    I'm pedantic that way. Now I'm about to start working through the armour-value inconsistencies for my own use (there's a fair few cases where identically equipped units have as much as two-point difference, eg. Thureophoroi and Peltastai Thrakioi - and I don't even want to think as to why the latter ranks for "fast" skeletons while the meaningfully lighter-equipped Peltastai don't get even "semi_fast"...) - want a detailed list of those too...?

    Thumbs up Re: Apparent minor EDU gaffes

    Watchman - IF you're going through all your edu's anyway, is there any way you could upload the 'corrected' versions, so we could implement them in our games?

    If you can't, 's no biggie.
    If you could give a brief explanation of what lethality and all those other stats are (this goes for anyone who knows), and what the general standard values are, I can go about fixing my own edu's.

    I'm planning to, actually, and in several orders of magnitude as I intend to update my old BI conversion for 1.0 eventually. I figured I'd first just fix the clear-cut things in the vanilla (eg. the missing AP attributes and so on) and have that as the "bare bones" version, then add in the BI features as the "BI lite" version, and finally go through the whole thing a third time putting in my purely personal takes on shield values, terrain bonuses and other more debatable stuff for a "full BI minimod" version.

    As such a perfectly rational progression as each step can simply build on the previous one, but somewhat time-consuming...

    Sounds good. But perhaps you should first check with the team whether they intend to release a hotfix anytime soon.

    Eh, by that point all I'd need to do was to transfer most of the still relevant modifications as is. Actually, unless the hotfix were a seriously major one I'd more likely than not get off easier just copying the changes in the new files to the old modded ones...

    Well, it worked well enough with the earlier versions anyway.

    Well, I'm pretty sure that our stater will read this thread soon and work upon the problems.

    That would certainly be nice, but odds are that won't be before I've made the alterations I intend to play my personal copy with - and I might as well share that if it interests others as well.

    And everyone needs a hobby. Think of me as the kind of Warhammer player who spends more time painting his miniatures than playing with them...

    ...I really need to get outmore.
