Anyone notice that reinforcements come from the wrong end of the battlefield? :huh:

One of the many many MANY bugs that breaks the battles. I also liked the one where reinforcements walks in one at a time.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

When facing re-enforcements I now place my infantry in a concentric circle around my artillery and my cavalry behind that circle.... it's stupid and I can't wait for them to fix it.

Never seen that one however I ment the one where a regiment forms a congaline and walks in a big line really fucking slowly.

Re: The reinforcements coming in in a stupid manner:

Quote from: April 17 Patch UpdateToday we addressed several savegame issues, and also tweaked some of the unit balancing.
We've also corrected the bug whereby reinforcements entered the battlefield from the wrong direction.

There's ongoing work on the major gameplay upgrade which incorporates all of these updates and many, many more.

Apologies for the short update today, just wanted to give you a quick overview of major issues, back to the grindstone!

Kind regards,
Kieran

P.S: Just as a reminder, although there will be work going on over the weekend, there likely won't be another update until Monday.

The official patch should be out this week or next, but in the meantime, for those with 4gb RAM or more, there's an unofficial fix out there.

It avoids most crashes.  I'm in 1750, playing France, got Britian reduced to their tiny island, Scotland and Ireland are mine, most of the Americas too (just got to finish the Cherokee Empire...).  Only Egypt and India left :)

QuoteI'd also like to take this opportunity to talk about Naval invasions if I may. The technology behind naval invasions is actually really rather heavy and is still causing some issues. The gameplay upgrade will make naval invasions possible but they will be rare. The AI now has a proper mechanism for the planning involved and can execute that mechanism when required, however increasing its frequency is a balance issue we haven't been able to get fixed in time for this upgrade. So in short, naval invasions are now possible and may occur, but they will not be frequent, which means we have to up that likelihood.

As a ray of hope to those concerned with this issue, I've seen the work we're doing on the AI for the next patch coming on leaps and bounds. There are a large amount of significant performance fixes that we're working on for the upcoming upgrade, this included. The primary purpose of the gameplay upgrade that will be released next week is to fix the AI aggression issues, remove the vast majority of game breaking crashes and tweak the unit behaviour whilst laying groundwork for naval invasions

You know, just once it'd fun to see somebody try to sue a developer for breach of warranty on an unfinished game.

You know what would also be fun? Someone shooting some of them dead for making us waste our hard earned cash for releasing something that would have earned them a good tarring and feathering in the good old days before it was assumed everyone had an online connection.

I just bought the game. I don't reckon I'll be playing it any time soon though.

I'll wait till most of the shitty bits are cleaned up

QUESTION:  Why do game review sites consistently give buggy messes score of "OMG 150/100 GREATEST GAME EVOR!!!!!111"? It only encourages game companies to continue to release unfinished products.  It is the same as if Roger Ebert saw only one reel of a movie and still gave it thumbs up and four stars without any clue what the second would be like.  :rolleyes:
