Patch or not?
 

The progress page shows a new version (3.01).

Is this patch going to be available shortly or it's still a beta thing that may or not be released later on?

Re: Patch or not?
 

I think it will show up soon. That means he has "packaged" it up. But he has to do seperate patches for each OS (3? 4?) so it might be a day or two

Re: Patch or not?
 

Also, I doubt every change in version number automatically results in a patch. I don't know why, but e.g. there was 2.08 patch for DomII, but no 2.07.

If I was a player I would expect it to be out when the beta group has given it a quick look, perhaps before the weekend.

Doesn't look like any changes to Bless buffs or strategies (unless I read over something). Well, except for this one:
* Blessing can affect sacred undead.

Re: Patch or not?
 

We'd need changes to the overpowered sacred units, not necessarily blesses.

At least on the Helheim front, the Helhirding become capital-only, right? Same for the Svartalf. Serious nerf.

Re: Patch or not?
 

yeah, was about to say that:

* Helhirding only recruitable from site (and double display removed)

but it says so for the Dwarven Smith, not Svartalf:

* Dwarven smith only recruitable from site (and double display removed)

This looks like a bugfix patch, not a balancefix one. So I'm not surprised they haven't addressed bless rushes.

Re: Patch or not?
 

OK, at least Helheim will have this remaining to them...
