I believe it requires starting a new game.

[2gaulle]

I must be stupid but I did'nt find the beta batch!

[Walloc]

I found it located under registred downloads, part of the members page.
Yes i looked in wrong place for starters too [;)]


Hope it helps,

The AI starting strategy for the Central Powers seems vastly improved.

Now that is ODD. In the back-end these two show up separately as intended. I'll have to check this more carefully.

[Moltke71]

Please do check on this.  I don't want the mod yet.

[Walloc]

Jim,


U can download the betapatch without downloading the mod.
U just have to press the IronX mod under registred download.
Then u get 2 options. One is the mod, the other is the betapatch.
So downloading them, in all but name to get there, they're mutually exclusive.

Kind regards,

Rasmus

We should have what we hope will be the final version of 1.2 up in the Members Club tomorrow afternoon. I'll let you all know once it's available. If it looks good, we'll make it official next week.
