Breakings news from Tartarus!
The Celestial General of Shinuyama and the Worm of Atlantis have sued the Pretender of C`tis for constantly occupying the Tartarian elevator!
In the words of the celestial General of Shinuyama: "Now I have to use the stairs, did you ever try to use the stairs out of Tartarus? Its such a long way up! And I am limping! Thankfully, I found a Black Halberd in my behind which I now use as a crutch..."
Meanwhile, Atlantis Great Worm has a problem of other kinds, with both halves of him now claiming to be the real Pretender! Stay tuned as a civil war of worm half vs. worm half may erupt in Tartarus!

Ulm News, Fair and Heavy!

Whoa, I've done nothing wrong- I have a V.I.P (very important pretender) pass for that elevator. And I haven't died in at least 3 turns. These dead pretenders complain to much- "ooh, I got a black halberd up me arse", cry me a river. This one time, I got bludgeoned to death by creepy-druid-tentacle-trees; yea, try sitting down after that! So, anyone else want to reminisce about previous deaths....oh wait, you guys cant... because your not all awesome and immortal like me!

Whaaa???!!!!!!



CBM 1.84 has lost its mind... no wonder his knights chewed through my troops. Two broadsword attacks and two hoof attacks every turn???!!!!

Yea, it's a bug that affects a number of troops in CBM 1.84. I actually posted about it a few weeks ago: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=47746
There is a link to the patched version of CBM in that thread, though we cant fix anything in this game, since we have already started.

I'm mostly using unicorn knights which don't seem to have the same bug. I'm happy to stop making those normal knights altogether if they are some sort of cheat.

fishworm would have looked awfully silly in a pair of socks.

I suppose I could wear a sock on each head.

Protection 17 and defence 17 is quite nice also :-)

Now this is interesting:

"I'm taking the very unusual step of changing the mods on the LlamaServer, which means that all players also need to update their copies of the mods."

This might explain some bizarre behavior. If LLamaserver is using the corrected version of the mod, and we're all using the broken version, then our battle replays will show the knights chewing up everything in sight but on the main server the battle will run a bit more fair.

I'm going to check the zip file in that link and see what it does.

-------------------------------------------

Well, I can confirm that with the replacement 1.84 mod the save file does load. I'll let you know next turn whether Man's knights behave properly (I assume they will attack my troops instead of sitting idly inside their sieged castle)

[jimbojones1971]

From memory, when the replay differs from the server version of the battle, the outcome from the server battle is the one that actually takes effect - is this correct?
