***************************************************************************
************************** **************
===========================================================================
========================== ==============
Note: Under some conditions, Depot Build may consume partial strength supply units.
To be safe, separate the two supply units [must have 4 elements each and be >50% strength] for depot build command
================================================== ================================================== ==============
Note: ‘Supply Filter’ colors are now:
Green = Net Supply supply above demand
Orange = Net supply available = 0
Red = Net Supply in deficit to demand
================================================== ================================================== ==============
************************************************** ************************************************** **************
Note:
Units attempting to load land units onto ships and sail away [either in port or loading onto adjacent ships at sea] must have ‘evasive move’ set on if enemy troops are present in any form. Failure to set ‘evasive’ in presence of the enemy will abort the loading process, and ships will sail away without the units.
