Kristoffer:

So about how much time do we have to use our tartarians before they become hmm... less useful? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

Ah, I had almost forgotten about that one. Not sure. Depends on how much time the beta will need. A week or three. There is quite a lot to go through. Plus a week for us to apply fixes perhaps. So anything from 2-4 weeks I guess.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

Will that new tartarian thing apply only to newly summoned ones or to all? If to all it would be pretty destrutive to those that rely on kitted SCs in their wars.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

All I guess. But it will not be as if they are out of business. Just a chance that they do silly stuff at times, such as attend funeral or demolish temple.

Suddenly an arrow came flying out of the sky and pierced Important Mage through the heart! Speaking for him at the funeral was Biggun, the giant undead cyclops that was called from the depths of Tartarus just last month. "It was almost like I knew him!" Biggun wailed behind a teary eye as it proceeded to bite off the head from Important Mage's remains.

All this new content looks great, it really does.
Also, 2-4 weeks suits me quite well thank you very much, since I'll be on a one month PTO http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Seriously, I think this is boiling out to be the best patch ever! *hurrying to knock on wood*

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

Okay, so, my question: by adding 100+ units to the game, you are rapidly running out of buffer space for new unit descriptions. When are you going to raise that limit? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

The description limits were raised in 3.14, which was swiftly followed by 3.15 as an intermediate patch to fix the new scale bug that manifested after the first one was slain.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
 

There is only space for about 150 new spells, though... Depending on how many new spells the three new nations have, the spell limits might have to be raised somewhere near 3.33.
