Problems w Byss

[Robby Mac]

I just started playing the Art of War campaign. The NR took control of Byss. I won the space battle over Byss, then tried to conduct a land battle. After destroying all the turbolasers, the session didn't end. I sent all my units to every far corner of the battle, and couldn't find any enemy units anywhere. After trying and trying and trying to find who's left, I have up and tried to autoresolve. It wouldn't let me autoresolve; there was the option to click on it, but when I did, nothing happened. So I reloaded the game, and tried to autoresolve the battle from the beginning. No matter how many units I had, I would lose the battle.

How to I conquer Byss?

Sometimes I've had that happen to me. I've found retreating from ground and then reattacking often does the trick. Generally the second attack cleans up whatever's keeping the AI from losing control of the planet (a lot of times it has another set of Turbolaser Towers there somehow).

this is actually not the map's fault, but the game engine's.
But what Revan said does work.
Basicly since there is no enemy units left, when you attack the second time you just conquer the world since there is nothing to defend it

I'll take a look at it and see if the game is letting people build more structures than the map has slots for.

I can never auto resolve on those planets for the Ai builds 3 tuorbolasers and counts them against me.
That may explain why he cant conquer the planet. The AI just ignores the limit on turbolaser towers.

More specifics about what's happening:

The game starts off with the planet empty I think. I'm playing as IR.  The NR quickly moves in to take control of the planet. When I try to battle them on the planet, any efforts to autoresolve result in me losing the battle. When I try to play the battle, the only enemy units I can find are turbolaser towers and a power generator. No enemy ground units. And the autoresolve button is not highlighted; so I'm "stuck" in battle mode. The only way to get out is to quit the game.

Does this have something to do with Byss being locked at the beginning? I saw something about that in the XML file Story_Sandbox_56_Empire.
