Patch Release Information:

AGEod's American Civil War v1.07

Bugs

fixed: A rare crash could occurs when a structure was captured.
fixed: An Admiral, in a special circumstance could be irritated by having a general promoted before him.
fixed: An erroneous value in a text file prevented the new retreat algorithm to triggers properly.
fixed: Troops surrendering after a siege will give the right amount of VP, morale and prisoners.
fixed: wounded during battle where thrice as much as planed (resulting in a big increase of the conscript pool).
fixed: Spy network trait was not functionning properly.

User Interface

You will get a message telling you what you earn after a surrender.
The number of divisions being formed will be indicated in the tooltip button 'form a division'.
The promotion potential is indicated in the detail panel about a general. 'Yes' means he can be potentially promoted (given the fact he earns seniority). 'No' means he can never be promoted to a new rank (the database lock the promotion, on purpose).
New special order: Relocate Unit. It can be used up to 3 time a turn to relocate instantly a leader or an army HQ into another controled region (this order is still experimental, an option will be proposed to disable it)
New special order: No Bombardment. Prevents land units to bombard passing ships and to be bombarded by them.

AI

fixed: In some circumstances, the AI could have a stack locked erroneously.
fixed: In some circumstances, the AI would not use an army HQ to form an army, even if possible.
added: The AI uses the new relocate order to send army HQ efficiently.

Gameplay

Sea regions are now blockaded by counting the number of elements (in combat ships), not the number of units.
You can't bombard an harbor if the sea zone you are in is not an exit point of the said harbor.
You can now set the forts in such a way that they are sufficient to blockade an harbor (see modding section)
Captured units lose all their experience.
Destroying a depot destroy most of the regional supply.
Stacks now randomize every combat round their target among the list of enemy stacks attacking them. Will prevent the effect of having 2 corps A & B engaged against one single enemy stack, with A being severely damaged and B being intact (because it was targeted first by the enemy).
Relocate order created, see user interface.
No Bombardment order created, see user interface.
changed: Overcautious trait now works in a more subtle way. It can prevents the leader activation if he is in hostile territory.
added: there is now a hard limit to the number of hits inflicted against a land force by a fleet. The reverse exists too (see the modding section for the actual values)
