Re: Oceanians still poor amphibs on land under 3.0
Why did you think it would be?
Johan is doing better at note taking but still tends to do some things and forget to write them down. But unless one of the devs commented in a post then I wouldnt expect something to show up in a patch. Many of the "bugs" and "broken" items Ive seen posted didnt strike me as things that would be agreed on and worked on

Because it is quite obviously broken. A capricorn that sneaks onto an enemy land province loses the ability to move out of that province. If you touch his orders at all, it changes from hide to defend, and he attacks the province without you being able to change it back.

Re: Oceanians still poor amphibs on land under 3.0
Yeah - essentially the entire nation is bloody broken and unplayable. You'd think that warranted a fix.

Re: Oceanians still poor amphibs on land under 3.0
I know it's merely a workaround and shouldn't be needed, but can't you just CTRL-move without sneaking ?

Thats why I asked.
Is that due to poor amphib?

Re: Oceanians still poor amphibs on land under 3.0
Play the nation IMO. It is beyond broken. These "so called" bugs are real bugs, such as the not being able to move certain commanders that are hidden in a coastal province. And the balance issues are very real as well.
Let me restate what I said in the bug thread, I don't mean "I don't want to move the guy because he will get attacked". I mean the game does not allow you to move the guy, sometimes it glitches and switches the unit to "Defend" when you click on him, with no way to set it back to hide, sometimes you are able to set it back to hide by randomly clicking him and clicking all over the place.
Either way, I know alot of non-oceania players are viewing this externally and thinking these bug reports are just whines, but honestly, this nation is not that superhot in the water, and they are beyond horrible on land. Atleast in my MA experience of playing them multiplayer and singleplayer.
I don't think this nation was ever playtested, or if it was, wow GG.
Let me go ahead and address the scissors, rocks, paper stuff that is sure to follow this post. The people complaining about Helheim/Vanheim are not crybabies, they are doing so because there are real balance issues with those nations. I did not post in that thread mind you, but I have watched you guys dismiss their claims as them being new to the game and not understanding the nuances.
Well it is the same deal here, except this nation is at the bottom rung, and may not receive attention in an official balance patch becauce veteran players don't play the nation, yet dismiss the glitches and unbalances publicly in threads.

Re: Oceanians still poor amphibs on land under 3.0
Yes, they are buggy. I will be addressing them, or if people would rather have a quickfix mod to do a quick replace, I could cobble one together, or PDF is also very good at those.
