What will be in the new patch?

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

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?

There will be two patches coming in a relatively short time. One in a few days, another maybe within a month.

#1 More units for the Sabaeans (and possibly more Lusotannan units?)

More Sabeans and Lusotannan in 0.81? No, but in 0.82, yes.

#2 All unit cards completed

Not possible since we have placeholders, and what is the use of UIs for placeholders? As for the rest, all completed units will have UIs.

#3 Lusotannan Generals and Standard Bearer (perhaps 0.82?)

Not on the next patch, but on the one after that - 0.82.

#4 Text file change to fix the overwrite problem

Yes, for 0.81.

#6 Prom's graphics (cities and ports, plus others?)

Yes, for 0.82.

#7 Baktrian Hippeis model fix

Yes, for 0.81.

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

Probably faster. Not for certain though.

Thanks, now could someone let us know what is going on with the night battles? There is a thread open about it.

Thanks again.

Do you think, based on what you've changed so far and know you will, that the patch will be savegame compatible Aymar?

[keravnos]

Aymar has stated that it will not.

Darn. I'll probably still see my Carthy campaign through to the next patch which was said will probably be out in around a month. Unless of course patch hype sucks me in and the additions are so grand I can't help but start a new campaign.

Are saves compatible with 0.81?
