upcoming patch - question

[castor troy]

Hi

Any intents of changing the 70 exp need for Allied bombers to use other bombs than 500lb? According to michaelm the feature is still in the game and has been took over 1:1 from WITP while the general average exp has dropped by something like 15-20 points compared to WITP. I´ve got bomber squadrons that have a couple of thousand combat sorties alltogether and still haven´t reached 70 average exp. Other people have reported that they´ve played through all of 45 and still have never seen Allied 2 or 4E bombers dropping anything else than 500lb bombs (except the British ones that carry bigger bombs by default).

The game "Pacific War" (Grigsby SSI 1995) had it set up so there was a percentage chance from 70 to 90 (over 90 experience was a 100% chance) so 5% per experience point of using alternate ordinance. I wouldn't be surprised if this same formula made it into stock WitP, but I can not confirm this.

(I'll point out that in Pacific War, the Japanese got sig int rolls BTW. Players were allowed to target various bases and could do so multiple times to obtain more info on the base and yes if memory serves, the allies got 3 to 4 times the amount the Japanese got).

Okay, you "point that out". Then I'll point out that this is not what this thread is about.[8|]

I thought the thread was about when we are going to get the next patch[:D]

[d0mbo]

what patch?

[castor troy]

any serious answers? [;)]

[Terminus]

Presupposing that there'll even BE another patch, you'll just have to wait and see along with the rest of us.

yep. T's back. as grumpy and gruff and scathing as ever.

welcome back mate. The forum was just not the same without your sarcastic wit.

[Flying Tiger]

In Defender of the Crown the computer got Viking raids and Barbarian raids to attack human castles. The human player got no such thing.

And no, that is not relevant. But nor was the comment above it!!

Have a look at this thread, in particular michaelm posts.

tm.asp?m=2601896

It doesn't say that a patch is definitely coming or when, but combined with michaelm's posts in other threads, it is clear to me that he is still working on AE and that is most definitely a prerequisite for a new patch. When he stops working on AE, then we can be certain no further patches will be forthcoming. Until then, there is always a possibility of a patch. Just don't set any alarm clock in advance of an official announcement.

Actually, quite a few people are still working on the patches - both of them!

Well. That answers that question.

Well in Civilization, the barbarian hordes can appear without need of a city to spawn them from. Try and do that as the human player!

Terminus, bad cop. JWilkerson good cop! I like the chemistry.[;)]

Anyhoo.... About CTs question? Which I think is a good one.

As to the question - I am not aware of any such discussion - and I probably would be if there was one. Such checks have been in the code since day one of WITP (if not UV as well) so certainly nothing new.

Thanks John Lansford - after a really rubbish day at work, that response made me chuckle [:)]

First T is DANISH, 'nough said.

After all they bought in an Australian to sort them out (we all know the real power is in the person who holds the Kings sceptre...)
