What will be in the new patch?

**fallen851** · 12-08-2006, 20:37

I've heard quite a few posts from EB members on what will be in the new patch, so I decided to compile what I've heard. Can someone verify what likely will and won't be in the new patch?

Here is what I've heard from EB members:

#1 More units for the Sabaeans (and possibly more Lusotannan units?)
#2 All unit cards completed
#3 Lusotannan Generals and Standard Bearer (perhaps 0.82?)
#4 Text file change to fix the overwrite problem
#6 Prom's graphics (cities and ports, plus others?)
#7 Baktrian Hippeis model fix

I guess that is all I can remember.... Is any of this correct?

And will the patches come out fast similar to rate they were released after 0.72, or they will take longer?

Thanks for any and all information.

I don't know if we've gotten prom's cities to work again yet. I think the others are correct though.

Lots of start army changes for Hellenic faction and rebel cities. Armies of nubians in kush, more arabs in arabia, etc. Maks in a more precarious start situation. Spartans and kretan archers accompanying Areus.

Will there be be some level of stone walls for the Aedui/Arverni in the next patch? And will they be able to build more advanced roads too?

I thought some EB members said this would be in 0.8 but so far I'm only able to build dirt roads and basic wooden walls in my Aedui campaign.

You should get paved roads for aedui and arverni if you have a building_present_min_level market forum in the province, unless 1.5 has messed up that conditional. Let us know if you get them then or not. They do not have the ability to build those nice stone walls. You say "some level of stone walls", but there is either a wooden wall or a fine stone one that you would not have ever seen in a celtic town. We have someone who is trying to work on something else for them, but we don't have it at this point.

There is a planned bugfix patch coming hopefully very soon which should primarily fix UI and any outright CTD issues, to my understanding. After that, hopefully within a month or two, there will be a patch that actually deals with gameplay and balance issues, reforms, scripting, and anything which isn't working the way we want it to.

Note that, as with all patch dates, you should take it with a grain of salt. We originally thought 0.8 would be out by the end of March. ~:p

I think that i a Quick bugfix should have the priority. I hope it will be released in few weeks. For the bug test Oleo has found a fix (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=74379), so i think that can be integrated in the future quick bug fix

when? is there an approximate date for release of a new patch at all?

**blacksnail** · 12-09-2006, 01:51

"Hopefully very soon" is all I know. I'm sure it will be announced when it's forthcoming.

What CTD issues? There are no CTDs! EB would look like a vanilla game should it not have any peasant unit cards.

**Dooz** · 12-09-2006, 23:05

To be fair, there have been some CTD reports in the bugs forum. I had one yesterday that might be the reinforcement bug we've come to know and hate. Can't be sure though. But other than that, the build has been remarkably stable.

The amount of CTDs in 0.80 compared to previous version is indeed small, but every now and then you hear about something. The standing stone thing is a big deal, as mentioned in another thread.

Nevertheless, I'm glad to hear it has been smooth conquering for you!

About hellenic armies:

I've always wanted to play Seleukids, but I have been put off by them having no standing armies in the beginning of the game. I'm glad it's going to be fixed.

Would the "last moves of Pyrrhus" go something like this ingame?

1 turn - Pyrrhus and Ptolemaios move via fleet to siege Sparta.
AI turn - Areus attacks Pyrrhus, Pyrrhus retreats. (Or maybe fight the battle, loosing Ptolemaios and taking losses before retreating.)

2 turn - Pyrrhus attacks Korinthos with a spy opening the gates (isn't Argos in the same province?), and Antigonos' army joins the battle as reinforcements. Pyrrhus dies.

It would be nice to recreate it, though AI is a little unpredictable. Sorry for being off topic...
