AK: "Reconnaissance in Force" Objectives?

[fliegenderstaub]

Just installed AK and started with the first scenario.

Victory condition are changing throughout the scenario. Unfortunately the objective hexes are not shown. Victory conditions read "capture one objective" for a MV and "capture all objectives" for a DV. But the only objective hex marked is Bengasi. I captured every city and airfield except Tobruk and it's airfield. Result: MV. I assume that capturing Tobruk too will give a DV, right? But why are the victory hexes not shown on the map? (I attached a screenshot of the strategic map)

Is this a bug or did I miss something? Thanks in advance!

P.S.: First impression of AK is nevertheless very good. Gameplay feels much more different than PC or the DLCs. I am looking forward to "the rest"...

Something happened incorrectly with your game. You should not have to capture Tobruk for a DV.

Good news and bad news! Thank you!

I only modified the "equipment.pzeqp" and the "efx.pzdat" to include the HS123 and to add the recon move for cavalry and I added the appropriate graphics for the HS123. This shouldn't cause the mentioned problem, should it?

I wouldn't think so but I'm far from an expert on modding! My guess is somehow you did too well too early and didn't trigger the new objectives?

[fliegenderstaub]

Thank you for your quick response!

I don't think either its because of my humble modding of two files, but who knows...

Two or three times during the scenario I received messages that the objectives had changed. But on the map the objectives were never marked.

Finally I replayed the complete scenario and....

... now it worked!!! The objectives changed and were marked! And at last a DV like expected...

Don't know, what went wrong the first time! Sh.. happens!

I wonder if you went too fast the first time?

[fliegenderstaub]

Too fast? You mean "Blitzkrieg"?

But how do we find out?

I still have some saves (turn 2 to 7, turn 9 to 13).

Just loaded turn 2 and played it. At the beginning of turn 3 the objectives changed and they were marked on the map!

So, unfortunately no Blitzkrieg... Just one of those little surprises computer gamers have to live with...

Thanks anyway for your suggestions!

And what happens if you start save game saved after victory conditions have changed?

[fliegenderstaub]

And what happens if you start save game saved after victory conditions have changed?

Do you mean an old saved game, where the changed victory conditions were not shown on the map?

I have tried some of them, nothing has happened. Must have been a problem at the first change of the victory conditions. When I replayed turn 2 (see above) it worked like intended. If you are interested in the saves, I will upload them. Just tell me!

This issue happened to others too. It is related to loading a game from an Autosave.
Autosave saves game at the beginning of each turn, if victory conditions are changed at the beginning of that turn they are not going to be saved nor they are going to happen again after loading a game from Autosave made at that turn.
Using manually made saved games works fine. So advice would be to avoid loading a game from Autosaves for now how you progress trough campaign.

Very good job! That's what I call support! Thank you very much for that solution!

[Shrike]

Yes, it has to be said: I've never seen any other game being supported the way you guys from Lordz, Slitherine and any other party I may forget are doing. The way you interact with your customers is exemplary. To me, it's like there's just one big happy family enjoying the same game and making sure everyone can experience it for all it's worth. Big thumbs up to you guys!
