Version 0.622 is out!

[armagan]

Hi all,

Well, it seemed that version 0.621 still had a critical bug, so a version 0.622 seemed to be in order. While I was at it, I also fixed a few balancing issues. You will be able to use your old save game with this version if it was created with 0.620 or 0.621.

Mount&Blade forums are becoming more fun and active with each day. Thanks for all your wonderful messages and enthusiastic support. We had never been more motivated for working on the game.

Anyway. Here is the change log for 0.622. I hope you enjoy the new version.
---------------------------------------
Fixed Mounting invisible horses bug.
Reduced accuracy of ai archers.
Troops are upgraded one by one as long as that's possible.
You can no longer place a horse in the food slot during trading.
Character now auto-equips items after accesing baggage.
Reduced combat ai response times in "good combat ai" option. So melee combat is somewhat more challenging now.
Reduced the ratio of shield owners among archer units.
Made it more difficult to attack through friendly troops.
Increased the brightness slightly.

Three cheers for Armagan! Here's hoping that those registrations keep rolling in to inspire you to further feats of awesomeness

None of my knights / horsemen have horses anymore after upgrading. Is this intentional?

 

[armagan]

No. It's not intentional. I have specified those units a bit incorrectly. As a result only some of them will be mounted. I'll fix that in the next version. Or should I release a 0.623?

 

[Adam]

Well I have a party of 30 Vaegir Knights so I'm in favour of .623

 

[DominicWhite]

A quick .623 update sounds like a good idea to me, especially if it fixes a pretty major gameplay issue. I mean, there's no reason why not, right?

And I've got a force of 40, about half of which are Vaegir horsemen/knights, which is a bit of a problem for me too.

 

[armagan]

OK. Here's a quick fix. You can just replace the file

mount&blade/mods/native/troops.txt

With the following file:

http://st39.startlogic.com/~mountand/troops.txt

You can right click on the link above, choose "Save target as" and then save it over the existing troops.txt file. This will make all knights and horsemen have horses. Otherwise (in the current version) only some of them have horses. Sorry for such a dirty fix. It takes quite a while to prepare and upload a new version and I will be away for the weekend. Hopefully I'll make a proper new version sometime next week.

My only complaint about this update is that you can no longer mount horses after knocking somebody off of them. Is there a reason to this?

Other then that, I am completely hooked on this game .

Great, thanks. I started a new game and haven't really had a problem but my saved one no knights at all were getting them. Coincidence perhaps?

May I humbly request a mirror for this file (and maybe all later patches) elsewhere? I can't get it from this server, my computer says the server doesn't exist! I'm on a Roadrunner Austin cable connection. I was in this same situation a few days ago when I first got the game, and after 35 minutes or so of trying it worked but now it seems that won't be happening.

Make sure you have enough riding skill. For example I don't think you can knock someone off of a warhorse and then ride it if you only have 1 riding skill.

Well, a 623 update could be good... also to fix the problem when the nobles request you to capture a new troop tipe, like swadian footmen.

 

[Ravenlock]

As per usual, fantastic upgrade time, fanastic response to problems. You guys really impress the hell out of me, as does your game. I'm proud to have paid for this.

With the game this good at .622, I can only imagine where it goes before 1.0.

I installed the new version and now the game wont run. It gets to the menu but when i try to start playing i get an error sound and there is a window titled RGL ERROR. I have to crtl alt del it to get rid of it. Great game though i love playing it. It would be cool if there were ball-and-chain type weapons that could smash sheilds. Dismemberment would also be great, but i could see how it would be hard to implement. It would also be cool if you could add moves and stamina, like a magic and mana type deal, for different moves. Keep up the good work man.

 

[Blackspirit]

lol, i can hardly keep up with updates.
i'll wait for the next big one, if only big game companies could patch things this fast.

 

[Cro_Knight]

where can i download it

 

[Skree]

Will there be a version .623?

 

[Orange]

Damn you for releasing patches on days I have to do work!

..

Eh, i'll do it tomorrow.
