    Some more bugs/issues:

    Cannons move through walls on battle maps: I ordered my artillery to move, expecting them to take a dogleg round a wall, and to my surprise they moved straight through it - the troops climbed over, cannons moved through like they weren't there.

    Notifications appear twice: The beginning of turn notifications for agent recruitment, new ancillary etc. can appear twice. If you read them, then fight a battle, they reappear after the battle. Not a big problem, but can be confusing!

    Blank general card: I fought a battle where my generals unit card was completely blank. Again, not a huge problem, but a bug ne'ertheless.

    AI defending a siege: I was attacking a Buccaneer (sp?) region capital in the Windward Isles. A few of their units were garrisoned in buildings (and remained there while my artillery pounded them, destroying 90% of their strength), but one was just standing around in a random area just outside the city limits. I walked a unit of line infantry up and opened fire: the buccaneers stood there completely unresponsive facing the wrong way, until they'd lost so many men they routed...


    PS. Any idea where TW keeps screenshots?



    Diplomacy issues:

    Playing as GB on VH campaign mode...

    State gifts too effective:
    I was hostile with France (obviously), and so gave them a 2500 state gift. Immediately they went to friendly; on the mouse-over list of diplomatic stats, the gift appeared as +100. This seems excessive; the French are the Brits' biggest enemies and giving them the smallest state gift turned them into friends overnight. Not sure if the effect wears off quickly, but it seems a little too easy to make sworn enemies into friends.

    Power/wealth descriptions change too quickly:
    I've noticed that other nations, as well as my own, can go from 'terrifying' power to 'meagre' and vice versa in the space of a turn or two. Certainly in my case, that's a case of recruiting about 6 units. Not sure how the power ratings are calculated but they seem a bit sensitive, and therefore not particularly helpful

    As far as the trade post bug goes, it seems to occur any time you move anything other than your own trade ship out of a post leaving your trade ships behind. It's happened to me with an accompanying brig and also with a captured Pirate galleon, both of which returned to a friendly port for repair and refit. The remaining Indiamen become unusable and the local trade rout from that post disappears. The only response to the situation I have found is to scupper the fleet that is stuck. This opens up the post and any new fleet occupation revives the trade route. Interestingly, when you do scupper a fleet in this situation, the warning about disbanding your fleet does not pop up on any but the final unit.

    I have also, once, had an identical problem strike me with a small army of colonial infantry who occupied an enemy farm. The became stuck and I had, eventually, to disband them. Again, the warning box only popped up when I disbanded the final unit.

    3)
    I don't know if it's a bug or simply my imperfect understanding of the controls, but I seem unable to get troops to duck behind the defensive side of a wall in all but the most occasional battles. They always locate facing their own lines with their backs towards the enemy. Even when I do get one lot to duck on the correct side, the next section of wall always puts the next unit on the wong side.

    I got SLI to work and it trippled my frame rate but I had to use COD4's profile. But it made the game unplayable because of graphical issues and crashes. Man I hope CA or nVidia fixes this.

    Impressive. I have never seen this before and I am a military history freak.

    Im a yankee and love my country but these obscure British traditions, humor, and your Royals are just so intresting to me. While I know I was born in the wrong time period, I'm begining to think I was born in the wrong country as well.

    I have all the morality of a drunk eight-year-old and the self-awareness of a cold bag of ham, but in my occasional windows of clarity, even I'm cognizant of the fact that I am the last person on the planet who should have access to unstoppable mental powers. -Dan O' Brian @ Cracked.com
