Unzip into your \ACW\Settings folder....

I noticed that, before releasing the patch, that caching detected erroneous data and was not happy, so I believed I disabled it... It seems caching reverted to ON by itself. Damn thing :)

The code is fine btw, it is just that the caching now detects data that have problems, like double-pipe.

Here is beta8. That would be cool if the official version were derived from it! ;)

http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/temp/patch_AACW_v1.16b8.zip

The patch now includes 'system.opt' that disable caching, this was my mistake. It worked locally for me, but not for a patched regular game.
Also includes AI placeholders file from Michael.

No it does not.

After beta8, the LocalStrings__Age file is still dated 20-05-2010 :wacko:

Qualifying statements is understood thanks, and thank you for your support about the game. :)
But my main curiosity about the beta patches is about retreat: units retreating to regions that have enemy controlled structures. When I have tested with beta 7 Sibley was retreating to Tuscon rather then other regions when attacked by cavalry. is this fixed?

I understand. So retreat change was about "discounts the effect IF its owned by the enemy." thank you.

It was turn 6 or 7 Sibley decided changing sides in the war :) . He moved to Tucson during turn resolution and I think there was no garrison in it.
save files from beta 7 updated to 8. I tried it didnt give errors :) but it can be reproduced by any game I think.

and No! you give update or feedback in any situation in beta or hotfix. it is well understood, thank you again.

If one has Beta 7 working - via the QuickFix - is there any reason to switch to Beta 8? I can't see any ...

That's not a bug. This is "an unexpected side effect coming from a map peculiarity affecting too strongly a most of the time perfectly correct parameter".

Seriously, you get a +10 bonus to retreat interest for each land link of the evaluated region, reasoning being that it is always good to be a in region where there are many paths.
But South West is an interesting region with no less than 26 land links, for the grand total of a +260 bonus.

So, instead of trying to find the right value that would do the right things 100% of the case, I choose to change the formula. Now the +10 is not an absolute bonus but a +10% to the current value.

In the end, South West starts at -12, and has 0 bonus from 0 MC, so now don't get any benefits from having a lot of links.

Sibley now retreats in Quitman...


If there is nothing else spotted, this will make the official version, it is long due.

Would that this were true, but for fear of jinxing this, I advise you to beware of the unexpected. For instance, nobody expects...
