Military Rank XP bug

[Lobsterkuln]

Hello,

After taking Drezen on my second playthrough I find that I am not gaining Military Rank experience by recruiting units from Drezen. Loading a different character in my first playthrough I recruit units in Drezen and Military Rank experience is increasing.

Anyone encountered this bug or know a work-around for it? Is there a period after the taking of Drezen where this does not increase? Still at Military Rank 1 with 0 XP and I've been recruiting units and fighting armies.

There is no work around for it for now, except changing your save file. A patch should come today or tomorrow to fix it apparently.

Known bug. Fix announced for today (1.0.5).

Awesome, thanks for the replies. Putting my run on hold then while I wait for the fix.

You can "fix" it through toybox but yeah I think its about to be fixed

No, you can't "fix" it through toybox as the whole mode is misbehaving and you don't know what exact variables are needed to change in order to not break something yourself as devs did not disclose any details.

I personally suggest Nelartux advice to adjust the save file in the most possible safe way. Only changing the relevant affected stats. On Nexusmod there is a save game editor I just used for that.

Reason: if you beaten already enemy armies there might be no official fix to get you the exp you missed. But putting the run on hold for a few hours might be the safest way to do so...

I have been checking Toybox for that, but could not find any relevant option to change the values of the crusade. Could you give me a hint about where to look for it or what I have might missed?

You can begin the rank up event ( meeting in the citadel) . There was a post on reddit suggesting it in detail and it was said to help a lot of people.

The only variable " missing " is that " trigger" . If you have enough exp and the rank up is not happening it is fairly simple

Ofc that only applies for rank ups until rank 5.

Yes give me a sec to find the reddit post . I will edit this reply when I find it

That said if they said they will fix it today it is not worth the risk

[Nelartux]

Isn't the military rank linked to army's growth / overall power and leadership linked to victory and general XP ? If that's the case, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get back to once it's fixed. (Leadership is generals, logistic is constructions, diplomacy is resources generation and military is army power.)

Can confirm, the issue will be fixed today, a patch will go live in a matter of hours.

Thank you for your efforts. I was confused for a moment here, since I thought it is easy to find in ToyBox. But I too did the savegame edit instead of using ToyBox for that specific bug.

I do not think it (changing the values) will break anything, since it is a simple independant value.

Yes, and no. The issue I see are the values you are supposed to get early on in the game by beating enemy armies. If you go to the act where the crusade "is put on hold" because you are in a different dimension, without the fix, you cannot regain the values you are supposed to gain before that act. Making it impossible to reach high stats by normal means.

Or with a simple analogy: if you do not get exp for beating 100 enemies because the fix is missing, you will later on notice you missed the exp for beating 100 enemies because of the bug. The game might be still doable, but you might not reach rank x or y because of the issue.

Good, enough time to clean the floors, wash the dishes... Dig a new well. :)

When its not bugged, Military XP is gained by recruting non-mercenary units. Diplomacy XP is from recruiting mercenaries and Leadership is from your generals gaining experience. I find that defeating all the static demon armies in Act 3 will always give enough to reach Rank 5 Leadership.

True but dev posted above and said it will be fixed in a few hours so I would still advise to wait for that just in case to be honest.

Oh yeah, it would be an issue if you are in between crusade phases ( although it auto level up and adjust values to rank 5 once you come back.) I thought the military wasn't related to victories so there wouldn't be any missing xp, but maybe I'm wrong.
