Does the patch only improve multiplayer?
Seems so from the readme.

NO! The patch makes GREAT improvements in the SP campaigns also! The AI not seeing your "concealed" troops is nice - but the major improvement has been in reinforcement handling.
Qapla!

I'm surprised things like Mongol vs Mongol, Early Jap vs Early Jap, KOTH, Capture the Honjin etc don't seem to have been added to the SP custom game? Or have they?

[hach]

Yeah i just noticed you can't still mix units in custom battle which sux.

How you meant to practice MONGOL VS MONGOL if you cannot do this?

I'm playing my first campaign since installing the patch and I've noticed a ton of port invasions by the computer. I'm playing the mori clan and after taking out the takeda in the west I fought off about 10 consecutive port invasions into Aki province by the shimazu, never seen that before.I'm currently pushing eastward and have pushed the oda out of kii and the computer port invaded the province making a bit of a sticky situation seeing I have no troops in the area to push them out. All and all I still love the computer port invasions they makes you play alittle more cautiously and the patch semms to really increase their frequency.

maybe this means building a port in every coastal province isn't such a good idea. when i invade an enemy province with a port, i now usually destroy the port so the enemy can't reinforce/sally/invade the taken province. i usually only keep a two orthree provinces with ports anyway, always the ones with my main troop-production castles in them.

How do you destroy ports?

In Warlord Edition, you can sell a building by 1) left click on the building icon in the usual province information panel, then 2) choose the most left hand side "building on fire" icon. Then you will be given an estimation of profit. Click OK and the building is gone! This new feature is really cool as we can now occupy some enemy's advance provinces and sell everything. The profit is likely to be 2000 koku or more! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I usually leave the ports of they offer large income but l awlays have troops there.
