Great, the patch is out and here I am with 3-4 hours left at work. Hate! Hate! Hate! :furious3: :furious3: :furious3:
To those of you who have the patch or may be getting it very soon I am dying to know if the strategic AI's fetish with building ridiculous numbers of ships has been addressed. It isn't listed in the readme so I'm a tad worried.
Oh you evil, evil, evil download...it stopped short on 99% !!!!
I hate hate hate....
Quid
Damn, transfer rate stuck at 10Kbps - less than 15% of what I normally get ~:handball:
All of you STOP DOWNLOADING NOW ~D
Guess I'll go and get an Indian then . . . . . . ~:idea:
I do hope you using a download manager and not the monstrosity that is Internet Explorer's default downloader :help:Quote:

This is typical, the day the patch comes out i've got to go and see some poxy Bon Jovi tribute band with my gf :furious3:
Done and done. Good.
Now Ive got 2 hours till my nightshift and im falling asleep.
GL to the rest of you guys downloading.
Went the the Total War site when I got home from work like I normally do...
I was not mentally prepared, I damn near had an "accident" I was so surprized... ~D
It got downloaded but I recieved "error initialising setup file". Nooo!!!!! :wall: :furious3: :bigcry:
How big is the file?
When I started the dl in Firefox it said 50 some MB. Firefox is saying finished, but the file is only 20 some MB. And I'm at work so I can't run it against the v1.1 instance.
edit
well, it wasn't finished. I've still got 30 MB to go. :furious3:
its 56 MB
Egyptian units have only been slightly modified from what I see. Axemen are down to "only" 5 armour in their skirts and neckpieces. Oversized desert cav and bowmen remain, as does the +5 shield for pharaoh's guard...who don't have shields. :uhoh:
Archery still looks a bit much...ranges and attack still the same. Bummer. In custom battle a single egyptian bowmen unit routed 1 unit of falxmen before it could reach them and nearly routed a second as well (they just made it to the bowmen but routed as they struck the stationary infantry support behind them = no egyptian casualties.)
The pri/sec bug is fixed. Iberian infantry can now fight a little while vs. hastati/principes.
Cav upkeep for first two tiers still looks cheap.
Hope the AI changes are more extensive than the unit fixes... I've got a lot of modding to do.
I got that aswell. I knew it would happen, because the file was so small (12MB). I am now downloading from fileplanet.Quote:

patch is down and installed, shame my disks are 300 miles away in my dads PC. :)
First thing I'm doing is breaking out a quick battle to test and see what things have been improved. Namely - skirmish AI/Phalanx - etc. I have high hopes and will report back... though the patch is less than half downloaded at the moment.
Just for everyone's info...
The patch is available on Fileplanet... It where I a getting it now..
*looks at the speed* 10 kb/s
*goes away*
*comes back in 5 minutes* Is it done yet?!
*slaps his forhead* Over an hour more....sheesh
Great, now I will get to try it only in about 24 hours...sleeping...school...more school...skiing....AH! make it 48h I will probably be too tired...*sigh*
Finish your downloads before 7:00pm EST (12:00 GMT) please. I expect full bandwidth when I get home from work. ~D
chugging along at 13.k/s
memory leakage due to fire arrows was not fixed. The one lag infested issue I wanted them to handle and it wasn't addressed. I know its not just me, I tried it on two different pc's and people in the chat lobby are also bitching about it.

Can this work with RTR or do I have to re-install?
I seriously doubt the patch will work with most mods, especially the really big ones like RTR or SPQR.Quote:

This way you'll always have a clean vanilla copy of Rome to use for MP games or to copy again for other mods.
wow i started downloading at about 12:00 with 20 kbs. I took and nap and got up and it stopped at 98% :furious3:
Luckily it's better now and only took 2 minutes to download this time.
Downloaded it earlier today in about 15 min but I still havent installed it. :ducks:
When i re-install do i need to install 1.1 as well before I install 1.2?
