A returning player askes about the current version (3.5.3b)

[Cheomesh]

I played a lot before a HDD crash sometime in January stopped me from playing, so I've been absent for the new release that apparently released sometime early this year. Is there a change log? Last I recall there was supposed to be a few mechanics changes I didn't fully understand, and the Bretons were being removed to add a different faction. I noticed that the Bretons are still there, and that the unit sizes were larger, but that's all I've noticed so far.

Ahh, Cheomesh - I was wondering where you disappeared to.

The changes you speak of haven't been implemented yet, and probably won't be released until the Summer sometime. It's become a rather large project.

[Cheomesh]

Yeah, and I still haven't hammered out the particulars :/

So what's changed in this new version? Noticed there's already talk for version 4, but not so much on this edition.

Compared to what version? 3.5.3b and 3.5.3c are patches that fixes the CTD you get when Pontic leucaspides are used in battle and some changes to the Sarmatian cavalry stats, which were stupidly high.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

(you've missed c apparently, QI might have to put it in a more accessable place).

If you're talking 3.5.3 in general then I can't remember I suspect it was just some general fixes and balancing of Rome/Epirus. Quinn might have a changelog typed up somewhere but he's ill at the moment.

Hi, Cheomesh. Welcome back!

Yeah, I'm a bit under the weather now. Not in much pain anymore (it's getting better, and the orange candy* takes care of the rest). It really saps your energy, though. I just haven't been up for much.

There should be changelogs for each version in the Docs folder that comes with the download. Given the substantial number of changes, each one is listed only briefly.

Fair enough. I'll make 3.5.3c more noticeable.
