Quite. They're already in the works, apparently. Carl recently posted that he was downloading the patch and would be working on 1.2 versions of his mod files in the next 24-48 hours IIRC, and Lusted already has posted LTC files for v1.2.

Awesome. You balance modders rock :)

And thanks to CA for fixing the bugs!

I'm gonna have to assume that the "Unspecified Error CTD" comes about from having modded files because after an uninstall, reinstall, patched to 1 then patched to 2, and remodded the Descr_Strat the game runs fine...

I'm just speculating though...

Fußball and Foz' points about two-handers holds true for Eastern Halbred Infantry, which die so horribly to knights that raising their attack wouldn't do much good there. They die too quickly. Checking on other units.

Thanks for the replies FuBball, Doug and Foz.

This is what I was expecting. As I mentioned in earlier threads, that a stat rebalance will be necessary after 1.20 to make the game work as intended. I'm waiting for PureFixer 1.14 before I do anything with 1.20.

In Fixer 1.13 I felt the 2H were a little too strong. They were the ultimate infantry in most cases. I think a minor downward stat change vis a vis Fixer 1.13 would improve them in Fixer 1.14. A stat change in the range of +7 to +11 perhaps, perhaps a little less. It would have to be experimented with.

Having said all that I LOVE 2H units. They are beyond cool.

Salute !

At last, the new patch, now I can spend hours playing M2TW instead of checking to see if the patch has been released....

Notably, Egyptian halbreds do much better against infantry if they are in loose formation.

Egyptians vs. English Dismounted feudal knights (sword and spear), normal settings, grassy plains, 1 to 1 frontal, both in close formation. English win with 53 men left to 12 Egyptians remaining.

Same situation, halbs in loose order and English still in close: Egyptians win wtih 28 men remaining to 24 for English. English morale broke before their leader was killed.

Interesting. Did you run the test a few times (e.g 3 or 4) to compare results ?
I think that test in itself says a lot, but just wondering what a sample sequence test result would be.
