Anyone else excited about the next patch?

[Sombre]

You just missed a ripe chance to take credit for some poor intern's slavish slav work.

You'll never make it to the big time like this.

Ha! Mine and borsuk's laziness paid off at last! We wanted to make a slavian nation but decided to wait and let someone else do it for us!

I'm sorry to go into a tangent like this, but I can now see how one could see my comment as offensive, and I feel that I need to clarify my previous statement.

I recognize that Dr.P and Panpiper were joking. It wasn't even that much of a politically incorrect joke. It was the type of the joke itself. Even as I'm typing this message, in some forum/IrC channel, this happens:

Person A: reveals that some internet personality is female in RL.
Person B: joke of sexual nature concerning the female personality.

I just find it extremely cliche, lame and overused as joke (along the lines of "knock, knock" - jokes). It happens every freaking time there's a opening for it. It's just not funny for me anymore, and when you remove the funny from jokes like that, they're just incredibly lame. I know, it's supposed to be joke about how internet is composed of horny male teenagers, but when you see the same joke for the thousandht time it stops being clever.

As a closing statement, I agree that the comic descripts a situation of completely different magnitude and perhaps I bit of over-reacted by posting it, but this is just one of my pet-peeves I can't leave to rest. I'm not in any way against Dr.P or Panpiper, just this whole "OMG is she hot?"-joke thing.

But, ehh.. Going back on topic.

Damn that new patch looks good. Just #onebattlespell suddenly makes dozens of different commander types possible. When you put the sprite limit and scale bug fixes on top of that.. I really wish I wouldn't have to go to military service in one month, just stay home and mod/play dom3..

More less. As for me, it's more the fact that very little is known about ancient Slavs' warfare. They were supposed to be able to forge iron weapons, they used shields, spears, axes, bows. Mostly no armor. Proffesional warriors could afford swords and (if I recall) chain mail, but that's it. Without some inventions, it's very boring military. I couldn't think of any way to make military interesting.

Magic side is very interesting, though. I'll be offended if there are less than national summons.

Wait, you mean LA ?

Just a heads up, the patch progress report is back up. With some new goodies that has me pretty excited, and I am sure you will be excited as well Here is the link :

progress report

Crossing my fingers that unique names for heroes and the ability to create new sites with recruitable units makes its way into the patch

I'm gonna guess that forestshape is a shapechanging command that takes effect in forests, for use by Bogarus?

This means that I won't need to pool nations for my megamod, which certainly has me excited, although I will still need to balance them.

Any idea what the following means?
"Version 3.12 Score graphs from old games will disappear with new version due to added nation nbrs"

Any idea what the new nation nbrs are?- I'm concerned this will break my status client.

Probably that it will be impossible to dis�lay score graphs because the range of nation numbers has been extended. Just how many new numbers we get is unknown, but I'd peg that as the reason.
