Feedback on the official patch 1.02.

[alex9337]

I am still in the middle of playing my first 1.2 campaign as the English. The only mod I have done is change the turns to .5 years, matching the aging of my family tree.

I gotta tell you, I may not be much of a computer techno guy and I have never delved into the "guts" of the game, examing stats, etc, but I just love the fixes in this new patch.

I am being attacked by multiple factions with really good units, ie, chivalric knights, xbowmen, top-o'-the-line cavalry, etc. This is wonderful, makes it a real challenge!

thoroughly enjoying the working traits and the fixed spies and assassins too. Great job, CA!

I posted earlier on this thread that I was finding it difficult to get started. Now I have and I'm impressed. Am playing as the Seljuk Turks and got to Constantinople by 1110 on the vanilla 1.2 game with the only game change being changing it to 0.5 years per turn and displaying the years. By 1120 I have had to withdraw from there as I've been hit by 4 crusades + 2 full stack armies of hungarians all arriving at pretty much the same time in the area. Second to that the Egyptians have decided to try and attack me near Jerusalem giving me a difficult 2 front war to deal with. Am leaking cash like a sieve and I'm finding feudal foot knights to be extremely tough to fight as well.

And you know what, that's great. The game is providing a good challenge and I'm having to reconsider my options for what to do. Not had that at all with the previous versions. Thumbs up from me
