Anyone else excited about the next patch?

In that case no harm is expected to come to my client

Thanks Edi.

Nation numbers have increased to 94

New nation slots have an effect on the save files, meaning all graphs in ongoing games will be wiped and start anew from the update on.

This patch will really be great for modders (in addition to all the limits pushed, even things nobody asked for since dominion 3.0... like complete item modding with new items creation !). Thanks a lot.

Like Foodstamp I think the last missing thing is a way to create non national recruit sites (and/or a command to add/change poptypes eventually), then we can say "all is moddable in dominions".

We might actually get the site recruitables if IW is feeling generous. I hope so.

The poptype modding would be trickier, since it would involve making previously completely inaccessible things moddable whereas adding recruitables to sites would be a matter of opening already existing (and basically moddable) site functionality by adding #recunit and #reccom for sites

I'm not fussed about the number of nation slots, I just want the description limit increased.

llamabeast · #6 December 10th, 2007, 09:38 AM

Well, happily we have both!

Sombre · #7 December 10th, 2007, 11:19 AM

Indeed. I just looked at the progress page and there's a LOT of good stuff there. #darkvision is always nice, for instance.

* Dominion sometimes spread in incorrect ways, fixed.

Does this mean the "BHV Dominion Spread" bug?

Edi · #9 December 10th, 2007, 05:09 PM

Not necessarily. It refers to the Vanishing Scales bug and GUI Battle Marker on 1st Turn bug. The BHV Dominion Spread bug may be caused by a different mechanic, in which case the patch would not affect it. If it is caused by essentially the same mechanic, then it may be fixed.

It's probably too late for me to bring this up, but when starting a new game from the command line for a dedicated server there always end up victory points in the map, even if you didn't touch those settings and even if there is no VP victory in the game. Is this supposed to be WAD? Is it possible to turn this off? I'm not that sure if I managed to.
