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.

Game setup? Okay, thanks Kris for the prompt answer. Useful to know. Too bad that won't help in the half-dozen SP games I've already got.

Very nicely done! Hard to play due to the combination of forced sloth and high resource cost, but looks fun.

Does this include Paralyze?
