Update To Version 3.08 Of Dominions 3 Today! - Page 2

One reason for upgrading as soon as possible is the Y-fix mentioned in the middle of that list. That's the one that got marked GUI Special in the shortlist. Essentially it allowed anyone to locate all capitals on the first turn by checking each province on the map by selecting them and using the y-key shortcut. If the province had a castle, the castle icon was visible in the castle icon slot even though did not see castle type or anything else about the province.

It's verifiably fixed in 3.08, so no more beelining for the neighboring capitol with a bless or elephant rush without scouting first.

DB update to follow sometime next week. The issues shortlist will also be updated and reorganized as soon as I have time, meaning next week or later.

Wow.. the biggest changes for MP:

* Mirror image (and glamour) does not protect units from missiles or magic.
* Blade wind reduced # o e
* Flaming arrows increased path lvl.
* Sloth scale -> 15% / step

All good changes IMHO

There is other batch of changes that shouldn't be forgotten when discussing the glamour change:

* Light weight scale mail increased res cost.
* Svartalf home only

Many of the better Vanir units and commanders used Light Weight Scale Mails...

May I make a suggestion about this sticky? Can you put the date of the new patch in the subject line? For those of us who are slightly less than hard core, we don't remember the version number we are using. I checked the old thread a few times to see if there was a new patch. But for a post by another user, I would have missed this one.

Thanks!

Does this mean that if you are currently in a multiplayer game and are able to cast flame arrows, once you install the patch you might not be able to?

But I agree. Those changes are good ones.

No Linux PPC binary in the patch file? I hope that was unintentional

Wow, Many thanks to IW!!!

I can't wait to try the new nations! Thanks for the patch.

* Can use monthly cast multiple site search spells of the same type.

Does this mean that I can take three earth mages and have them all cast Gnome lore as a monthly ritual without having them cast it on the same province?

This is a stunning patch, in all the right ways. Especially if the site searching fix works the way I think it does (can't wait to get home and try it!)

I'll be curious to see how the Mirror Image/Glamour change affects people's thoughts on Helheim/Vanheim and who the new "uber" nation in each Age will be determined to be now that blessed 'heim units are no longer quite so butch.
