1.04 Update

[Jimmer]

With all those bugs outstanding, the only one you can find to back up your assertion is the one I included as an example point?
 
I guess your lack of examples speaks volumes, then. I'll leave it at that.

You asked for one example, I gave you one. I'll leave it at that.

(BTW: I thought cleverdevils was on again???).

No. It's waiting for Gwheelock to become an official beta-tester, so he can get version 1.04. Then, he'll fix the game, give it to me to take my turn, and then re-fix it (since I suspect that every time I move something will break in the Ottoman area).

We're about to release a BETA 1.04 so hang in there a bit longer. I have submitted my image to Matrix. We have to test the install but we're just a few days (Programmer days ) away.

what is new in 1.04 that worth it ?

[obsidiandrag]

With all this bantor of games not getting completed etc... I have just one question...  Can anyone think of how many face to face games they completed verses how many attempted to compare to the PBEM versions?  I have a whoping 0% face to face games completed verses double digits of attempted.  I personally have enjoyed crushing the AI just to be able to finish a game finally.  I had even started giving the AI a head start by biding extra points for the country I would play to make the game even more interesting.  Fact is even with bugs you could still play and finish a game, or wait.. save that game at the bug, start another one and when the next version comes out now you have 2 games to finish.  Yes, the AI is going to take some time but I am willing to keep testing and helping develop it into a warmonger that can pose a challange, but as they say, Rome was not built in a day.  As a gamer who has wished for a long time to have more time and the people to get together and just enjoy the game, this is a good start and getting better all the time.

Check out the change log in Mantis and you should see MANY fixes and AI improvements.
I think it's one of the better patches so far.

The AI plays MUCH better in this version.

What is the Mantis ? And I dont see the new patch game in registered downloads..

Let's see what happens from here.

Bingo. Move onward.

I am reminded of a quote from the 1976 movie, "The Gumball Rally":

Franco: And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
Franco: What's-a behind me is not important.

Gazfun,

Let me know if you have any openings. I like EIA alot. I have NOT played PBEM yet. I may have another player too.

Thanks,
Jason

Your analogy is void of any real fact since you don't know any of us. In fact, I have noticed that more TGHQers abandon the game then the people that are on here complaining (myself and some others I am in games with included).

You dont know anything about TGHQ at all quiet frankly, since april this year you havent visited us much. And havent said too much to us with only 9 posts since april 2008 and 2 or 3 of those are only files uploading posts. So I hardly think you can say anything with authority.
Out of the 5 games we that had started with us we still have 4 going, and they have been going since around December 07
We had 3 restarts in one game, and that has continued for 6 months and going strong, because of the strong commitment of players.
The fiflth game pulled out as the GM and a few people drifted away from us, due to a combination of personel problems, and email issues, but they didnt keep up with the patches, and so caused a sync problem all the time.
The fourth game GM pulled out and has been replaced by a stronger GM, this games will be continuing, and looking for 1 player, replacement due to personel problems.
We have had a few replacement players but at quiet an acceptable level.
A lot of the guys are having fun with the game actually. We have had hassles with bugs sure but the main thing is that most of us just keep on keeping on, and adjust to suit, that situation, but we find that mostly not to many bugs have come forth since 1.02, and the game has stabilised a lot since 1.03 thanks to Marshall and the testing team.
Thanks guys all of us at TGHQ appreciate it immensly.

Hey ME,

Great to hear. More AI fixes!

I do wonder about creating the other Kingdoms, such as Kingdom of N Italy and (I forget the other one.) Have these been added?

Also, at least according to the original game, when creating Poland (for example) you HAD to have Mazovia and then COULD ADD any other (P) provinces to make Poland (minimum of 2 - Mazovia + another). Has this been or will this be changed? Maybe in 1.05 or later?

Thanks,
Jason

We haven't added any more kingdoms nor have we changed any existing kingdom configurations. Apologies here but Poland in EiANW requires two provinces and I don't remember one having to be Masovia??? This is doable. Let us get a few more things added then we can look at this.

EiA had Masovia (i.e. Warsaw) as a prerequisite for Poland. Any thoughts on implementing the Polish loyalty marker ? (i.e. even if Poland is conquered you keep the troops).

[iamspamus]

Well, the issue is that you (the creator of Poland) picked which provinces were added (after the requisite Mazovia). In the one computer game I played as Russia where I created Poland, it added the provinces that I took from Austria and Prussia AND ALL of my own provinces. Nice but a bit much, especially with only a couple of Polish armies. Definitely better with the choice.

Thanks,
Jason

I also found this to be an annoyance. I found that Russia didn't have enough manpower or money after all those provinces were auto-added while Poland had plenty extra of both, especially after it's corps were full.

[iamspamus]

Oh yeah, corps, not armies...sigh.

Interesting???
Is this not normal / expected?

Marshall?? This is the THIRD thread on this topic. NO, it's not expected. In "classic EiA" (I won't speak on EiH) you could PICK AND CHOOSE the provinces you wanted for POLAND.

NOTE NOTE NOTE: This is not the case for all Kingdoms but it IS FOR POLAND!!!!!!!!!

There are several other threads where people have directly quoted the rules for you to go and reference.
