Armagan must be on speed or crack or something! No confirmation on many changes yet, although Armagan mentioned some sort of new context menu feature. I can't play it yet since I'm at work.

Someone mentioned changes:
-you can conquer villages now,
-conquering castle will convert the nearest village
-can recruit from all friendly villages now, including conquered ones
-conquered villages will produce recruits from their original faction

Unfortunately, this is again NOT backwards compatible with old saves. I hope you are all not too attached to your .891 characters.
EDIT: Correction, Armagan said that save games are probably compatible with 0.891.

He probably buys coke with the money we gave him

Well, last time around they got from .800 to .808 in about a week, I hope they can keep the patch numbers down a bit this time. .89+ will be pretty damn awesome with the bugs worked out, though.

Well...I didn't even get a chance to really play .891 and find any sorts of bugs.

Won't be that fast this time, unfortunately. That post allthesedamnnamesaretaken linked to says they're starting a vacation tomorrow that will go through next week.

Just enough time to let us build up our characters, then they will release a new, save game incompatible, version

. Doesn't bother me though, the game is very good, and that guy and his wife probably need a vacation.

Downloaded this morning (using school's computers - yes! rebellion against mainstream society. It feels like I'm a teenager again!)

Can't wait to get home and play.

Hm...My little saved game from .891 seems to work just fine.

**Wild Bill Kelso** · September 27, 2007, 05:50 PM

This is why I am waiting a few weeks before diving headfirst into the game..

I wish I had your willpower.

Wow.

So soon?
That's good anyway. I can finally conquer those damn settlements!

EDIT: Damn, their forums are under maintenance...

Good deal, thanks

**italiano** · September 27, 2007, 11:21 PM

I'm happy with the constant patches. We're really their beta testers, so progress should be a priority

Anyway, there's nothing stopping you from playing an older install.

**the_mango55** · September 28, 2007, 12:52 AM

This version is MUCH better.

You can recruit faction troops from any village, whether you are aligned with that faction or not. Usually villages have anywhere between 1 and 4 recruits available. And if it's your fief, then it will fill up your party with recruits automatically.

**Valus** · September 28, 2007, 01:47 AM

Hopefully the next patch will improve the Rhodoks faction, the one I am playing as, since I think that it needs to be reworked...I see them as the swiss of Calradia, cant tell why really... I would love to see them as pikemen..

**Rob_the_Celt** · September 28, 2007, 03:45 AM

Hey Valus, you're my grandpa!

I can't wait for TLD to be ported across to the new version, it should be excellent. Is anyone making a TW style campaign map for it with historical factions?

**Armatus** · September 28, 2007, 09:26 AM

you're kidding me.... hah! alrighty let me consider combining the stickies then... heh

I am! Grandpa Valus, I like that..

I think someone is making/proposing a Pelopenessian mod, I am not 100% sure though..

**drak10687** · September 28, 2007, 11:31 AM

well, as said before, they did the same thing with the previous version... and they'll do it with this one basically until its stable, and relatively bug free, and then it will be announced as the official latest version.
