Information on the v.81 Patch

'other than trying to play it on a computer with marginal specs'

My PC might be in this class

, my spec is 2.4 cpu, 1.5gig ram, 6600 gforce card. Will It stand up to the task of EB V8.1?

I've got crappier specs than that and mine runs great with large unit size and normal graphics with stuff like aliasing and dust and grass turned off, smooth as a babies bottom.

Anyway, this is wonderful news. I haven't played properly since 0.8 because i got to a CTD in something like 220BC and i could not work around it, so i've been waiting for this patch to start a new game.

Hooray for EB! If you guys ever come to England, let me know, i'll switch on my satnav, drive to wherever you are and buy you a pint or 8.

For those of you that already live in England, you'll have to wait until i pass my driving test.

I believe we will be making a 0.8.1 stand-alone plus a 0.8 -> 0.8.1 patch available. Either way it will not be saved-game compatible.

"No, there are only a very few new units - maybe none actually, but I think there is a new general and a few units that you never saw before are fixed so they appear now (balearic infantry were virtually impossible to get, as were pontic chalkaspidai)."

Sweet. Will the Hai have a new general? Because I just fell in love with the Hayasdan.

Hmm... no, though I may give them a different starting bodyguard (which will be replaced by the cataphract ones later on) and I've been giving them a bit of a playtest so I have a few tweaks in store for them as well (mostly just army composition - I've discovered that when they start they don't have any anti-HA units, which would be important).

The Pontic and Hai generals are currently being worked on, but they won't be ready in time for 0.81.
