Well when i make my regular visits to the lobby it appears everyone is playing with 102 and its only the odd few who tuen up for about 30 mins that use 103, so im thinking what to do
1.03 has really taken off in the last 2 nights, with 90% of the room using it last night. The choice over wether you use it though is entirely yours of course. .02 however alwasy was an unfinished patch which meant that a lot of units were unbalanced and over powerful. That is why you may notice people using 1.02 making rules like 4 max and no ashigaru.
If you want a game with no "extra rules" like that then 1.03 allows it and keeps it all fair. Personally after playing 1.03 properly I would rather not play shogun at all than play 1.02.

Is this an offical patch? Whats teh story?
WE/MI v102 was a community developed rebalance with official sanction. However, a deadline left too little time to fully test it before it was released as an official patch. After about a month of online games it became apparent that muskets and yari ashugaru were overpowered and monks a bit underpowered. Several of the same people involved in v102 along with some veteran players who were not involved in the v102 refined it further and released it as an unofficial v103 rebalance. In effect, v103 is what v102 was supposed to be as far as Sengoku Period games are concerned. You'll find that v103 offers better balanced muskets, monks, battlefield ninja, archers and yari ashigaru. All units have an effective counter unit and no one army type dominates. In addition, units were adjusted to fight longer so that there is more time to carry out flanking maneuvers making v103 more of a flanking game than v102 which is more of a shoot and rush type of game. The Mongol era games are still not fully balanced in the v103 with the Mongols being rather weak compared to the Japanese. There is a rebalance of the Mongols released as v105, but this was done by a single individual and did not get the degree of testing by top WE/MI players that the v103 got, but the Mongols are much stronger in v105.
1.03 is definitely better than 1.02.
Downloaded it.
Easy to set up and offers additional gameplay choice.
Its simple, so do it.

even a non technical idiot like myself managed to sort it out(with some help from devil) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
A new patch? I have to give it a go one of these days. Haven't been playing STW for weeks now...
Gonna enter the foyer in 1.03 each time and endeavour to remain so.The same will be true of clan-Shinkage in general and we will encourage all to use it when the occasion arises.
see you soon
