Info: New update on the progress page

[Zeldor]

There was some talk about MA Vanarus. But yes, it'd be nicer to have EA Machaka before that, especially with reserved spot for them already.

It could be nice break for KO to do 2 or more nations, he can't work on the new project all the time :P

And can we get Crumble, poison archers, caves and AI spellcasting [AI ignoring scripted spells to cast Vortex of Returning isntead] fixed?

P.S. I'd really really love a blacklist of spells that a mage is not allowed to cast during battle, even if it's 1-5 spells big. Barskin under Fire Storm?

[Graeme Dice]

I'd like to see missiles fixed so that shields don't render even armour piercing and armour negating ones useless myself.

[Ferrosol]

Perhaps an LA Machaka could be based on the Zulu's? you know with Impis as soldiers armed with short spears but I have no idea what sort of magic or summons you could give them. Although that said according to wikipedia they believed in ancestor worship and that diviners and herbalists were a major part of their religion. So perhaps some Death Nature and Astral mages?

More notes on the updates page. Mostly little stuff.

(and NO there is no estimate on when the next patch will actually be released)

* Battles caused by random events are now resolved at the end of the random event step. This should fix any problems with barbarians attacking a sieging army due to bad luck.

If this means that battles caused by random events are fought before movement, then this is a major change in mechanics. I can see all sorts of problems arising from this - like an unfortunate "teleporting" indy attack that wastes your gems before a big battle.

* Mighty Yari was incorrectly a missile weapon, fixed.
* Yogini was not a female, fixed.
* Some units got wrong type of names, fixed
* Horse Brothers had switched pictures with their commander, fixed.
* Tribal King now has a javelin instead of a sling, just like in the picture.
* Burned down lab/temple event messages while sieged now go to the sieged player.
* Battles caused by random events are now resolved at the end of the random event step. This should fix any problems with barbarians attacking a sieging army due to bad luck.
* The Blood Keep site now gives a mountain citadel instead of a swamp city.
* Many more sites can now be found in cave provinces.

Oh I wish IW would one day enhance F1 screen.
Simple touches would go a lot towards reducing late game MM.
some examples:

1. Show full unit order when hovering mouse over order. like:
X casts teleport at
and the at part always gets left out

2. Allow to jump to commander from F1 and returning to him when pressing F1 again. Instead of having to find him again in the list (try that, repeatedly, with ~100 provinces empire)

3. Same for jumping to province X from F1 screen

I won't even mention more elaborate enhancements. Just this bit would make many players quite happy I think.

[Gandalf Parker]

Have you ever hit tab while in the F1 screen?
Its not what you wanted but its awfully handy

[WraithLord]

yeah, I'm aware of the tab key. It's ok but not what I'd like to see

[Rookierookie]

I will not object to a Rename Province option...
