FIIIRRRSTTT P----

YES I am so excited about the changes to lancing and archer-stomp-upon syndrome being dealt with. Turn camera with horse in 1st person did not seem to have any effect in the last patch...does it work now??

EDIT:

Yes, version 0.720 is out. The full installer's upload has not finished yet. But the downloads will be much faster from now on because we have a brand new download server!

THANKYOU so much, I was getting so depressed waiting 6 hours for an update patch to finish downloading.

turning interrupt's couch lancing? Hmmm, could solve a lot of the issues, but it also might have some consequences

 

[The Shadow]

Looking forward to playing. 

 

[RealMephisto]

yeah, like cav ppl complaining

 

[Faranox]

This should be interesting! Couching is a hot topic, as always.

 

[ScientiaExcelsa]

Great!  Hopefully whatever was changed graphically will stop frying my video card and shutting my computer down.

Sweet!

Ranged troops are now stunned when bumped only if they are readying ther weapons.

Awesome!

 

[JohnnyG]

I can't download 0.720 - it says the link is broken. Any idea if this is a temporary thing?  The update link seems to work.

Thanks.

 

[Faranox]

Quick Battle disabled?

We'll see how it works in practice. It's good to try new things like this, though.

 

[CryptoCactus]

Squeeeeee, I'm so excited whenever a new patch rolls out.


(And yes, I just squee'd like a little girl. Bite me. )



Now I just have to get off work... and hope the stupid snow hasn't knocked my power out when I get home. >_>

Im a cav person and I wont be complaining ^^. The only people who complain will be the couch spammers.

The change to couching has rendered half my little horse tricks obsolete, but I'll adapt.  The only problem with it that I foresee is that it'll make cavalry even more impotent in a head-on encounter.  I would've preferred a change to how fast you can switch your lance from one side of the horse to the other.

However, this has the potential to make horse-n-sword loadouts more prevalent, and that's a good thing.  It's one of the most challenging and rewarding fighting styles.
