Wars of Napoleon has been updated to version 1.02!

Wed Apr 27, 2016 3:12 pm

One of the best grand strategy game set in the Napoleonic era has received an important update, and it is very huge!

The Engine, the Diplomacy system and the Historical Events have been considerably improved, making the experience more immersive than ever!

The list of changes is truly impressive! Check it below!

You can download the patch from here

Get more information about Wars of Napoleon from its product page

Important!
This patch is all-inclusive; you don’t need any other patch.
You must restart your ongoing games, it is not save compatible.


Engine & Game logic (excl. diplomacy)

• Free xp gain has been reduced by a factor of 3 (from 75 to 25% chance per turn)
• Much less attrition in cities, if playing historical attrition
• Garrisons in passive posture don't get served last in replacements, they are in the normal flow, which is:
all passive units
all defensive units that are not garrisons
all offensive units that are not garrisons
all remaining garrisons, if there is at least 5 replacements
• Naval Intercept order won't be reset systematically to false after an interception, it will depend of the strategic rating of the admiral (six-sided dice rolled against strategic rating).
• You must now be on offensive to set Naval Intercept order. Fleets are always active and thus can always be on offensive, but it will lead to increased cohesion loss while staying at sea.
• Upped chances to find someone in the naval off-map boxes.
• Regions list now shows development level
• Feature about Locked keys (F11, F12) that should not affect the campaigns, has been disabled.
• Off map boxes warfare: Upped chances to encounter the enemy by roughly 33%.
• Fixed a bug resulting in no damage done either in OMB or with naval bombardment.
• Some fixes to discrepancies between seniority and promotions.
• Minimum chance to hit for an element is now 7% (was 10%)
• Can now build depots in allied territory
• Army auto-renaming to keep Napoleon at head of 'Grande Armée' should work in all case now.
• Minor nations won't go outside their home territory, unless under direct control by a major nation.
• AI should concentrate forces more often. Work in progress!
• Allied AIs will be much less prone to wander in others allied territories, if there is no threat there.
• Lone leaders will much more rarely go on tourist tour, and if they do it should be quick!
• when using ally requests window, you can now see the value the AI gives to regions in the region tooltip.
• Revised how units are sorted and displayed in the unit panel, at the bottom of the interface.
• Forts will now fire only on ships passing in "designated regions".
• All rivers and "estuaries", Dardanelles/Bosphore, and Neva Mouth are "designated"
• There is also some chance that passing ships will evade fort fire. You will see a message if this occurs.
• Gibraltar will no longer fire at the straits! Ships passing in Coastal Waters will no longer be fired upon!
• Several smaller improvements in AI scripts for the campaigns, while waiting for deeper changes. Need a restart.
• The weird zoo with flying whales and swimming camels has been removed. This entry is part of the contest of 'strangest patch note in a video game' for year 2015.
• Color-coding: If you don't want the engine to use faction main color in tooltip, edit the text file NGC\settings\userinterface.opt, there is an entry named inoCommonTTColor:
Set the value to 1, like here: inoCommonTTColor = 1
• AI will be much less prone to sent stacks without frontline units in non-controlled territories
• Can type space when renaming a game. Can close same window with <enter> key
• Further refined 'play the anthem' logic on load game and new turn jingle
• You'll always see all 7 major nations (Ottomans included even if technically they are a disorganized major) in objectives screen.

Diplomacy
• A war with a minor can stop spontaneously after one year if warscore is still low (< 10)
• Nations that should be future satellites of some majors can't be liberated by anyone except said major (French Spain, Poland)
• Made sure no CB is given if 2 nations are at war.
• If you are allied with an enemy of another ally DOWing said enemy, you don't DOW it. (will solve satellite going to war against their master)
• AI fix: Minor nations at peace will check and answer all requests now (no is a valid answer!)
• When giving back regions to its original owner, as part of a peace treaty, you won't lose the VP, NM originally gained from them.
• fix to receiving CB even against a nation you are at war with prohibited DOW: target is a minor allied to a major, and this major has a peace in effect with us
• True defensive treaty: Major nation gets a CB against another enemy major nation if in a def treaty with ally major being attacked by
• You no longer gets a free +1 warscore per turn when fighting a minor nation (was up to 10).
• You no longer gets a CB against satellites nations.
• Creation of Duchy of Warsaw won't move French units outside the duchy.
• Liberating a nation will make them your ally (or if France/Great Britain, part of your Alliance or Coalition)
• Minor nations should reply more often to requests. (They could have been 'dormant' if at peace, before).
• Formed nations don't propose new treaties fixed a bug in exp forces creating issue in diplomacy
• Fixed an issue in defensive treaty not added properly
• When making peace, you'll always get a passage right and supply right treaty for 24 turns.
• Countries without owned regions don't DOW anyone. There is a limit to stupidity.
• Expeditionary forces and fleets can be aborted if there is no common foe.

I have just gone through a month of the Aug' 05 campaign. AI - seems for the first few turns to be slightly better? Arch. Karl never invested Milan, went over the Alps to defend Munich? One small thing I noted. Prussia doing some odd things with Bavaria, game seems less laggy (last beta patch did that too..so thanks). Managed finally to pull out the Toulon Fleet from Cadiz and make it to Brest...usually get decimated doing that, one over on Nelson. Works, no CTDs, thanks for the patch.

There is a lot of player anxiety concerning what to do about on-going games.

Could you please clarify the differences between Version 1.02 and Beta April?

Can another quick fix be made available for LandSailors and StripNavalGuns?

Will future patches be compatible with both Version 1.02 and Beta April 11?

Thank You

We've been going with 7 player PBEM since JAN 5 version of public beta and install patches as we go. Sure it won't be fully compatible with data such as 'range of fire' and RGD given to nations from the beginning but I don't think it will matter much starting from later patches.

For real? Even if running the latest beta patch? I understand that scenario modifications will require a restart, but is it not possible at all to run the new patch with an on-going scenario?

AI points: Spain sent a force over to London (crazy Spanish), Britain landed a small force at Brest, Prussia still hitting Bavaria, trying to pull back from Pressburg (no supply issues this time) before I do something about that. Russia - no opinion yet. But, either this is a placebo effect, or is does appear marginally improved SO FAR. Great work.

I guess we were risking it using beta versions and an official upgrade. we have 2 game going for multilayer thats 14 players one is on tun 68 and the other is on turn 38. Its hard to know what to do.
The other question is if we update to 1.02. The next patch will have to be compatible with this version otherwise we are looking at consistency issues again with multiplayer group such as us.
What future can we see ahead for this game as far as multiplayer consistency?

Yes we have a campaign in AU05 PBEM so it is a major issue the patch not being retrospective and needing a restart. I believe this happened once before with an AEGOD game (sorry can't remember which) and Aegod responded by making the patch ok so it didn't need a restart.
This is a major issue fellas given the length of the game and PBEM is the heart of the game. If players are going to dedicate a couple of years of their life to playing your product, you can't expect them to do restarts.
Ideas? Alternatives? Suggestions? Creativity?

If you have not used any of the beta patch, then you should definitively restart your games.

If you have used beta patches, then that's ok if this is the April 24th patch and 90% ok for any April patch. You might lose a few events there.

Lodilefty,

Focus may have answered the basic question. Please provide a definitive answer for this one.

Will the new 1.02 Version load a saved game from a 7-player PBEM game using April 11th Patch?

Thank You.

Game is patched to Aprill 11th plus hotfix? So should we install 1.02?

If so can the game continue (allowing for some lost events)?

The game installer put mine in C:/Program Files (x86)/Matrix Games/Wars of Napoleon; don't know if that makes a difference. Anyway, the patch is an installer. You don't drop it into a folder, you unzip it to desktop and run it.

Generally OK. Shouldn't CTD, but depending on when you are in game, you may still have "residual erroneous rgd". If so, ignore them ad enjoy.....
