Patch 2.01 for Beta 2

Lots of bugs reported by the community, or discovered by the team, have been fixed. This includes the fixing of a rather major bug, which gave CTDs when entering battles. Here's the complete list of changes:

Rise of Persia Beta 2

Changelog Version 2.01
================================= ============
-Fixed major CTD issue with battles, by generating new sprites for all of our units
-Babylon's wall now shows up on campaign map
-Added some missing descriptions
-Rebalanced some units and factions, since they were either underpowered or overpowered
-Added diplomats and spies to all factions which didn't have one yet
-Removed all grain resources from the stratmap
-Fixed an error in the win conditions file - they now show up for all factions correctly
================================= ============

Compatibility note:

This patch is compatible with savegames, but some of the fixes won't appear without starting a fresh campaign. (diplomats, spies, grain, {win conditions?})

Installation Instructions:

-Download from: Riseofpersia.com [15.5 MB]
-Install

The installer automatically sees if, and where, you have installed Rise of Persia Beta 2, so you don't have to point it anywhere - just patch.

Good news about the sprites. I'll dl this as soon as I finish with my current campaign, which is awesome. This mod vies with Chivalry TW as my favorite. Great work!

[Keravnos]

Well Done Team!

[Nero666]

Thanks guys

I'd recommend to install this patch already EarlofWarwick, since it's compatible with savegames. Makes it easier to finish your campaign too - without that CTD. Thanks again for your advise about sprites by the way - it really did make battles much smoother.

[Jerloi]

Outstanding! Glad I could help!

Thanks for this patch!

The rebalancing is especially nice, nice to not get crushed quickly by a giant army.

[Promised]

I have just installed the patch and everything seems fine. The one thing that is keeping me from playing though is that while I'm in a battle and I zoom into my troops I get an instant CTD. It is happening with any faction that I play with. Can i get some help on that?

[Aetius]

Love the patch!

Just for a future note, the factions need rebalancing. Im not sure how hard it was for Cyrus to conquer the middle east but in all my games the Babylonians and Lydians make huge armies that are unstoppable. The Babylonians have very good units and the have armor, unlike the Persians.Also the landbridges from asia minor to greece are unneccesary. It just creates weirdness. I am also hoping you add the wonders in, by this time there was the gardens of babylon and the pyramids.

Because this mod is the called the Rise of Persia I expected Persia to rise but it is quite hard to contend with the other superpowers, quite hard. And once Media becomes revamped the siuation for the Persains will become practically hopeless.

[Mr.Plaice]

What sprites are and why their lack can cause an error to the game?

Hi ROP team!

Thanks for this patch! Excellent work ladies and gents!

I got a CTD playing as Taras against the Athenians.

Please look into this.

Second.


Bessoi doesn't seem strong enough to stop Lydia from controlling all of Thrace, Macedon, and Illyria. (When ever Lydia attacks the rebel Byzantion, I type "create_unit Byzantion "rop thrake horsemen" 5 9 3 3" to help 'cheat' for the rebels.)

EDIT: I just had a half stack of Lydia defeat 15 (9 exp 3 upgrade) thracian horsemen in the rebel Byzantion. Turns out Lydia had chariots... ...too powerful?

Well in reality the Persians didn't engage the Babylonians in their cities but on the plains where they could employ their clever hit & run tactics. Use the same and u wont faulter. Yet when the Babylon was captured the entire realm fell to the Persians unlike the game which is ok since it adds to the difficulty

P.S - Gr8 job RoP team ... this patch & mod is amazing

I'm a little confused. Is this patch included with the ROP 2.1 Beta Full install or do I also have to download this and install it?

[Zenith Darksea]

Funny, because I've found that the AI Bessoi usually take over the Balkans quite quickly. Still, I haven't played it that much yet.

Oh yes, the Bessoi conquer the balkans most of the time, but the lydians always end up defeating them in turn. The Lydian units are very strong. This mod makes me wonder who Cyrus ever did conquer the middel east. The Persians have alriiiight infantry and cavalry, nothing special. The Lydians have the best cavalry and legions of hoplites at thier disposal.

I just dont like the idea of factions being able to cross into the balkans with ease. Historically, the only great invasion of greece was a massive undertaking that was funded by a huge superpower. If the measly Lydians can cross into Greece then it makes it nothing special.

Also what building does it take to produce the Arstibara and the Abusiya? And are they both Immortals? Teh Anusiya being the silver and teh Arstibara being the 100 man gold unit? Just wondering.

[FliegerAD]

I agree the landbrigde on the Hellespont might be a problem, since armies did not cross it very often in our period.

But calling the Lydian empire 'measly' is fully off the mark! They were the most feared warriors of that period, if one believes Herodotos.

The Anusiya are the 10.000 men numbering professional army corps of the Persian empire, the Arstibara a 1000 men numbering unit of aristocratic elite warriors.

[Cemendur Telcontar]

For some reason, whenever I try to install the patch, it says the file isn't working. Any help?

[Nero666]

I presume you have the full Beta 2 installed? If you have, I'd suggest to redownload the patch and try again.

[Nero666]

ROP 2.1 is the full installer. You don't need to have any earlier versions installed to be able to play it. (Thus you don't need Beta 2, or patches 2.01 and 2.02)
