Question about patch 1.3

[Hollerbach]

I can't seem to find any info on what is in the 1.3 patch? I understand it allows those without Kingdoms to play those with it online but is it also a general fix and tweak?

I don't have kingdoms but I also don't play multiplayer. Therefore do I get any benefit from a patch that takes several hours to download?

Hi Hollerbach,
Patch 1.3's primary function is to allow M2:TW users to play multiplayer and swap saved games with Kingdoms players. In addition I have read that it fixes a bug with "floating settlements", but I'm not quite sure what this bug is and what significance it has.
Hope this helps, cheers!

Thanks, so it seems the bugfixes are relatively minor then. I've never heard of the 'floating settlements' bug? Anyone else know an more info?

AFAIK all 1.2 does is install secuROM on your system and let you play saveed games from people who have Kingdoms, so if you're not planning on joining a PBM there is no point iin getting it

Thanks, looks like I don't need to bother then. Cheers for that.
