    Default Okay, so I've been away for a while...

    ...and I haven't installed 1.2 yet.

    I currently play 1.1 with the following player created "fixes:"

    1) Towers (having them shoot the proper missiles)
    2) Two hander bug fix
    3) Shield bug fix

    Everything else about 1.1 is fine as far as I'm concerned. I've read through some of the threads about 1.2 and it seems to be debatable whether all of the above issues have actually been fixed or not with 1.2.

    What I want is for 1.2 to pretty much play the same or better than my modified version of 1.1. Is that the case, or are there other player made fixes that I should be applying after I install 1.2?

    Better this and better that. I think the AI improvement is worth the UNINSTALL and then reinstall from plain unpatched to 1.2.

    Do not install 1.2 over 1.1

    Also, spys aren't so perfect without the guild and other minor fixes. I would get it for the better diplomacy that is shown between factions.

    Work-Still hate it but I appreciate having it more now.
    Girlfriend - ? - looks like I am helping Nga now. Miss sex though.
    Responsibilities, Too many bills to too little money
    Reality - (Censored)
    Kids - My son is improving a little bit each day, still far behind but I may have more kids in the future.
    MTW - Kingdoms installed but...Urggg, too soon.
    ----------------
    Conclusion, Life is worth Living now.

    1.2 improves diplomacy that makes it worth it. LTC is a great mod that makes some tweeks to the AI (a money script to help them out) and corrects other small things that didnt get into 1.2.

    Overall LTC keeps the game feel real close to vanilla, I highly reccomend this mod as I think it will give you what your looking for. Its stable, supported, and installs to a seperate folder within the sega folder so you can play it or vanilla.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    All 3 of those bugs are fixed in 1.2.

    Yep, I highly recommend 1.2 + LTC 3.X

    Jack, now that you're a CA employee, can you please somehow convince them that they need to include a proper uninstaller with their games that deletes the appropriate registry entries? It's a common thing to have to reinstall TW games, but they never quite uninstall right, and I hate mucking around in my registry since I'm certain I'll screw something up irrevocably. Please, a proper uninstaller needs to be a priority!!
