Ver 1.74 patch with Balance Mod?

Dogboy · #1 June 10th, 2008, 09:28 PM

I'm about to start a new game using the balance mod on the pbw web site.

Just noticed that http://www.malfador.com/ announced patch 1.74. 1.74 does not yet appear on PBW and I'm not sure when it will. Any idea? Also, I'm not sure whether it will be compatible with Balance Mod v1.14a.

Is it safe to apply the 1.74 patch or should we stick with 1.71?

Thanks,
DB

Kwok has just released a patch for Balance Mod v1.14b to go with SEV v1.74.

I never expect patches and mods to come online at PBW in less than two weeks, but Geo routinely surprises me by getting them up sooner than that.

Thanks. We'll hold off until we see it appear on PBW. As a general rule, do patches and Balance Mod updates go smoothly, or would be be wise to wait a few weeks to see how they fare?

Assuming the SE5 patches don't introduce bugs, it's usually quite fine.

What I'd like to see is some more shipsets/races adapted to the Balance mod. Has anyone written an new AI compatible with the Balance Mod for any 3rd party shipsets?
