Yep.
You must copy and rename the exe.

{snip comment after KO's Last post}

So any other changes to files in the directory tree are backwards-compatible?

I have no problem with my two installs of dominions, although I admit I haven't tried to uninstall them. Amusingly enough I was somehow running one copy through a shortcut in the other copies directory, so my saved games went into program files but the exe I was actually running was in the games directory. And here I was thinking I was at least half computer-literate and I go and do something like that accidently.

This is definitely a problem... I've seen a unit paralyzed (2) remain frozen solid for 12 rounds of combat !! It would be great if this was fixed too.

I didn't see mention of fixing the (turn 2?) scales bug and the AI not building forts bug. Were these addressed?

So to be 100% clear, if I make a renamed copy of my current dom2.exe and then patch, I can play 2.06 with the renamed .exe and 2.08 with dom2.exe? Nothing else is required to have two Versions?

I've never seen paralysis wear off. Even units who've received Parayzed(1) from Astral Shield (easiest way to test paralysis) never recover. I haven't tested MindbLast, but I imagine it works the same.

This is especially nasty with Petrify -- which is essentially an area effect Paralyze without a MR save.

[Edit]By my tests, this still happens in 2.08
