Timewarp! - Game is live!

Ahhhhh that new patch screwed me up.. I was going to use my size 6 chariots this turn to take out the elephants in a neighboring province since my chariots couldnt be trampled by them... Guess thats out the fricken window now.

Things like that make me wish current games wouldn't be patched while they were already underway as it may foul up an already planned strategy. But I suppose there are times when your happy to see changes from patches in games your playing too... This just isn't one of them...

Remember, size 6 trampling size 5 will not do much damage due to the small difference in size. I'm sure you'd still do pretty alright like that.

Not patching would seem to be the best way to go (someone was even more dismayed, as they are playing LA R'lyeh in a MP game right now), but that would force everyone to have 2 installations, and switch back and forth to do their turns, and would be a real headache for the Llamaserver (and the Beast behind it).

Actually, there are many reports that size difference does not affect damage. I have never been able to prove it one way or the other, despite what the manual says.

Hey, I've been unable to find out who is LA-Midgard... Does anyone know?




I think the bigger issues are that they fixed issues that were causing game crashing (such as our glory game). Correcting those are probably worth the headache it will cause individual players.

Well, it has seemed to me that when size 4 units get trampled by elephants, they don't really take much damage.

Also, trogs and minotaurs are both size 3, and are far less efficient at killing size 2 units, than elephants are.


And yeah, 3 of my home's neighbors have Heavy Cav. The other 3 were low pop. \/
