Great Patch? I'm wondering what drugs you're on.

Hey, they made the Hall of Fame more interactive guaranteeing hours of unexpected fun for the games in progress.

Must say that I'm not best pleased with the entire category of army movement spells (and the Gate Stone artifact) still not fixed, despite the patch notes stating that at least one of them (Gateway) now works. Sure, all the changes to units, whether fixing bugs or just tweaking them a bit, are nice, and I note that a number of crash bugs have been fixed, but it sucks to have an entire branch of strategy based on a class of spells not working at all - spells that (for the most part - eyes Stygian Paths nervously) worked in Dominions 2.

WTS: Gate Stone. Highest bidder gets it. Do I hear 1 astral gem? Anybody?

I'll pay 15. It still allows the commander to move... *shifty eye movements*

I'm glad someone likes the patch. Still it's unfortunate that the gateway isn't fixed, because I fixed it a long time ago and I have no idea why it has unfixed itself. But that's one more thing for the next patch then.

Thanks!

I also like the patch a lot. Spell modding is good.

While I haven't even played the game pre-patch, I am glad to see that you continue the good history of patches and more content that made Dominions 2 so successful.

And with a game as huge as Dominions, it is perfectly understandable that a small team like Illwinter can't catch all bugs at once.

I second your opinion reverend.
I think this is a good patch that represents hard work from IW to get many fixes quite fast. I'm glad to see that IW continues their history as you've said and I'm confident that IW won't rest until dom-III reaches at least the same level of stability as dom-II has, not a small thing considering how huge the game is.

So, thanks for the Patch IW and keep up the good work

Great patch! We need more great patches

I wish I wasn't so much of a noobie - then I could maybe appreciate the patch! It's a good sign for a game when the first patch fixes things that a noobie doesn't notice. so, yay! Great patch! uh...I presume.

But, I am desperately trying to resist the urge to bring your attention to the 'patch improvement thread' that NTJedi started up, as it has some things that I and other noobies, and a bunch of veterans have noticed, and which are still in play...but they're really just requests for improvements...but I won't mention them here, becuase that would be inappropriate...I certainly won't mention how much help it would be for a noobie to have commander's items listed in the cdr's icons when in the army setup screen, or how much help it would be during battles to have my commanders spellcasting on one side of the screen and my enemies on the others...nope, I won't mention those things, that would be rude...

I'm really just kidding. The game is TOTALLY excellent, and anything that I might mention are really just "wished-for-cherries-on-top-of-the-sundae-that-is-Dom3"

Thanks again, for ruining my sleep schedule.
