Update To Version 3.08 Of Dominions 3 Today!

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?

Yep. Awesome!

[Jazzepi]

Does this exclude provinces that have already been level 4 (or higher) site searched by a normal mage?

I assume that everything else in the site-searching will be the same.
Can anyone verify?
It will exclude provinces that have been searched (to any level.) What about provinces being searched that turn? (Probably not.)

It will exclude capitals. (Actually it currently sometimes searches capitals and excludes other provinces for obscure reasons. Hopefully, now that all site searching can be done with monthly casting, it'll be easier to detect a pattern.)

It'll be interesting to see if some of the other weirdnesses , mostly involving taking or losing provinces, have been addressed.

I can confirm that the bug where you could get a save file where right clicking on a province ended the turn is fixed, even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes. My very fun game is playable again, hooray! Thanks Illwinter and the testing crew.

Really awesome, especially about the Heim-nerf, except still no Fomorians... I want my nasty evil giants! ah well, maybe next time

[JaydedOne]

An earlier post from K.O. makes it sound like the Fomorians will likely be popping up very quickly after this patch.

Good news. What I'd like to know is: Will it still hose a 3.06 server if I try to connect with a 3.08 client to it like it did last time? Or is there some kind of backward compability now that the client just gets a warning "your version number is too high"? There have been lots of accidents like that last time when people had to juggle different patch levels depending on the server they wanted to connect to...

Yes it will hose it up

Oh _goody_. Still no bloody Tab-research toggle, and for some reason, Windows user are stuck with a bleeding .exe file instead of a _SAFE_ .zip file which the other platforms have.

With the greatest irritation in the game still there, I'm getting disgusted.

Joining the disgruntled Cainehill:

LE C'tis apparently *still* can't summon Tomb Wyrms. That's been broken going on a couple of patches now. You'd think that stuff that *used to* work and got broken along the way would be fixed by now.
