ndrose -> RE: minor fleet use (6/13/2010 11:26:47 PM)

Playing around with this a bit more, I started a fresh game to see whether maybe something that happened in the previous game created the problem, but it's still happening. Some observations: Set up all French and Dutch fleets at Toulon. First GB sent a small blockading fleet. (This part of the AI still needs some work.) Jan 1805 French and Dutch fleets break out. Dutch fleets able to participate in battle. Jan 1805 combined fleet proceeds to Gibraltar, attacks GB fleet in port (ungarrisoned--that needs tweaking too). Dutch fleets participate. So far so good. Feb 1805 combined fleet (stacking properly) sails to the Channel, attacks small GB squadron. Only French fleets participate. I tried replaying the turn differently: Feb 1805 French fleets remain at Gibraltar, Dutch fleets sail to Channel. GB moves to intercept. Interestingly, GB is able to intercept the Dutch fleet in the Atlantic, but only stops its movement--no battle. So, I try initiating battle myself, get the usual "attacking all GB fleets", and then up pops that weird error message: something like "cannot create sea battle MSMAP!" All in all, consistent with what I found before: minor fleets are usable in port combats, but not on the open sea. The next step is to see whether the problem might be confined to France, or is across the board....
