Amazing after sales care as always from AGEOD. Thanks for the patch - I haven't even been playing it long enough to find the bugs!

Great patch, the game is playable now :) In the release version it wasn't so (all battles ended with results like 20 000 to 20), thus I was a bit disappointed - coudn't win 1815 scenario at all (and others too). I'm glad it was fixed!

I knew the bug would be eventually fixed so I decided not to rant on the forum that "AACW was better" etc. since I have purchased that game when it was patched to version 1.05. I believe NCP in version 1.05 will be as great as AACW :siffle:

I do not agree - the game was perfectly playable. Every patch will improve the game in some way, but to say that it was unplayable beforehand is very unfair.

:bonk: I was clearly living in a world of my own - so many people have reported problems with combat resolution, and AGEOD already have a patch out - so I withdraw this. :p leure:

If you mean by "playable" that the interface was working and there were no crashes then I agree, AGEOD engine is pretty good at that.

However, getting beaten 10 times in a row by forces smaller 3 times by your own with casualites 1000 times greater than the opponent is a game-breaking "feature" for me and I'm glad it was fixed by this patch. As Pocus wrote it was connected to Napoleon's abilities (too many of them) and playing Napoleon's Campaigns without Napoleon wasn't too good (killed most of the scenarios, especially those small like 1815).

Also, please note I wrote about this only after it was fixed expressing my joy that the problem is over, not before just to rant :)

I must have been lucky - I didn't experience any of that. It must have been very frustrating.

I am glad that the patch will help.

Critical error and crash continue in the "Spanish Ulcer" scenario after the instalation of the patch.

Don't kill the messenger... :siffle:
