[CENTER]Rise of Prussia Update 1.03 – Beta Patch RC7a [/CENTER]
December 12, 2011
The patch is a comprehensive patch, meaning it can be applied directly over your initial game installation setup version.
RC7 changes hilighted in blue. RC7a changes hilighted in Green
Game logic
- ZOC don’t prevent retreat anymore
- Retreat damages algorithm improved with variables exported for modding (see AGE Wiki)
- It is no longer possible to make a breach with any unit (like cavalry). You now need at least one artillery or engineer element or a unit with a siege ability or a unit/leader with a special trait (‘Breacher’).
- If you are in supply when besieged with at least one supply wagon or a depot, you can only surrender if you fail your discipline test AND you fail a 5% chance to a percentage roll.
- If you are besieged, weaker than the besieger, with a breach in the structure and only in partial supply, then your troop discipline will get a -3 modifier (more chance to surrender).
- Supply can now pass through neutral territory (case of Russian supply in Polish territory).
- You no longer assault structures if you are still moving, you only assault them if you have stopped moving (the region of the structure is your destination or you don't move at all) UNLESS your ROE is also 'all out attack'. Both the assault posture and ROE tooltips have been updated to explain that to the player.
- This is to prevent serious problems for the AI that has been observed in several of the AGE games with unexpected assaults from the AI: She wants to assault region X, but in the end it happens she will before assault region Y!
- Fixed Major Roads to function properly
- Added GameRules to prevent ongoing Unit maintenance costs and Conscript decay
- [color=#0000ff]Added GameRule to allow AI to properly take over a Faction that was being controlled or edited by a human player
[/color]
- You can now build fortified camps at the cost of 1 supply + 1 artillery element
- Cavalry is more impaired by difficult terrains and well organized infantry.
- Bug fixed regarding depot construction and supply unit usage.
- Losing depleted elements will cost less morale.
- Production time calculation revised (again). A unit with a Build Rate of 100 should be unlocked in one turn
- AI will be less aggressive (parameters exported for modding)
- AI will regroup better corps with army HQ (‘flocking behavior’)
- New AI algorithm: concentrate, can apply to all threatened stacks.
- Leaders now redeploy slightly better toward candidate stacks
- It is now possible to define an affinity for each leader toward certain stacks (modding)
- Fixed: Theaters ratio miscalculated sometime, leading to too aggressive behaviors in some cases.
- Thanks to Clovis good work (work done by modding the AI), the AI is now better for winter quartering and objectives assessment.
- the AI now considers the % of light elements (raiders, cavalry) when checking for assaults against a structure, and not just the ratio of power between the defenders and the assaulting force.
- New AI parameter: aiCTM_ThreatValInFow in AI.opt to help regulate AI agressivness
- Fixed syntax errors in AIFocus_OMB.inc (incorrect usage of Theaters and Areas)
- Corrected several Alias errors in the AI event files
