rhodes & ship movements

[kemozz]

after taking rhodes all my ships were destroyed and there movements were hugely reduced. i used to delete the map.rvw and everything would come back to normal. but that doesn't work anymore and my ships hardly move at all. is there a fix for this?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

It sounds like you had a flood in the sea territory. Floods will often break a territory and make the movement permentantly stunted (thus why they were mostly disabled). If this is the case, you are quite unlucky. There is no way to undo the flood bug, from my experience.

[Pharnakes]

Floods are off by default, yes?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yup. There's a special file which has been called "descr_disasters_floods.txt" for the sake of not interferring & being easy to find & being easy to see what it's for. The working file is descr_disasters.txt which has all specified locations for floods commented out (as opposed to the one with the _floods infix) and should therefore not generate any flood.

And since it would take a looong time to check that every coordinate that has been specified is not in the sea region we will probably not do this for EB 1.1.

so there is no work around for this? it takes two turns to go from sicily (libeo spelling) to africa (carthage)

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

If it is indeed the flood bug, then no. It is an unsolvable RTW bug.

If you build new ships are they still impacted? If not, disband them and then use the "create_unit" command to build replacements not impacted by the bug.

But are you sure you don't have a character on the ships? If the character has some sort of trait based unit penalty, that will effect the ships carrying him.

[Pharnakes]

ANything in the province will be affected.

[kemozz]

there are no characters on board and all my ships are impacted (all ships new or built suffer massive movement reduction) this used to happen and i fixed it before by deleting the map.rvw in world/maps but its not working this time. anyway thanks guyz
