MORE castles ???

Atm, it does not build castles at all. Never. Nothing. Nada. Niente.... .

(It does find castles from sites quite well, though.)


As my tests have shown, it doesn't even need a new troop building algorithm - it only needs castles.

And more castles would even help with it's supply problem ..

Please note that this patch finally addresses the following longstanding bugs:
  • retreat during assassination
  • destroyed local enchantments sometimes still displayed
  • retreating unto land for aquatic creatures with an Amulet of the Fish
as well as the recently-reported 50-mod limit. IW deserves thanks and encouragement for their work on our behalf.

Yeah, I just lost a retreating commander. My priest probably would have lost to the 23-attack 20-defense dual-firesword Abysian prophet-slayer, but you never know!

Seriously, I'm glad that bug is finally quenched.
