Fix for admirals gaining command stars

[barocca]

my most common cause of campaign hang-ups and CTD's is the fort destination bug,
(now i know about it i have had no more CTD's)
where if an army is targeted to attack a fort over multiple turns the game crashes at end of turn cycle, (when the ai factions are making their moves)

make sure none of your armies are attacking forts they cannot reach in one turn,
best to have them "targetted" to move next to the fort and attack the next turn.

cheers,
B.

I didnt want to continue this threadjack, so I continued my comments about this in the bug thread.

My VH (strat) campaign is turning into a bit of a disaster with this mod. I havent won more than one or two naval battles (at great loss of men) since the game start, but to make it worse the AI now has swarms of 5 star navies everywhere!

Here's some strategies that worked for me...

- Build up fleets inside your ports before sending them out to do battle, aiming to take on single enemy ships where possible.
- Until you achieve parity always try to end the turn in port too.
- Retrain every time in port to keep your ships at full strength.
- Move in short steps so that you don't find yourself running into an enemy fleet that was previously out of sight.
- Don't just attack the enemy fleets, take down their bases too. Send assassins to sabotage ship building facilities or even invade the settlement. If you can't hold it, destroy everything & then leave it to revolt.

My strategy has been to simply avoid building a navy (which is a pity since it was fun, but not much of a challenge, on easier levels) and to conquer the Greek Cities by marching the Brutiii legions overland. :)

I was just about to change the .txt file, when I noticed that the landlubber part was already done. Now, I'm pretty sure I didn't already do that , so I guess that has to be fixed by the 1.1 patch. But what exactly was "fixed" then?
