wrong indicated amounts of conscripts
« on: January 23, 2010, 12:13:52 AM »
Hi. I'm sorry to bring this up in the general chat. I made a post about it in "bugs" but had no feedback at all.

The thing is that when I produce a group of conscripts the number for how many guys are in the groups says 0/0 instead of 8/8 as it should. It doesnt change when you get casualties in the group and the number of guys decrease.

The same goes for the repair guys. It just says 1/1 instead of 4/4 as it should.

Am I the only one having this issue?

This is due to the Ingenery taking up 1 pop for each squad and the Conscripts taking up 0 pop.

Oh, so that is what the figures are meant...but why Conscripts take zero pop? I mean they are still 8 men right? Could lead to spamming since popless. What do you think?

Conscripts are pretty weak, they should only be worth population after they get the upgrade.

Great job with this mod... I cannot believe that you made it for free. I really enjoy it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Stormtroopers take 8 popcap, but are still only 4 men?

This glitch only occurs when a unit is less than one pop.

Once upgraded, the only squad member who gets counted as pop is the Commisar.

Needs a little more pop w/ upgrade.

Well to Stalin, the only guy who actually mattered to Stalin was the one in charge of makig sure they didn't retreat, the Commissar. So it does make sense.
