83) FIXED IN 1.02: Army Upgrades Missing after Load

Army Upgrades Missing after Load

It seems that weapon/armour upgrades disappear after loading a game on regiments mobilized prior to saving.

Also mercenaries seem woefully under-teched - in keeping with their high cost they should be high-tech. Hiring a bunch of Claymore fellows and then discover that they have tribal swords is a bit naff.

Hum, hum... o

This is known from betas, Tech level is presently not saved...

On reload, any units on the map has tech 0 everywhere...

It is the most major bug I know apart from CTDs...

You have to disband all your unit and recall your host to get the tech level right, which of course, will not be the case for mercenaries.

The problem is that the AI is, of course, not aware of the bug, so it's a major exploit:
1 - Declare war against muslims.
2 - Let them mobilise their troops.
3 - Save your game.
4 - Exit & Reload
5 - Mobilise your host

You will be able to trash the muslims across the whole map like a breeze, even if you have only 2 in tech: Their overpowered army are suddenly peasants armed with forks...

Hey Cat ,
perhaps you and/or the other betas have the time to make a known bug list.
This would help not to post bugs that are already known!

I think this would be against our NDA I am afraid...
