Revolution Under Siege Patch v.1.06 EU

Description
version: v.1.06 EU� Game Engine [updated to version 121011]Modification to rules for blocking crossing of a River region between two land region [via a crossing link]To block movement of enemy land forces across a River:� The River region must be Shallow water� Ships must be in Offensive [Orange] posture� 4 combat type ships will block movement of enemy land forcesLand unit bombardment of non-moving ships� Land artillery must meet the bombardment requirementsEntrenchment must be 3 or higher, range must be 6 or higherElements must be capable of selecting a Naval targetArmored Trains may not fire upon Naval Units� The leader [if any] of the land group must be active� The land force must activate the Special Order to bombard ships.� Once per turn, the qualifying land groups will then fire upon adjacent non-moving ships that are blocking crossingsAdded parameters to GameLogic.opt for Experience Points and Home Area Penalty/BonusConsolidated all Game Rules parameters [start with rulxxx] into GameRules.optYou can now disembark troops from a fleet trapped in ice.Siege improvementsBesieged forces will now take attrition hits every turn, in proportion of their number and how the siege roll went (anti over-crowding rule).In siege, the besieger will spend a quarter of his battle usage of ammos per turn of siege (plan to have supply trains on the long run), and will suffer -50% to his siege value if he can�t afford that. For the besieged, the spending will be 15% per turn, with a -35% siege value if there is a lack of ammos.Each breach will make the besieged consume an extra 5% of his normal supply usage. The purpose of this rule is that by upping the supply usage, you'll have more chances to have your supply depleted enough so that the depot (or supply wagon) can't provide its 'surrenderprotection' to the besieged force. For the rationale, just consider that the breaches are also making depots and stocks explode or be wasted, as you get shelled pretty heavily, etc...Fixed a bug where a lone sneaky leader could prevent a siege to happen, even if siege indicator was correctly shownFixed a display issue with the animated battle gauge where a leader portrait could appear erroneously.Leaders killed in battles while embedded in an unit (corps commander e.g) won�t cause recombination problems anymore.Exported and modified 6 variables for �Maritime Trade Box� warfare (a bit more damage against merchant ships)A too low cohesion can make a stack call off an assault, aggressive leaders will have a tendency to force the troops though.Fixed bug of a leader removed from his parent unit, corrupting the unit he is in.Regional decisions can�t be played anymore in region that are yet to be unlocked by the scenarioA retreating army can now split static units (abandon them) to escape betterCorrected display of Costs to Construct in the Element Detail window [thank you AJE team!]Added Overcrowding rule:The overcrowding rule exists to penalize (rather substantially) forces that are too numerous to defend adequately in-cityscape structures (mostly cities and forts). As with other rules, the engine is not prohibiting in 'a hard way' troops to be stationed en masse in a given structure, as it would pose very large problems to handle for the interface, then the AI. Instead, it follows the philosophy of 'you can do it, but that's notoptimal'...See Wiki article at: http://www.ageod.net/agewiki/Overcrowding_RuleLoyalty changes adjusted:When you add some loyalty, there will be (almost always) another faction picked to lose the same amount. If you remove some loyalty, then another faction will be automatically picked that will gain this same amount.The other faction that is changing its loyalty is never picked, as you may guess.The faction chosen will be picked randomly from the list of factions having already some loyalty in the region, the chance being weighted by their current loyalty (i.e if another faction has 20 points and a third one 10 points, then the second one have 2/3 chance to be the one picked, the third one 1/3 chance.)If no other faction exists, then the game will change toward NON = �non-Committed�, representing dissatisfied and uncommitted population.This change applies to everything, including scripting commands, decisions, abilities, etc.If you have suffered from the loyalty bug [inexplicable Loyalty for �obscure factions�], you can bring the console and type �CleanupLoyalty�. On next turn processing, odd loyalties will start to be removed. This will use the same logic as in the line before, only 100 times faster.Fixed the exploit where a newly built unit could be incorporated into a Division, whereby the cost to build was immediately refundedFixed a bug whereby a unit under siege could always escape from the region using a specific sequence of Movement orders, Passive posture, and Evasive Move Special Order settingsEnable Option to switch to 120DPI text for higher resolution displays See Main Menu � System Reduced the �Away from Home� movement malus for Militia and Irregulars� Setups [changes effective only in new games]Poland 1920corrected Polish 1st Tank Battalion to be faction POL, not WH3Grand Campaign, November 1919 and May 1919Advanced AutoGarrisons implemented for Forts, Redoubts, Depots and Naval BasesLarge cities in Russia and Ukraine will have loyalty change toward ANA rather than GRNAll setups recompiled with 121011 version of game engine[Continued on next page]� DatabaseCorrected duplicate Model Aliases for ldr_RED_Slaven1, ldr_RED_Dybenko1Corrected duplicate Unit Aliases for uni_BAL_Div1, uni_TUR_Hq1, uni_RED_Slaven1, uni_RED_Ivanov1, uni_RED_Dybenko1Fixed �Seaman� ability to actually give the move bonus as stated!Added Map Aleas, which cause random Storms at Sea, Storms, Sandstorms, and disease to strike forces at random.Many thanks to the AJE team for developing and debugging the new Map Alea system!Frequencies reduced to lessen the disruption to gameValues are adjusted to cause mostlly cohesion and supply lossesOnly Severe Disease [Influenza] can now actually �kill� an elementAll �Emplaced Guns� now have weight 999 [to prevent rail moves] and Capture Probability = 100Tachanka build time is now 30 days for all factionsAdjusted Regions assignments in Weather AreasPartisan activity can begin when the SR uprising occursSee Wiki: http://www.ageod.net/agewiki/Revolts_-_Advanced_ModeSiberian Whites Partisan Cavalry changed to use WH3 Raider [Partisan] cavalry modelFixed Regional Decisions Requistions and Conscriptions to pay the Loyalty costs stated in tooltips� EventsIce MarchFixed event where Kuban Army rises and takes control of Ekaterinodar [RED forces were not removed]Finnish Civil WarCorrected syntax error in AI eventAdded logic to German Intervention so that Finnish player is only penalized (-30 VP per turn) if German Land-based Combat elements are inthe Finnish Theater.

Not always day 1, so if you give a move command, the unit may move away before destruction occurs.� Units attempting to load land units onto ships and sail away [either in port or loading onto adjacent ships at sea] must have 'evasive move' set on if enemy troops are present in any form. Failure to set 'evasive' in presence of the enemy will abort the loading process, and ships will sail away without the units.� Modders note: Filenames of Models are changed to facilitate corrections to Localized Text.
