patch 2.08 is out

[Zapmeister]

I'm not sure what what is meant by:

If both sides are fully routed ... they should both automatically rout ...

In any event, considerations of "realism" (whatever that means in a fantasy game) take a back seat to more pragmatic concerns, like ensuring that the hosting terminates.

The auto-die code is in there to ensure that no combat can get "stuck" for reasons involving Paralyze or other reasons not foreseen, and I for one don't particularly care whether or not it can be rationalized in game terms.

You can't change the Utgard theme. You can fix the Seithkona, but you can't fix the fact that they have a smouldercone AFAIK since you are unable to modify a theme, only the base nation.

I have a mod with fixed Seithkona, but either I am to dense to figure it out, or it isn't possible to just modify the Utgard theme.

I see. I was going to fix Seithkona, but I guess the problems run deeper... I'll wait around a bit. Hard for me to access a computer anyway.

But why auto-die and not auto-rout? Why not just end the battle with both sides having "fled the field" so to speak? That's how every other TBS I can think of where this situation is possible handles it.

Are you sure ? I mean that the problem seems to lie with the Utgard Seithkona UNIT, that should have an ID and be moddable independently of whether it's used in a theme or not .
Or does the bug lies elsewhere - ie the unit is fine but stg screw it when it's used by Utgard Jotunheim ?

I'm not sure I follow what your asking. I copied the files from the patch to the full dominions.app.

That sounds like the way to go. Could you do a
ls -l dominions2.app/Contents/Resources and a
ls -l dominions2.app/Contents/MacOS
and mail me the result to johan at illwinter.com.

On a side note: was something done to the archery AI? Since the 2.08 patch the archers "let go" of their assigned targets as soon as they rout to attack enemy archers and/or rearmost enemy.

For the life of me I think they didn't use to do that with such persistance prior 2.08.
On the other hand, maybe I did not pay that much attention to archers/xbowmen prior to the Last few games.

Anyway, if this is new, I really, really like it. If it's been there - and I was just blind, well, I'm sory to steal your time, guys.
