The question is how the update system will work now? Will kingdoms automatically update m2tw old game to 1.3 and kingdoms application to 1.4 like in rome or do we need to download separate patches to old game and add-on witch include downloading another 800 mb 1.3 patch for m2tw old.

Kingdoms will automatically patch M2TW to 1.3.

Lusted what kind of things will the patch 1.3 change for the grand campaign if it does not introduce the rebalancing? Is it just fixing some bugs? I am not aware of any big issues with 1.2 aside from the need for some rebalancing.

Patch 1.3 does not fix anything but rather makes m2tw compatible with kingdoms as far as I am aware.

@anders the answer you are looking for i think is that yes 1.2 will be updated to 1.3 however 1.3 will make no changes to the grand campaign unit balance. it will balance units used in multiplayer though to the new balance in Kingdoms.

No it does not, it makes people who have M2TW and not Kingdoms play games of M2Tw online against people who have M2Tw and Kingdoms. There are no unit balance changes in 1.3.

thanks guys, then I still have good reason to get kingdoms, and will finally have patch 1.2. looking forward to getting billmen who can actually take down horses..

btw. lusted its amazing to have a CA insider posting so regularly and answering questions on the fansite, thanks a bunch, and i hope your rebalancing with effect on the grand campaign game will be available in a commercial product soon.
