Kingdoms Patch or SS 6.0

[MightyMak]

I'd vote 6.0 if I could. I can't play vanilla M2TW anymore. They can patch it all they want, the SS modders do a much better job.

[Zolt]

Even if 6.0 was not here I probably wouldnt bother to install patch 1.5
Only some very minor issues with the kingdoms campaign are fixed, so basically no impact on grand campaign games, even less on SS

[mangoo-]

Would the patch be compatible with 5.1? Anyone know?

I havn't bothered to download it yet, but i was wondering the same.

[The Merchant]

It seems like the 1.5 patch isn't even compatible with itself.

[TheColdTruth]

Ya, dont even bother to d/l the 1.5 patch. I retract my vote of the patch and put 30 more votes to the release of SS 6.0!

[Mike99mm]

I go for waiting for a month so that way SS can port over to 1.5, because 1.5 fixes the graphic bugs with vista cards and I'm tired of playing a good mod with no shadows and stupid 2d looking trees.

I would rather have SS, since I bought Kingdoms I have yet to play the mini-campaigns. I only have interest in the grand campaign so SS has my vote. Although, since I'm on steam, i may have no choice but to install it.

[Ataegina]

well what they did on this patch, you can find over twc community, fix's etc etc so nothing new on this patch, disapointing....... so i would choose SS without any doubts!

i voted for the patch for i do play Kingdoms and SS.

for some reason i find threads like this sort of insulting to what CA works on.....

I find CA releasing a patch that half of their buyers can not install insulting..

[Teutonic Joe]

did you honestly need to quote my post when its above yours.....and why couldnt they download the patch? thought the SS thing was resolved and that the mod can be played on it....

[TheColdTruth]

Yes, I did need to quote you. An the problem with the patch has nothing to do with SS. Has to do with CA and bad files in the patch.

im a bit confused, i downloaded the retrofit mod for kingdoms/medieval 2, i know i will have to reinstall for ss 6.0 but can i install this patch with the retrofit mod? thanks

[MORBIDYAM]

in all likelihood you can the retrofit mod is basically just added kingdoms units, so the patch should work with retrofit, plus I believe the mod leader said the patch should work, but if there have been any recent developments I would go to the retrofit mod subforum.

hey appreciate it, i will definately look there, from what ive been reading the patch isnt working anyway, us version at least.

after looking at some of the posts about the new patch, i am just going to wait for 6.0 to be released, ive seen to many people say the download and unpacking is messed up.

i have another question though, will i be able to download ss 6.0 over the retro fit mod or would it be wise to start fresh with kingdoms 1.3 (i think)?

[MisterBenn]

I voted Stainless Steel 6. Although to be precise I will continue to use 5.1 + mini mods until version 6 has a stable Real Combat and Recruitment mod to lay on top.

With all respect to CA, I don't see how the handful of stat tweaks in the Kingdoms 1.5 patch can possibly compete with the sophisticated stat rebuilding and level of field testing that Stainless Steel and Real Combat has been subjected to. I don't think the official patch has much value for us and I wouldn't consider it a priority to upgrade, particularly if it means giving up any of the user-created goodness we have here for any amount of time.

I'd imagine the chances are that killer new features such as overhauled campaign or battle AI will not appear in a Kingdoms patch since Empire TW is in the works.
