Patch Readme now available

Finally. Can't wait for the patch.

I got two questions. Will the Ai use different tactics in battles and be harder to beat?

[Proletariat]

Besides all the things they had to fix, (friendly fire, bridge warefare, etc)
I am excited about three things that I wasn't sure we'd get.

1) Fighting with the Collossus watching,
2) Finally seeing a storm wash out a fleet or two, and
3) Getting new family members elsewhere from your capitol.

From all the missing fixes I hope the Temple of Zeus is fixed, I didn't see a fix in there for that. But it looks really great and I don't want to complain and I can't wait for the patch. This sounds like the game that was supposed to be not the game it is.

Excellent! Thanks CBR for posting the information!
There are a lot of good things in that list! Except for one thing I personally would have liked to be in the patch, if it isn't already in yet, but just not mentioned, are the SP replays as some others have also mentioned in this thread.

But all in all this is certainly looking good!
I had to limit myself with certain things already, like:
- I can only sally out once per turn.
- I can't attack the same army more then once per turn, because the AI couldn't either.
And these two are both fixed!

I was really missing the fact that wonders and such (although I was only aware of the wonders not showing and hadn't payed attention to the other things) weren't shown on the battlefield, but that has been fixed now! WHOOPY!

That sounds very promising.

I particularly like that
"Custom battles in both single player and multiplayer involving multiple armies of the same faction are now supported. "
This will now allow us to stage historical battle reenactments and the like. As for not having the Uber-faction all on one side, I guess it is up to the decency of the players in MP not to do that.


"Armies of the same faction must all be on the same team."
Still a pity with the limitation, that we cant have e.g. two Germanic tribes fighting each other.


And like many others have said, I hope they have fixed the bug with the replays not replaying correctly and just forgot to mention it in the readme.
