Great news guys! I will check it out when I get home. Does the balance to bandit lairs add or reduce the amount? From my play time in 2.005 it could use a boost for sure.


Edit: Bandit lair funds is nice now in the update. I also posted some feedback on the banner updates and posted some fixes if you want them.

ETA? .... Thats a terrorist group here in Spain  I guess you don't mean that. What do you mean?

ETA = estimated time of arrival

So basically when is the patch going to be released officially?

funny story, a friend was once arrested for a few hours in Spain because he had his ETA membership card in the wallet. But ETA in that case was the name of a organized football fans in South America. You got be careful with the meaning of things when you travel around the world

Soon (tm)  . That depends on how many banners a guy that goes by @reiksmarshal reports as defected in the forum. Each banner adds another 24hours to the release date (jk!)

Haha ... well I was pretty helpful with my last banner report. 

I was not expecting any more major patches for performance.

Shame no patches for unloyal companions, Agathinos run away (before the 2.005 patch) and now runs around in his underpants with an army, it's funny but it's not right.

First bug I've found with the new patch.

"Congratulations you've managed to imprison seven or more lords at . you really are a true dungeon master"
Came up in the text log in red 3 times, I've only ever taken one lord prisoner in my party and never kept him anywhere.
Save game= https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxP05Kd6HCCHUldEem1vTi1FZlU

Juju70, you might be playing with the internal version. What should confirm it will be fixed in the next patch 

I'm glad it's not just me then . So it's already fixed I guess cool. A question though, what does becoming a "true dungeon master" do?

I apologize for the confusion.  I sometimes forget that slang doesn't always translate clearly.  Tip o' the hat to Reiksmarhall for clearing it up.

This is a brilliant mod, I am a huge fan of Brytenwalda and this takes it up a notch.  Excellent job all around.

With regards to what is easily one of my favorite features in this mod, the dog companion, are there any thoughts of possibly increasing the damage the dog does slightly?  I've fully upgraded my poor dog (hunting boars is a pain the a**)  and he still has only managed to take down 2 or 3 enemies that had previously been wounded.  It seems (at least to me) a Deerhound of that size should be able to do little more than occasionally worry people.
