The Vainglory of Grogheads - Pride of Nations PBEM AAR

[Tuna]

I don't understand this game at all.. in the beginning none of my merchants showed any wear and tear at all, and I thought something was wrong. Now they all turn red immediately in the trade boxes.. And bringing them home, none of them are repairing at all.. I don't know if a patch screwed something up or what, but you just can't get ahead in  this game!

Are you at war with anyone?  Have your merchant ships been upgraded to steam?  I think you need to be in range of a coaling station once you get bumped up to steam.

I'm not at war with anyone. It's not the supplies that are getting hit it's the ships themselves.. all the units are turning red.. i guess I should try and figure out if it's ships or men.  At one point they were getting fixed in port.. but now they do not seem to be. Replenishments page is confusing, because there really isn't a 'merchant' ships icon.. closest thing is transports and I don't think that helps (think it's more for troop transports).

They did fix the merchant ship bug in 1.02.  I wonder if it's come back with the new patch.

[Tuna]

Don't know, I didn't have the issue early game.. Reading the manual it does look like Transport replacements do it, even in the 'trade box'.. so I just tried getting more in my last turn.

I saw something about a Casus Belli between Sardinia and Austria.   Is that happening, balloon boy?

I have the CB I just need my garlic munching neighbour to back me up

[Tuna]

Can I fix my merchant problem first? War cost money!!!

[undercovergeek]

Lol of course - let me know when you're ready - my troops are still in Africa at mo anyway

[Tuna]

I'm not sure how it will start, do we have to do a treaty? I mean our current one only goes into affect if you are attacked correct?

[undercovergeek]

Good point - I'm sure with the current set of treaties you'll be offered a CB if I move

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I still have a defensive treaty with the cabbage eaters.  This could be....interesting.

In pre-Soviet Russia, cabbage eats cargo cults.
