[Latest Release] RS1.6a Patch

**Squid** · January 27, 2010, 10:53 AM

Another surprise in store for all RS fans while they eagerly await the coming of the end of days . . . I mean the arrival of RS2. RS1.6a is a patch to RS1.6 with one major improvement and a bunch of bug fixes/tweaks.

New Features in RS1.6a:

All Historical Battles (single-player and multi-player) will now work properly

Bug Fixes from RS1.6:

Fixed missing eagles from caesarian legion first cohorts unit cards
Fixed the barbarian unit with the reversed shields if you're playing from an original 3 CD install
Tweaked the barbarian archers stats and their custom battle costs
Tweaked the stats of all hoplite units so the most expensive units actually have the best stats
Added recruitment for the Greek Noble Heavy Cavalry unit (it matches other greek heavy cav recruitment unlike DVK's fix which was more liberal)
Fixed (again) the byzantine recruitment of post reform legions
Force diplomacy will install correctly this time
Restored elephant recruitment in Numidia (requries a new campaign to take effect)
Fixed a few unit related text errors
Fixed a few pre-reform roman legion recruitment irregularities with units being available where they shouldn't be
Enabled pre-reform archers recruitable by the romans

Installation Instruction:

Install over a clean/unmodded install of RS1.6

This is so awesome. Weeks, maybe days to RS II and we still get a patch for 1.6 to make it 'complete'. Thanks guys, bless you.

What can I say, I'm a perfectionist, its a failing I have. I was supposed to be released in time for Christmas, but for various reasons I wasn't able to get it out.

You are saying that as if it some kind of fault. I mean, if you get too involved in pretty much anything - whatever it may be, sure, it's not healthy. But a bit of perfectionism never hurt anyone ...

Anyway, keep up the good work, guys. You'll get some sweet, well deserved rest after that!

Same day I buy Fallout 3 you lay this wonder on me! Now I am perplexed! Resume my Pre-Marian Roman campaign and get those archers, or try out FO3. A blessing and a curse all in one!

Already in a campaign can i just install it on top of 1.6 and not having to restart my campaing again??

**Squid** · January 27, 2010, 02:19 PM

Yes, this is addressed in the OP, all fixes but one will apply that one fix requires a new campaign.

Is there a thread or quick explanation on how to save saved games during a reinstall? Normally I'd just say screw it but I'm in one heck of a Roman campaign right now
