    Three different method of options selections have been completed on the test server.

    1. batch files for installation
    2. batch files at the Amazons Total War main directory
    3. new script with editing instructions.

    Also copied Parthians Shot's with emails.

    ModDB already has the third test case, but no comment in the readme folder. An "Oops!" there

    I am sorry, messed up there!

    Let me know any problem with the other two.

    Personally, I think the #2 test is the best deliverable.

    I don't mean the "Oops!" as a criticism.
    I place the file on upload knowing very well the first release won't be perfect.
    None of the release would be perfect for that matter.

    #1 test is a backup of the #2, in case it shows fatal flaws.

    No Problem!

    On T2, how would it show fatal flaw?

    For example, the player changes the option during the campaign, exits the game and resumes playing later.

    T1 would be the candidate if any problem shows on T2.

    If the players changes the options during the game, as long as the script is not re-executed in one campaign without exiting the game, there should not be any problem.

    But it is good to find out though.

    Yes, the test cases I created have what you described.
    It should be ok, because you had added the non-re-entrant check in the monitors, so even if the script is executed twice, there should not be an issue. But we better test to find out.

    Tester sever is going through maintenance, so I am posting this before I lose the data.

    1. Armenian Horse Archer should be recruited from horseherding resource, not horse breeding.
    2. Armenia has no horse breeding resources.
    3. Armenia has no wagon capability other than mobile towers.

    the libyan amazons and far east celts also becomes a health bonus with there academy's? The Geoth amazones becomes the companion horse archer with a Councilors' chambers while the other Amazon factions gets his unit after building a royal palace.
    The libyan amazons metal smith give them the amazon chariots and horde wagon but after the upgrade to armourer they can only build the horde wagon

    All these factions don't have a description for the same buildings: Far Eastern Celts, Scythians, Iberia, Western Celts, Suebii, Arvernii
    Buildings are: siege engineer, spice road, silk road, curia and highways

    I am so glad to be back and then I started to catch up with what has been happening, it took me about the entire day to go over what has happened on TWC alone.

    But, thanks WP, I will list your feedback and try to itemized them.

    1. academy's health bonus for the libyan and far east celts.
    Yes, because science and knowledge helps to prevent the spread of diseases.

    2. Geothe gets the Companion Horse Archers with Councilor Chamber while other Amazon faction gets it with the royal palace.
    Yes, Geothe is always a bit more advantageous on building, and this is expected.

    3. Libyan metal smith recruits Amazon Chariot and Horde Wagon units, after upgrade, only the Horde Wagon ca be built.
    This is a bug, unless there is another reason for it.

    4. Missing description for the buildings
    Will look into this. Right? Bibi

    Once again, Wheelie made a difference. Er is looking into #4 right now.
    Also Cel is making the Amazon Community change for resources.

    Good to have you back!

    Cel,

    I asked BB to publish it, knowing there is no other known problems.
    We have to make two stage releases to be safe, so it is not your fault.

    BTW, love your welcome back picture.

    WP, it is intentional for both buildings to be able to recruit the tower units.
