Bogarus Rises! Dominions 3.14 Now Available!

Thank you IW for the patch. Your support of this game is IMO top notch in the gaming industry.

Though I've been through similar upgrades in the past, I would still like to make sure what is the correct procedure for upgrade of MP games. And, how is it possible to backup the previous version (backup exe is enough?)?

wraith: copy your current dom3.exe and rename it (i renamed it to dom310.exe) - running that executable will bring up a 3.10 version game, including for your MP games.

then run the patch - you'll have two executables for the two patch versions...

When whomever is running the MP game updates the server to 3.14, then you'll have to migrate over to the new dom3.exe

Just to be safe, I copy the whole folder, and apply the patch only to one of the copies.

The modding manual wasnt updated with the new item commands. I know they are basic but still...

Do I read correctly that the battlefield overload bug that came back in 3.10 isn't killed??

Amos, check the modding forum.

maybe this should be sticky instead of the old post that�s stickied right now.

Checking an old game: The bug is gone, it's just not listed as being fixed.

Great new material as usual. I think that the Bogarus faction adds a nice, new, deliciously bloody spin on the Late Ages.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a strange graphical issue that cropped up for me after installing the patch. Most unit graphics and other icons (including nation flags, forts, temples, etcetera) have lines along the outside, like where the edges would be on a box around them. Similarly, there seem to be "tears" that manifest as long lines both horizontally and vertically across the entire map. The lines make it look as if the map has been "folded" and then opened again, leaving creases. I think that the lines even show up on some of the main interface screens as well.

Is anyone else having this problem? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else on the forums at least.

Also doesn't say anything about T'ien Ch'i national anti-aging spell being fixed - it adds years to age instead of subtracting them!
