Hey guys,

I used to read these forums all the time (and play M2TW!) until about five months ago when I had to leave the country

I finally have a gaming computer again and an internet connection to annoy people, and you guys are my first victims! Weeey, I hear you say! :)

When I left, the 1.2 patch was about to come out. I never tested it and was playing er...1.0 or 1.1 with:

  • Pikes fix - to make pikemen not draw their swords as soon as anyone looks at them
  • Shield fix - to make anyone with a shield not DIE as soon as anyone looks at them
  • Ballista towers fix - the whole "build a cannon tower that ends up shooting ballista bolts" problem
  • Two-hander fix - which everyone said I should have :)


Are these still necessary? Where can I find them? There used to be a sticky post listing them but I can't seem to track it down anymore. I saw the 1.2/1.3 bug list and it said there are now stats problems because of the shields and two-hander fixes.

If all this has just been answered just a page down on the forum, I will happily take all the verbal abuse you can throw at me :) I did look, but obviously did not find anything.

I used to be right on top of all the developments but five or so months being away have made me lose track of EEEEVERYTHING.

Thanks in advance!
