Beware of this patch if you play Jotunheim. The Seithkonas are no longer commanders, and have no magic paths! I've posted this as a bug ...

I can't believe they broke an entire theme like this. Be on the lookout for similar bugs in other themes ...

Are you using any mods for Jotunheim? I only ask because I know you're using the Ashikaga mod and thought maybe you had modded Jotun too. It's possible that the patch breaks a particular mod rather than the core stuff.

On the other hand, if you're not using any Jotun mods...then that's a bug they'll want to fix quickly.

A comma and a zero has sneaked into the utgård stats causing several problems for the theme. Some of the problems can be fixed by a mod, but ongoing games might suffer.

They get a smouldercone!
They get mooses!

Bah

Like my popular AAR, which is dead without an official fix. poo

But I did my job in reporting the problem, and I'll trust IW to deal with it. It won't help me (or anyone else) to pester them about getting a patch for the patch. heh

Bah

I saw them big mooseys. At first I mistook it for a two-hump camel and thought "what in the hell?"

By the way, if anyone knows how the new commander rename functionality works, please let me know.

Other than the rather pesky bug I found , this patch looks to be great!

Strictly speaking, you can make a 2.06 installation and play your AAR game finished under the old patch level. Nobody forces you to play that AAR game with the most recent patch. Dead? Only if you choose so, which I hope not.

Heck, in Europa Universalis II, I currently have 1.06, 1.07, and 1.07 beta Versions installed due to different ongoing AARs that I want to complete under the conditions I started them in.

In Dom I it was done hitting 'R' key while in the unit stats screen. Try that.

You can only rename if renaming was enabled in the setup.

On the same Windows machine?

Presuming that Dom doesn't write to the Windows registry in a fashion that precludes multiple copies in different directories, installing a 2.06 Version is an option. But I'm not going to go to that bother unless I know that (1.) IW isn't going to fix it today, and (2.) that I can have more than one Dom installed on the same XP machine.

EDIT: close examination of the XP registry shows that installing a second Version in a separate directory may break the ability to uninstall (or perhaps even to run) the first-installed copy. Until I get definite confirmation from someone that you can have two copies of Dom installed on the same XP machine, and that they both operate flawlessly, this is not something that I'll be doing.
