1799 will never be the same

[Paddy]

yeah well get some of ya peace loven' cossacks down here pronto

help contain these raging spainards

[Mickeyj]

Unfortunatly the cossacks are all at the pub having a few vodkas, they’ll be in no possition to fight, besides there’s always the old russian adage – don’t drink and ride

[Paddy]

that be a shame

well I still look forward to your diplomats arriving soon with the alliance documentation

maybe, just hopefully with such a document, then the Spainish may atleast acknowledge my envoy, thus allow peace to reign again

[Shogun Gunner]

Save to Andy.

I believe the Spanish blood is firey...it's possible their bravado has led to conflict with the French. Impossible to know without boots on the ground. Are you asking for assistance, King Paddy?

[Paddy]

In deed Lord of the British

I have a highly volitile situation here

Please unleash your mighty redcoats to Spain on the next tide

an official alliance would be gratefully accepted

it just may be what I need to bring these savage Spainards to the diplomatic table

[Andydog]

The Ottomans offer their hand in containing these "raging spainards". We would be willing to send over a strike force of Siphai to help drive them back from where they came from.

[Paddy]

Thank you Gracious Lord of the Ottomen

How soon will you ships embark on this worthy journey?

Will you also be sending formal alliance papers by fast desptach rider?

[Mickeyj]

Turn Away

ok my error

It has come to light that the Bombard feature is not operational in this scenario

yet it is working in the following napoleonic scenario that I started this last week - Diplomacy Game

so the question is do we restart (we are only in the 1st year) or carry on without this fantastic feature???

It doesn't work in that other game, actually. I'm playing England there, so I should know . The scenario has modified ships - they can't bombard at all.

The bombard button is something that shows up only in MP, it seems. It is not functional, though. I just double checked, by trying to bomb something with a Man-O-War - it wouldn't happen (red cursor everywhere). The only effect I got was after several repeated clicks - bombarding the ship's own square, with no effect but losing a movement point. Just don't use the button and you'll be fine.

[Paddy]

ouch

that is quite a shame

back to the drawing boards for me

[Modo44]

You mean it was supposed to work? You mean you really wanted to have bombarding Privateers?

Well, you seem to have forgotten to add bombard values to the ships. They are still zero, as the Civilopedia shows (it reads the actual values from the save, so there's no mistake there).

[Paddy]

ahhh no Privateers are not to be able to bombard

yet frigates, man-o-war and ships of the line are supposed to be able to in these modified scenarios

that was one of the goals

[Shogun Gunner]

i can tell you that my man-o-wars CANNOT bombard

[Paddy]

that is right

in this one I have also proven that they do not work

that is why I asked before...
