Blitzkrieg Norway scenario fix

[GabeKnight]

There's always been the missing green tick with the "Don't deploy tanks" objective, although the "rewards" are working fine otherwise; it's just cosmetical in nature.

The missing AI team setting of the fighter's still not fixed.

There's an explit/bug possible with the "Don't deploy tanks" objective (with more than two tanks), that causes the objective to not be checked "failed". Again it's just cosmetical, the campaign variable's set okay. This only happens if one deploys all three units at deployment stage directly on land (not with transports).

If you buy a new land unit, deploy it in naval transports, and sell this unit directly out of the naval screen, you get naval-CP refunded instead of land-CP (the RPs are refunded correctly).

This bug's also not fixed, yet.

I've fixed those triggers and the AI team settings and am currently play-testing. If all's well, I'll post the scen for download here.

EDIT: Yep. Two fighters appear, everything checks green and even the "connect oslo/trondheim" issue's fixed with "any event". Attached for those interested.

Thx Gabe . however I'm confused

You said that two fighters appear. are you talking about the allies or German fighters?

I was talking about the second Norwegian "Gladiator" fighter unit that was sitting idly in the hangar up until now, because of a faulty AI-team-assign trigger.

Perhaps it would be good to make a separate thread, where forum member's suggestions for solving various problems in the game would be collected...

Well alrighty then ...I did not know that there was a second Norwegian fighter...thx again for fixing the scenario, sir

When I corrected dates in Warsaw scn (instead of 2 days per 1 turn, there should be 2 turns per 1 day), it seems to me that the game is completely different now...
AI units behave differently, some are more aggressive now - for example, an armored train

[Horst]

I doubt the turns/day setting has anything to do with AI behavior. It rather depends on the player actions, but I've noticed at least one AI tweak during the past that made the AI more protective of flags:
I once created a AI-Cheater test-map where a single AI unit sitting on an own flag could detect in the fog-of-war that a player-flag was occupied or not. The AI only moved for capture if the player unit was moved away from there.
One year later, I tested the same map again, but the single AI unit didn't want to move away from its own flag anymore. I had to place a second AI unit to capture the unoccupied flag.
There could be AI changes over the years, but I doubt there are still many happening. I also don't compare every AI Team setting on old maps if some behaviors have changed over the years with updates.

And whether it can be a trigger set on the particular date? Then changing wrong date format could result in different behavior of AI ... (proper, consistent with the developers' assumptions)

True, and I can not say this with 100% certainty for Warsaw now, but it's usually not the case. AI orders, player/AI reinforcements and such are generally set up with turns, not dates. The only date-checks I've encountered so far were with pop-ups of histrorical events in the game.

For those interested, I've added the following bugs to the Bug-DB:

Blitzkrieg - Greece scen: Sec. obj. "destroy 20 Brits" should give 2 spec points reward, but only one is awarded
Blitzkrieg - Minsk scen: Sec. obj. "complete mission in 30 turns"/QuickVictory should give 2 spec points reward, but only one is awarded; very minor bug: no Minsk recapture trigger

[kondi754]

I confirm that there are 2 Norwegian Gladiators in this scn
Noticed old bug - when the airfield near Trondheim is occupied by aircraft, the units transported by Ju 52 unload onto water hex

This airport is really badly placed.
In Panzercorps,the airport is placed next to the city of Trondheim :

Værnes airfield is better placed in OOB than in PzC.
The distance between Trondheim and Værnes is about 16km.

This airport is really badly placed.

Geographically, maybe, but the extra challenge to pass the narrow road next to the bunker to enable a supply connection with the airfield always added to the great experience with this scen.

Up until all structures lost their ZOC that is - and can be bypassed and/or outflanked now without problems.

You are right, but this location is not convenient. The first time that I played this scenario, I had not even realized that it was an airport.
The localization in panzercorps is more practical.
I prefer to favor the playability to the historicity or to the reality.
