Patch 3.24 - Thank you IW!

[Sombre]

On the one hand: Thanks for the patch. Awesome that you still support dom3 this far on.

On the other: Least interesting patch so far? I can't see a single thing in there that will make any difference to me. Hmm, maybe the spell AI.

Thanks for the patch, it's good to know the Pantokrator is still thinking to us from time to time.

Least interesting? Yeah I guess they could have waited until it had more features.

* Units with the uwdamage attribute now actually takes damage from being under water.
* Spell AI improved regarding when to cast Arrow Fend, Gift of Flight, Legions of Steel.
* Djinn is now a unique monster.

Useful. Even if the Djinn thing is more of a "ahh rats, they fixed it"

* increased maximum number of messages a player can send on a given turn.
* Fixed crash during turn generation.
* Eliminated nations are now also shown in the graphs.

Big happiness on each of those.

* Support for PulseAudio on linux.
* New resolution 1024*576 (for netbooks).
* New resolution 1024*600 (for netbooks).
* Dominions could crash when changing video preferences, fixed

more like overlap with the new project but it will please some people. Nice of him to think of us and come back to include it.

Way cool!
Interesting note on:
* Eliminated nations are now also shown in the graphs.

Even in games you are already playing, the first host you do with the new patch in place will put eliminated nations back into the score charts. It fills in all their past data so apparently it did remember it all along, just wasnt showing it till now.

At least it did for me. Solo game that started with 92 nations. Makes the score graphs much more interesting.

I have no reason to think it would be different for MP and/or Server games.

[Krec]

92 nations wow!! now thats a game. i would like to see that graph.

Since the game is now available in DD form, I'm assuming those who purchase the DD version will not be required to have the CD in the drive to launch the game. If this is true, will those who own the CD version be receiving a patch that removes the CD check?

[WraithLord]

What CD check???

That's weird. I remember having to take my CD with me on the road 6-9 months ago with my laptop in order to launch the game on it, but I can now launch the game without the CD on my desktop. Has this game never used a CD check? If so, I may be losing my mind.

[Edi]

There's never been a CD check on Dominions as far as I know. I've never needed it and I've played Dominions since Dom1 and almost all patch incarnations along the way.

Thank you, developers!
Now, if Vanarus and/or EA/LA Machaka come around...
