Nice patch, a lot of balance tweaks !


Have you fixed the neutral pirates issue in Sertorius campaign ? (see here and here)

[PhilThib]

Not sure... I need to re-check the relation levels, they are the cause of the issue I believe..

[HanBarca]

So my RSR mod didn't make it in the official patch ?

[Emx77]

Marius vs Sulla scenario. July 87 BC. Pontus (AI controlled) invades Africa. Is there any way to prohibit AI for doing this?

[PhilThib]

We can't prohibit but try to strongly incite the AI against it... Will alter the AI file accordingly

[Sgto.pippers]

Regards. Compatible with the version FX?

[Dragoon!]

It appears as though the patch has caused some database/graphics errors in the spartacus scenario..Anyone else having this problem? I installed 1.02b and bought/added the Cantabrian wars dlc in that order. and now....

[PhilThib]

Yes, you need a revised version of the scenario. Will be ent by mail tomorrow

[PJJ]

Same problem here.

So everybody who has bought the Spartacus scenario (I preordered AJE and got it back then) will get the new version by mail?

[Pierro_F]

Confirm same situation of PIJ : I preordered AJE and got it back then.

[Sodei]

I also have the same problem with this scenario.

[HanBarca]

I see a couple of values were in the OLD GameLogic.opt but are missing in the new one:
cbtLdrCasuDiceSides = 500 // Nb of sides for the casualty dice for rank 1 leaders, at the end of combat (twice as low for rank 2, rank 3 excluded)
cbtSkipAssaultFirstRound = 1 // New rule - never allow Assault on first round when is set to 1(allows Hit & Run tactics better)

Is that OK ?

Also, it looks like legions are not building ballistae anymore during siege....

[Highlandcharge]

Yep you are correct HanBarca, the legions are not building siege engines anymore, it says they have in the turn message log but they dont physically appear in the army box... a beta bug?

I have saves if needed..

Thanks

[Iwbtone]

yep, I also preordered version AJE, same problem in the Spartacus scenario,
so from PhilThib's Post :
will everyone preordered AJE get a email automatically? or need contact PhiThib or Support manually?

[anibal barca]

i have same problem with the spartacus scenario and with the pompey and cesar scenario,with cesar legion sieged massalia have roman archers cavalry.
i think that the beta pacth 1.02 everything has uncontrolled and has units cards are mix in all scenarios.
i buy the DCL cantabrian wars and installed the pacth 1.02.

[Highlandcharge]

I started up the Vespasian scenario with 1.02 beta and the same thing is happening, I moved Vespasian to lay siege to Jerusalem, it states that siege engines where built in the turn message log but none appear in the army box... strange..

[PJJ]

Damn, it seems this patch broke the game. I hope you guys can fix this ASAP.

[PhilThib]

I am double checking this...sorry. Will do a patch fix today asap when I find the error

[Highlandcharge]

thanks...

Looking forward to getting back to the battlefield

[PJJ]

I installed the new patch but Spartacus scenario is still broken.

[Franciscus]

Yes, you shall receive a compatible version of Spartacus scenario by email from PhilThib soon...

[lodilefty]

Official 1.02 is now posted:

[Pat "Stonewall" Cleburne]

Arcathias and 35,000 Pontics just stormed the beaches of Tunis. Could the Numidian armies be drawing the AI across the sea? It seems odd considering they don't have any objectives in that direction.

[PhilThib]

Well, we could add an event that makes Numidia at war with Pontus if the latter invades Africa. However, in patch 1.02, the Pontic AI has "lost" interest in Africa, so it should not happen again...or so we hope

[PJJ]

Did you already send the new Spartacus scenario? I didn't get it, in case you have sent it.

same here, I preorder AJE to get the Spartacus, and still don't receive email now, I already PM Philthib , I think fix magic will happen soon

[ashandresash]

I got it yesterday, a few minutes after emailing him. I'm sure you'll have it as soon as possible (it's Sunday, you know).

[Iwbtone]

yep, get it right away after emailing, ageod's support is genius

[PJJ]

So it's not sent automatically to people who preordered and we all have to ask for it separately? Not the best way to handle such things, especially if there'll be future database changes and we buy more DLCs. It's going to get really complicated to ask new versions for each and every DLC scenario after updates.
