Dear players,
Surtur, already published here some nice informations about the first patch to End all Wars
http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?38221-To-End-All-Wars-gets-its-first-major-patch!&p=335870#post335870To re-iterate, you can patch the game with the auto-updater or with a direct link:
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/ToEndAllWars/ToEndAllWars-UpdateComp-v101.zipThe first patch is quite massive and is improving the game a lot. The readme in the patch is slightly trailing behind, but the actual content is fully up to date, so do not worry. The official patch is equivalent to the latest release candidate (RC9), in case you wonder. In red the most important entries, in yellow the additions of RC9, for people who followed the public beta patch version after version.
I suggest to use the default forum theme, with dark gray, or your eyes might bleed with the colors used otherwise!
This thread will be stickied in a few days, for now while it is active, it is better to keep it unsticked as it will stay on top and the focus of your comments, no doubts
LIST OF CHANGESGameplayGrand Headquarter can have more armies.
TrenchLevel memory: If you have at least 50% military control, you can get the previous trenches of the region!
Improved supply in-stack distribution
Stacks helping others through MTSG will be placed back in their original region, even if in retreat. Posture will be defensive, not passive.
Stacks assaulting a structure and ordered to retreat will simply stop the attack.
stacks don't retreat from regions not having an offensive posture stack
Stack in retreat or doing MTSG can't cross blockaded river or pass through 'front' because of ZOC.
Leaders will only lose seniority on January 1st and July 1st, this should help for promotion potential.
