Patch 2.13 available now

All of this talk on flying taunts from the disabled reminds me - there isn't a broken wing affliction, is there? It'd be cool for flying units to be able to lose their flight ability if they had their wings hurt.

Thank you, Illwinter.

AFAIK, there's no "broken leg" affliction either, immobilizing or severely slowing down non-flyers. Ditto "broken tail" for swimmers. Let's not single out the flyers for special treatment just because they can fly, please.

Crippled.

Is this one of the new afflictions that were introduced a patch or two ago? I've yet to see it.

How about "Limp", that's -4AP. At least on most infantry troops, that's a pretty severe AP reduction.

[von_Schmidt]

'Limp' is the one I meant - not 'crippled'. My bad.

Don't know if it affects stratmove though.

[archaeolept]

no, "crippled" is an old affliction. you've no doubt seen it but forgotten about it, arryn. It is, in fact, notoriously useful, as crippled units set at the back on hold and attack generally prevent pretender routs

I love to see Posts that show that some people still remember how to "pay" for free things. Please and ThankYou go a long way in everything that is beyond the initial purchase disc (patches, mods, maps, 3rd party programs)

The good news is that JK confirmed that this is because of the cheat detection code. So the cheat protection was changed, though that isn't in the patch notes so it's a free bonus. Since the turn won't process, I guess this means that the server is doing at least some checks for valid orders but it doesn't like the unique item spells? How much did the cheat detection change, and do we have a dabbler in the black arts who can try some of the posted (but then deleted) 2h hacks and see if they are caught?

could you perhaps update the patch description and include improvements in cheat detection and other changes too ?

i personally love always to know all changes
with paradoxgames this is sometimes a 10 pages long list but this way i just feel better informed


finally 1 small question related to this :
got the cheatdetection fixed with using an alchemist stone and then removing it to the lab for taking another item again e.g. still result in triggering cheat detection ?


since you changed better stacking of different 50% resist items do you plan to further improve the system on the following ?
if an archangel e.g. with 50% lightning resistence wants 100% lightning resistence he can't take a ring of lightning resistence or a copper plate .

so i suggest that 50% + 100% just result in 100% resistence .
because the 50% lightning resistence of the arch angel e.g. was surely not intended as a curse but atm it is .
the only nonunique item is the Scutata Volturnus if zens miqr is still correct .
