so you think if I install this DLC will be available another unit? (4 in total) and in the version that I have there are only 3. That's it?
The insistence sorry, but I'm not as advanced player...

No

You are mixing two topics. You asked a question about Buzinovka Depot scenario - you thought there should be 4 capturable units and you "only" got 3. I explained why this probably correct. And my second suspicion was right - there is only ONE SU-122 to be captured (I've just checked the scenario file).

The second thing is "The Captured Units Database" thread (this particular one). It doesn't include capturable units from Sea Lion DLC yet and this has nothing to do with your question.

Hope this clears things up

Oh my friend, I was very foolish, sorry. Now, finally, I understood!
Thank you for your patience in helping me!

No problem

In case people wonder, there are capturable units present in US Corps. Happy hunting

Is there an update for the Soviet Corps of the units list ?

Or has it been posted elsewhere already ?

Iscaran

Fantastic thread! Thanks.

Is there an update to the list with Soviet Corps and US Corps units ?

US Corps look here: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 21&t=72588

Yes I'm with Iscaran, any full list of the Soviet Corps capturables, "earnables", and any special heroes? Thank you!

I just finished the Syracuse scenario - got a DV around turn 8. But I only got the 12.8cm flak reinforcement... no Josef Priller (FW-190)? Was he taken out or something.

I think you may have finished too quickly as I got him in my playthrough

I see... you don't remember roughly what turn you ended? I was in a hurry to end haha getting overwhelmed lol. most of the other special heroes arrive turn 2 or 3 so I assumed he got removed or something @ Priller. Actually tried reloading and played to turn 15 - still no Priller

I have it in my notes at home I will try and check this weekend and report back here

How to capture units ?

MY Joseph Priller showed up Turn 2 so think it is just a given unit and something may be wrong with your version

Both Priller and the AA/AT unit are scripted to arrive at the beginning of turn 2. Should be in hexes 19,1 & 19,2, respectively.

As far as I remember captured unit is just a scripted event in some scenarios.
For this event to happen you have to capture some particular (additional) cities or complete an additional objective.
You can also get special heroes this way.

The usual method to trigger a captured unit is take an objective (capture a hex, put a unit in a particular zone), but in US Corps you can get them for destroying specific enemy units and in Sealion I think you can capture a Matilda 2 by surrounding it with 3 or more units. These kind of triggers are widely used because they are reasonably easy to script - check for flags or units in a particular zone or hex.

When writing your own scenarios you should be able to use any trigger you like to place a captured unit, but it can be more work.
So for example, to recover battle damaged enemy tanks for your own use, set a trigger for no enemy tanks in Zone 1, place a special unit named "recovery team"in the zone for three turns in a row while keeping it clear of tanks. Then you award the captured unit or units.
I usually only do these more complex ones when I have a working script from a scenario as a guide.

Isnt this thread worth to be added to the stickies ?
