Default upcoming v1.10 patch

Hey all,

I just wanted to let you all know that a patch is in the works and it takes into account much of the feedback we've gotten from people who've played the Land of Legends demo. In fact, every feature included in the patch was requested by someone, and we feel like you guys are going to love the improvements in this patch.

Our plan was to have this patch available when the game shipped on Sept 21, but it's become apparent we'll need a few more days to get everything in there that we want, and to make sure it's solid.

For those of you who are curious, this is the change list as of now, and it will be a bit bigger before the patch is released:

Changes in v1.10:
BUGFIX: Changed the 'Create a new account' URL in the login screen to the actual (not redirecting) page.
BUGFIX: Fixed a problem in Gnome2 and Orc3 causing the capitol to not properly be selected at the beginning of each turn.
NEW SKIRMISH/INTERNET MAPS: Crater Lake, Twin Peaks
USABILITY: Attacking units are highlighted with the skill icon, and targeted units with the shield, after each action ability.
USABILITY: Units now fade out on the game map, with a skull & crossbones over them, when they are killed.
USABILITY: All units now show their unspend animation simultaneously, rather than sequentially. (This speeds up phase effects.)
USABILITY: A new checkbox has been added to the options menu to allow battle animations to be skipped.
USABILITY: Clicking anywhere on the game board will dismiss the objectives popup in campaign mode.
USABILITY: A map grid can now be optionally displayed. There is a new checkbox in the options menu for this.
USABILITY: Pressing Escape key while unit is speaking in campaign mission now skips all unit speech until player has control.
USABILITY: 'E' key is now the same as if you had clicked on the 'End Turn' button. (only works when clicking on button would work.)
USABILITY: 'G' key toggles game map grid on and off.
USABILITY: 'D' key now is the same as hitting the 'unDo' button.
USABILITY: Tab key now cycles through friendly unspent units.
USABILITY: 'Q' key now cycles through friendly cities where units can be built.
USABILITY: Space bar simulates a double-click on the selected cell, for purposes of beginning movement for a unit or buying a unit on a city. (actually, it's always done this, but was never announced.)
USABILITY: Escape key now counts as clicking 'Cancel' in all popups that have a 'Cancel' button, or counts as clicking 'okay' otherwise.
USABILITY: Escape key now counts as clicking 'Cancel' in the buy menu.
USABILITY: Space key and Enter key now count as clicking 'Okay' in all popups. (though space key doesn't dismiss popups where you type stuff in.)
USABILITY: Space key and Escape key now end battle animations when they're pressed.
USABILITY: Cleaned up some other misc. keyboard code to make it act more intuitively.
CHANGES: Various spelling and grammar errors were corrected.

If you'd played the beta and gave us feedback, you'll notice that we've acted on that feedback to give you the best game possible.

We definitely appreciate your suggestions, and think you've helped make Land of Legends an even better game. =)

The changes rocks!! The patch makes the game much more enjoyable to play. Good job on it!!! I like the short keys and the grid the best. Also thanks for listening and speeding up the little task that made LOL less fun.

Will the ability to save games be included in this patch?

Yep. You can play-by-mail (or ansychronously), save campaigns, but internet games cannot be saved.

Oh, yeah, Andre's right. I can't believe I missed the patch notes for save games! That's the biggest feature!

Just to be clear, we will offer save game functionality for both campaign missions and (hotseat or vs AI) skirmishes.

2 players can then run their own play-by-mail game by emailing the progressive save files back and forth to each other.
