Money in general seems to have been lowered with a factor of 10, though the weaponst in general seems to be only 5 times lower.

It is also nice that you can't upgrade units to 5 levels above your own. No more knights following a level 5 character.

yeah making money is a lot harder. AI seems to be improved but needs more testing before I'm sure about this.

The new weather and terrain isvery cool - the fog in battles I like - was running along and then thwack a crossbow smacked me from out of nowhere. Those swadian crossbowmen are good shots.

There are a few bugs that have got though in this release so Armagan has stated he will release .701 update asap to fix. Most obvious one is the padded cloth animation. Also mountain bandits seem to bring along their own (very) mountainous terrain no matter where you fight them.

Other than that I think a definite improvement.

Horse running animations look better too.

i rescued a knight from a group of sea raiders when i was level 4 or 5.. he kicked ass for me for a good while (he was better at killing than the rest of my army combined). but i had to let him go because i needed the slot.

Some weapons now are a lot cheaper - a bent crossbow now is about 5 denars (so reduced by more than factor of 10).

Also merchants seem to carry more cracked/bent/crude/battered armour/weapons now - not sure why.

Unless you have a good trade skill merchants et al. rip you off big time when you sell your loot.

Reloading xbows on horseback = w00t! (Though a very cheesy w00t at that.)

Now I can be a "Pictish Mounted Crossbowman"!

So does this have online play too? I can't be bothered with reading off that site!

Can you tell me (sorry I'm lazy)?

no. at least for this version. maybe the next who knows? It's a husband/wife team and they do not have the resources to implement/maintain/fund online play.
