from patch notes:
Roc ate too many elephants.

Ya know - I always hated it when that happened!

uhh, you probably don't want to install the patch until you are sure that your games are going to be doing so immediately boron...

This time it doesn't matter much if you use the wrong Version. Battle replays will be incorrect, but everything else will work when you mix Version 2.12 and 2.13.

What is the "Great Warlock" - a pretender? If so, for who?

>> Basic Magic Item modding implemented.

How do I use this?
Modding.pdf doesn't say anything about it.

Wow, I was just going to make a post asking for something similar. Thanks for being a mindreader!

I've never been able to make commander scrolling hotkeys do anything visible - what screen do I use it on and what does it do?

Psitticine [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon39.gif[/img] (who edited the manual) is working on updating the modding manual. It will hopefully be finished soon.

If I understood correctly it is the scrolling of visible commanders in map view if you have more than 28 commanders in a province. If so, it's a very joy-joy thing to change, was getting frustrated with provinces harboring 40+ mages.

Hm... One thing not in the patch that I was hoping to see. The game still does not seem to keep track of exactly how many resources are available when you partially built a guy on the previous turn. Looks like you still have to keep track of this manually...

But there sure were some nice improvements in this patch. The greyed out thing when you are under seige is nice and this will no longer confuse the heck out of the newbies!

I also agree about the burning pearl. It was much too strong for the price. It is still stong, of course, and will still be built anyway. But, Arch, feel free to send your excess pearls to me!

that would be a great one for 2.14!

Eh... is the linux patch borked? The patch didn't seem to work, giving med the 2.12 Version again, as far as I could determine. So I unpacked patch 2.12 and 2.13 in separate dirs, which I ingeniusly called 212 and 213, and ran diff:
Code:

---

esben@musvit dtmp $ diff -ru 212 213

Only in 213: army4.trs

Only in 212/doc: modding.pdf

---

Not to complain, but I think this can't be right... except for these 2 new files, the patches are identical(!)
