I keep McClellan in Cinncy, send Halleck to New York, and Sickles takes over New York and I send Halleck back to St Louis. Training takes one turn for two units. Once this is done, they're the same as regulars. They make up the bulk of my armies, and are wonderful.

Status: offline 		Sorry, you don't understand ... they're in the POOL, they're NOT in Regiments.

That is, they're in the POOL box up the top with the RAIL Pool and the RIVERINE Pool and the WAR SUPPLY Pool ... so, in effect, they might as well not exist, since there are far more of them, as I noted, that I can actually provide uniforms and guns for ...

This was under RC3 and, supposedly/hopefully, RC4 has 'fixed' the problem ... since I've started four Grand Campaigns so far and had to can all of them because of bugs, I'm wondering whether there is any point in starting another.

I KNOW that AGEOD will eventually nail them all down, they have done so for all of the games of theirs that I have (ever since AACW 1), and I can play them all now with no real bugs ... so I may just have to wait and replay some of the older titles till I can be reasonably sure there's a point in starting a new game for CW2.

Recruits are now a serious limitation for either side, as they should be
