Clicking that does nothing, not even a sound.

Might be a bug. I've never tried to move units down the ranks, only up.

If their name is yellow it means they can be promoted. You could try promoting them out of first company to somewhere else, instead of transfer.

Don't you have to enable marine transfer in the settings?

Is there any way to blow up an awakened Necron Tomb? I can handle their ground forces if I send enough troops, but that's too much to be sneaky enough.

Orbitally bombard the planet? I doubt that will do it though, it'll probably just cling to the debris like a limpet.

Sorry Adwarf, I think you have misunderstood. I was describing games with necromunda style features -- not a direct digitiziation of necromunda its self, nor even necessarily a game set in the necromunda underhive nor even the 40K universe at all.

Those things would be bonuses though, for sure.  Yes, the new Mordheim thing looks pretty close, I'll have to get with propagating those guys geneseed

In any event, to the topic:  new version of Chapter Master:

Bugs:

Started a new game.  Fleet based, per usual.  This time, I selected to not have them loaded on ships initially.

- Started out in a system with two planets.  Recruiting world was the correct type (forge) but the name was wrong -- used one of the generic world names, Ando II in this case.

- Both worlds in the system were infested with Orks!

- On attacking the orks on my homeworld, it did not announce my forces and I was immediatly defeated with no casualties

- When loading my chapter up into the ships, it would occasionally not display the list of ships to load marines into.  I could get around this by finagling back and forth between menus, or by selecting a single marine to load and then going back to selecting groups


Good news:

- After loading into ships, I was able to raid properly

- The new Attack and Raid screens are GREAT improvements!

- Psyker powers are now working for me, thanks for the fix

- The Attack and Raid buttons are still missing on the first turn after loading a saved game

Odd:

- couldn't figure out how to sit on my throne like an egoist (requires a homeworld?) but I did manage to incarcerate and execute my chapter master.

Awesome Discovery:

- You can actually SELECT BY SQUADS by clicking on the colored bar.  Maybe this was mentioned somewhere previously, but this was the first I noticed it.

Girlinhat:

- Per Hetairos, you can enable this feature in Chapter Management.  Otherwise you can only transfer vehicles, tech marines, and librarians.  Even without them in one company, you can still transfer all your terminators and dreadnaughts to a specific ship, and then only raid with that ship.

The disadvantage to this is that your other marines will not gain experience so that you can promote them to terminators, but tactical dreadnought armor isnt cheap to get so that isnt a huge issue.

Under "Chapter Settings" you have to enable that, NOW I can transfer them between companies!

Wait, transfering them to different companies stops them gaining experience?

Oh, well I was mainly just going to load a few smaller ships with small companies and send them about to harass small tyranid invasions and whatnot.  Otherwise, why are some items in the arsenal yellow/unavailable?  Do I need to find them, or need better skill to produce them?

I doubt the =][= would have me deliver a bomb down there if it could be just blown up from the orbit.

I guess I should rather be asking for help with restoring disposition via Cheat Engine. I'm at -43, when do you get declared a heretic?

Reported that bug earlier. They should heal, but they'll do it very very slowly. Best bet is to take them back to your fortress monastery/battle barge. They seem to heal faster, although I don't know if that's due to the # of apothecaries stationed there or not.

Double checked.  My Dreadnoughts aren't 'healing' at all, though my others seemed to have regained to full.  So are there ever losses, or do they just sort of regenerate?

Most of those you'll purchase from other factions via diplomacy.  A few items may be artifacts.

On healing the critically wounded- try adding bionics.

Dreadnoughts IIRC require a Tech Marine present to heal, as they're considered vehicles.

They're definitely supposed to die. Other than slave-incubators, it's the only way to get new geneseed. There's just a bug where guys get killed so I hard I guess, they go negative and the game doesn't realize they should be dead.

Either that or their faith in the Emprah is so stronk not even death can turn them from their duty.

In that case, how do I get new units to add to my companies?  And is there a way to sell items?
