I've never been able to make commander scrolling hotkeys do anything visible - what screen do I use it on and what does it do?

If I understood correctly it is the scrolling of visible commanders in map view if you have more than 28 commanders in a province. If so, it's a very joy-joy thing to change, was getting frustrated with provinces harboring 40+ mages.

Hm... One thing not in the patch that I was hoping to see. The game still does not seem to keep track of exactly how many resources are available when you partially built a guy on the previous turn. Looks like you still have to keep track of this manually...

But there sure were some nice improvements in this patch. The greyed out thing when you are under seige is nice and this will no longer confuse the heck out of the newbies!

I also agree about the burning pearl. It was much too strong for the price. It is still stong, of course, and will still be built anyway. But, Arch, feel free to send your excess pearls to me!

Eh... is the linux patch borked? The patch didn't seem to work, giving med the 2.12 Version again, as far as I could determine. So I unpacked patch 2.12 and 2.13 in separate dirs, which I ingeniusly called 212 and 213, and ran diff:
Code:

---

esben@musvit dtmp $ diff -ru 212 213

Only in 213: army4.trs

Only in 212/doc: modding.pdf

---

Not to complain, but I think this can't be right... except for these 2 new files, the patches are identical(!)

Half borked??
I tried rehiring some mercenaries in a game and it starts with half the initial price, as stated in the 213 changelog.

I'm seeing a new bug with the new patch - I'll post the details in the bug thread, but basically if tab out and tab back in occasionally the rendering is kinda hosed.

Although I like nation specific pretenders, I still dont find the Great Warlock for Abysia and Skratti for Jotuns to be viable choices, despite their slight advantage over similar human pretenders. But maybe thats becuase I find rainbow pretenders are only really effective finding gems that your national mages and their summons can use, and that I also tend to use site searching spells. However, more choices are always better

Thanks for the continued Dominions II support!

Edit: Why doesn't the Skratti have any water (cold) magic? I'd have removed the frost father and replaced it with the Skratti.

..would be great if it at least would build forts now.
Does it?

Nothin' about it in the readme...
