No Missions

Realized Pontos has missions implemented. I didn't get them.

Uninstalled EBII. Reinstalled EBII 2.2b. Did mandatory W10 instructions. Did the steam instructions. Checked M2TW preferences, checked EBII.cfg, no problems. Game not installed in program files. UAC is off. No antivirus. Ran the game, started campaign, end turn, quit. Installed 2.2e. Installed animation fix.

Started Pontos campaign. No missions. End turn. No missions. End 5th turn, no missions.

I get the "no interface" pop up on the first turn. I get winter recruitment when it is winter. I have the choose successor script the first turn. I have the history pop up about the year. Why don't I get any missions? My M2TW is already a fresh install.

Is there anything I can do about this at all?

Have you recruited any units? You have to recruit 11+ units before the first mission is triggered, and they're a chain starting from first to last. There's no turn-counter on it at all.

Also, Sinope has to be independent to get the first mission.

Just confirmed the first mission working. Guess I never recruited 11 units until Sinope lost its independence before. However I got the mission twice (forgot to blockade Sinope docks after naval victory, FL couldn't reach and siege Sinope in time so pressed end turn and the same mission popped up with a new Ptolemoi navy).

Used auto win command to win the siege but didn't get any notification like mission success. I take it as autoresolves don't count?

Thanks for the tip on the mission!

Autoresolves often don't count for reform triggers. They require battlemap exports to work properly, so you have to play it out the painful way.
