Status: offline 		How does the AI decide wich BG gets naval support (all on naval supported maps)?

A while back i've seen a post about this subject in the matrix forums but after a lot of searching i can't find it anymore.

Status: offline 		AI Naval support assignment is very simple -- it's designed for a campaign where there are only a few choices for where naval support is possible on any given turn. It's done by checking all the battle groups in the operation/campaign for those that can possibly receive naval support, with priority given to BGs with an 'attack' order.

A unit can receive naval support if:
- It's not moving and the current map allows naval support OR it is moving and the destination map allows naval support.
- It is in full supply OR the battle group has the 'organic heavy artillery' flag set in formations.txt.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the clarification.

I tried to allocate naval support to all 64 maps.
But there seems to be a 59 map limit.

Status: offline 		Wouldn't setting the 'organic heavy artillery' flag for all formations in formations.txt have the same effect as assigning naval support to all maps?

Status: offline 		In Maps/Stratmap.txt you need to change the first entry for naval support maps to 64 (in the stock game it is 59) -- this is the count of how many naval support map indexes follow -- and then follow this with 0-64 to cover all the maps.

Status: offline 		Even if the formation has 'organic heavy artillery' set to true they still can't use it on maps that aren't flagged for naval support. In my previous post I should have put a 'AND' between the two lines of conditions to make the logic clear.

Don't you mean 0-63?

That's exactly what i did (first entry 64 then the count 0->63)but i get an error message when opening the exe, see attachment.

When i start to remove maps one by one it only works again with 59 maps.

Status: offline 		Yeah, you need to input the screen coordinates for the scenario editor screen too. You must increase the coordinate entries to 64 as well.
