Semi-Official Drool Over the Next Patch Thread

Edi · #1 February 19th, 2008, 04:27 PM

Okay, we need a new thread for shamelessly drooling over and speculating about the new Progress Page entries, so we might as well do it in this thread.

Latest:

19th feb
* Hidden in snow reworking. More units, higher cost. Turmoil, magic and luck effects.
* Ermor domkill effect upped from ridiculously low levels.
* First steps on Gath: LA Abysia fossilized giants.

And that Gath entry has just been added, it wasn't there this morning. Looking better and better...

Ooo, all three of those look nice.

New nations are nice and all, but how about fixing the now much more prevalent scale bugs first? It was something done for the 3.14 patch.

Can anybody explain the fuss about scale bug?.. I am playing two games, both with order/misfortune. My order scale is spreading just fine, and the only bad event I've got was Bogus attack on turn 16.
I have dominion strength of 9 and 10 respectively though, perhaps thats why my scales keep working.

OmikronWarrior · #8 February 20th, 2008, 04:29 AM

The bug is good scales (Order, Production, and Growth) vanish, usually on turn 2 and good worse form there. It does seem like having a high domain can bring them back, but when those early turns are so critical and high domain not part of many designs... you get the picture. The bug has been recurring for a while, but I never got before the 3.14 patch. Not, I can't seem to start a game with out the bugs appearing.

Lingchih · #9 February 20th, 2008, 04:33 AM

Yes, I think high Dominion will prevent, or at least alleviate, the scales bug. In the games which I have a 9 or 10 dominion, I have not seen the bug.

1. If you read the progress page you will see that it was fixed some days ago.
2. Our labor is divided. I cant program much . It is JK is the programing wiz, thus fixing serious bugs.
3. JK is working on his ordinary full time job as a computer engineer. I on the other hand have one week of vacation from my work as a teacher. I felt like working a bit on new stuff. New content have no bearing on most of the bugfixing, since I cant do it, unless the bugs are simple ones.
