I can download the Windows patch all right, but not the Linux patch, so it must be a bad link.

(I'm surprised that nobody else noticed before me!)

Ah, so now my composite bowmen will be able to set their foes alight. *fwoosh* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Lovely. TC S&A was missing this before.

Kris & Johan,

Can we get some sort of clue as to what you mean by "improved spell AI"? What sort of behavior(s) it no longer does, or things it will now do that it didn't used to?

I am also curious as to what the significance is of now having GoH affect PD? (It seemed that before, once a battle was over, all the PD would miraculously heal all hits/wounds anyway.) Obviously I'm missing something here.

TIA.

Why have the description read Paralyze(2) when it's going to Last 25 turns ???
---shouldn't it be changed to Paralyze(25) so at least we'll have a clue of when the unit will wake up ??

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This is the only fix that really caught my eye. I too would really like to know the specifics here.

Arryn --
GoH not only heals afflictions, but also increases hit points within dominion -- up to doubling the original max hp.

NT Jedi,

Did you ever play AD&D? Paralyzation effects effectively Lasted the entire battle in that game and, if memory serves, often had to be countered by a remove paralysis spell or some such.

I don't view paralyze's Lasting the entire battle as objectionable and in fact like this as a counter to supercombatants. Everything ought to have a counter.

Damnit, I wish companies would host their own damn patches.... ;(
