Anyone else excited about the next patch?

[Foodstamp]

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 disålay 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.

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]

Well, happily we have both!
