Patch 3!

[Megas Methuselah]

Jaegers now have muskets instead of incorrect rifles

??????

Long riflemen and winged hussars removed from early era battles.

Oh nvm. I guess they wanted to get rid of ALL rifles in the early-era battles.

Awesome, naval invasions! That will deffintely make campaigns more interesting now.

[Monsieur Alphonse]

Other changes:
All European line infantry have now +3 extra defense. For Marathans and Ottomans this is a little different.

All European line infantry have now +3 extra defense.

They already had much too high a defence value as it was.

[Jack Lusted]

Be aware with melee defense shield and armour values are now also counted in the value shown on the unit card. The actual melee defense stat itself has not really changed for most units with this patch, though the values are being looked at for future balance patches.

hey, Jack, just wondering if inter-AI diplomacy will be looked at at some point? i did not see anything about it in the patch list. currently, the AI does not seem to be able to make peace with other AI factions. once two factions are at war, they're at war still 50 years later despite both factions not doing anything to each other.

[Jack Lusted]

There are going to be constant AI improvements and updates with every patch. We're well aware of the issues relating to the campaign AI and making peace and its being worked on.

[FactionHeir]

Something not mentioned in the patch notes among other things are naval click crash and defeat an army that was targeted by another army crash. Also things like grenadiers forced to reload after using grenades, light infantry needing to reload before planting stakes or AI actually going to make peace with each other.

Its slowly getting there though, which is good.

Btw, my own personal bug list:

Wow! looking at that list, I see stuff that had to be patched in STW. Was nothing learnt on the way, or did Sega put a gun to their head? Damn I'm glad I didn't buy ETW.
