IIRC darkness has worked in cave forts before this. Or my memory is playing tricks on me. In any case, there were no darkness related fixes in this patch, so there is no working autodarkness in cave provinces.

Cave forts were already dark.

Is there any notable difference in the effectiveness of fear, now that it isn't parried by shields?

Is it only working for "Cave City" or will any fort in a cave province have the darkness effect ?

I meant cave provinces.

Also, should the version still say "2.23b" on the start screen?

Hiya all. I'm kind of new here. I got this game from my brother (who got it for his Birthday ~4 months back, didn't like it, and then gave it to me when he next saw me (we live in different cities)). I installed it and started playing and think it's pretty darn good (though I'm certainly not yet).

I have a small problem though. The game runs fine normally, but when I patch to version 3.26, it crashes whenever it tries to adjudicate a battle. My hunch is that it has something to do with the 4 year old Dell Inspiron 1501 (I know that it was mediocre upon release, and it's even more mediocre now) I'm running the game on (even the menu windows sometimes pause briefly while loading). I'm not very good with computers; generally I use CanIRunIt to figure out if I'm able to run a game. I have a hunch that my laptop would come up short if Dominions 3 was on their list.

Here are the specs, copied and pasted from a website. I unfortunately don't know enough to actually confirm their veracity.
* AMD Sempron 3500+ (1.8GHz/512Kb)
* 15.4" Ultrasharp WXGA display
* 512GB DDR2 SDRAM 533MHz (1 DIMM)
* ATI Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory (Integrated graphics)
* 60GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
* 24x CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
* 6-cell 53 WHr lithium-ion battery
* Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
* Dell 1390 802.11g Mini Wireless Card

So, given this information, are there any patches that I should be able to run? (I don't really want to spend the next couple days uninstalling/reinstalling to try each patch...is there an easier way to unpatch/repatch?)

Thanks in advance!
