[WIP] Fix Pack 1.03b Updated Jan 29

[Dresden]

This is a work in progress fix pack for the next update. It is not yet contained in the main mod. The next update will be awhile as we slowly collect fixes and also work on some of the script issues that users have reported.

To use this, place it in your data folder and run it before the main mod: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1z...datefix5a.pack

submods that change the scripting files will cause problems with the fix pack as they are not adapted to the script changes yet.

Awesome! I love the speed you're churning out updates!

I've mentioned this before but have you looked at Pontos Peltasts? They're relatively cheap, early game units, yet they're amazing all rounders. They can last long periods against heavy cav and hold their own against heavy infantry over prolonged combat (probably due to their superior stamina). On top of this they have deadly missiles (although horribly inaccurate, even from close range!) and can hide effectively.

They're the best in their class by a huge margin so there's really no point in buying similarly priced units. I limit myself to 4 per army.

hahaha the last update listed, yes we found the pants!!!

[stevehoos]

The missing pants have been located, all can relax!

[Zonac]

Please don't forget to remove the vanilla unit corio gaesum (spear unit for galic tribes when you recruit a general) And also the chartaginian marine archers (land unit) and the thracians still need some love

Suit yourself, oops... that's an international pun violation....

[TWJunky]

Great work guys you really are a dedicated team!

[meerkatology]

just a comment on roman legions post imperial - both evocati versions can be recruited into the same army meaning you can put 10 veteran legions +1 first cohort in each army and there is scarcely any reason to make regular legions as their stats are better for the same cost. I think their cap could be more stringent imo.

If We need to begin a new campain？

No, save game compatible.

I don't know why but I laughed at this so hard And thank you! (especially for towers part)

[geala]

If I run the new fixpack and an old fixpack (with priority) together with the Steam version, do I have the old fixpack (personal mod which contains only a few changed files, the rest is deleted) to load first? I presume.

And generally, if the old pack loaded first contains f.e. Del_land_units and the new one contains a different Del_land_units, does the game read only the firstly loaded old Del_land_units file without reading the new one at all? Or does it read also the parts of the new file (f.e. some additional lines) that are not contained in the old file? I don't hope so. You get my prattling?

BTW I don't like pants, do I have to stop playing the mod?

What's about this fix: - Added boiling oil for AI from campaign start to prevent player torch abuse. ?

Rafkos can probably answer this better. However, from my understanding our intent with sieges is to have both the player and AI spend a few turns building siege equipment and taking time to siege a city. Currently, the player can still rush in on turn 1 with torches and ignore siege equipment. This fix was intended to make this less desirable for the player.

This is actually a bug currently and we are working on fixing the Roman reforms. You shouldn't be able to recruit Polybian during Marian and Marian during Imperial but you can.

I won't be on tonight but I will be working this weekend to add more fixes and address some of the script issues still out there. Hope you guys have a good weekend

Really happy about tower-buff!

Any chance to make capturing points take longer - (if it's moddable) so that boiling oil actually has time to be effective, and not stop working so fast because one mob put his foot in the area of control and made it neutral in 5 seconds or so.

The optimal thing would be for enemies to actually have units on the walls to cancel boiling oil and towers, not on the ground only - but I guess that's not possible.

That would be excellent! I'm tired of trying to locate a unit to the tiny area between boiling oil and area of control.

Few more fixes added (Jan 17)

Thanks Dres!
