Official 1.9.23 Update Available
Hey folks,
It will be "officially official" tomorrow with a press release, but it's up on our public FTP now. Feel free to grab it and get a head start:
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/ForgeofFr ... -v1923.zip
I'll attach the change list to the next post.

Yes, unless you're still playing 1.23 (or whatever that December patch was called).

Ha! And I don't even have to call in sick tomorrow--this time I've already got the day off!

Quick question:
When I'm using "sergeant" difficulty level with no power bonus to either side, the AI confederacy is getting a combat bonus on the attack report for "difficulty level." This didn't happen before I patched as far as I know. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
edit: The AI is getting a difficulty advantage even on the "tutorial" difficulty level. Is this happening to everyone or is mine corrupt for some reason?

RE: Official 1.9.23 Update Available
I just tested and saw same. I assume its a bug too.

To clarify, do gamers need to have the v1.2.3 patch installed before applying this new (v.1.9.23) patch. or is this considered a comprehensive patch for the original download/CD versions?

This business of "Sergeant" difficulty and its impact is NOT, repeat NOT, a bug. There is an error in the manual in which the bonuses are one level off from what the manual says. This was reported soon after release and discussed at the time (though obviously it was a while ago).
(Mr. Z, if this is not in your list of manual errata it probably should be.)

Gil; thanks for clarification - I missed the earlier post - to play with no bonuses then the level to use is Sergeant?

That much has been determined I think, but the question posed in other threads is the AI "neutral" level for HW play. Seems to be some confusion or bug related to that part of the difficulty settings, as the AI gets positive Diff. adjustments all the way down to the tutorial level.

RE: Official 1.9.23 Update Available
It does seem that the difficulty bonus is being applied to varying degrees even at the lower levels -- I'm surprised no one has reported this before. Will fix.

RE: Official 1.9.23 Update Available
Another patch?

At some point down the road, sure, but not imminently. This is not a critical issue though and the official update is a huge step forward as is.

So what's the most balanced (no bonus) option for play against the AI? Sergeant still?

Yes, Sergeant is the level where the only bonus the AI currently gets is a slight detailed battle casualty bonus. No other bonuses to the AI and none to the human player.
