Generals and Commands query

[ahuyton]

This is perhaps a misunderstanding on my part, but since the AoB expansion I notice an odd phenomenon when setting-up commands at deployment.

When I assign an unallocated general to a unit previously part of another command, that unit receives the general's standard but remains part of the former command. So effectively I have one command with two generals. Previously it would have become a single unit command to which I could then reassign units.

It's not so important but a bit odd. But perhaps I have missed something, and if my apologies in advance.

+1 I've noticed this also.

Strange. I am unable to reproduce this. It seem to be working normally when I test it, and the code for adding generals has not changed.

What sort of battle was it?

Of course if you move your C-in-C to a unit of another command it does not change the unit's command. Could that be what happened?

[rbodleyscott]

Looking at the code, this could happen if there are no empty teams (commands). The engine only allows 8 teams, so if all 8 of these already have units, then the unit's team won't change when the general is added.

However, I am struggling to see how, if you already have 8 teams, you have not already been assigned 4 generals.

I am honestly not sure so with this helpful info will try to work out what is going on. I suspect it is the CinC move that you mention, as I had not realised this. Thanks.

I have seen that C-in-C reassignment behaviour happen before.

That is WAD.

Welcome to Field of Glory 2!

WAD is an abbreviation for "working as designed", in other words, there is nothing wrong
