version 1.07a - Big thanks to all volunteers, and most notably Lodilefty for their amazing work and support. :love:

==============================================================================
BOA2 : War in America version 1.07
April 1, 2010
==============================================================================
This patch contains all changes since version 1.00b

******************************************************************************************************************
Note: Key commands and features added at patch 1.04

- New sentry orders:
SPACE: In sentry for one turn.
CTRL+SPACE: In sentry until 90% healed.

Reminder:
S: Permanent Sentry (until moving or attacked) (hit again S or SPACE to remove the sentry state)
CTRL+S: Remove all Sentry status on map.
C: Center on the selected unit
SHIFT+C: Center on the destination of the unit.
H: Put directly the selected force in structure, if some available in the region.

- You can ALT-left-click on a force tab to rename it. Some Armies with Leaders can't be renamed though.

- New Region finder. Works with CTRL+F
******************************************************************************************************************
==================================================================================================================
Note: Under some conditions, Depot Build may consume partial strength supply units.
To be safe, separate the two supply units [must have 4 elements each and be 50% strength] for depot build command
==================================================================================================================
Note: 'Supply Filter' colors are now:
Green = Net Supply supply above demand
Orange = Net supply available = 0
Red = Net Supply in deficit to demand
==================================================================================================================
******************************************************************************************************************
Note:
Units attempting to load land units onto ships and sail away [either in port or loading onto adjacent ships at sea] must have 'evasive move' set on if enemy troops are present in any form. Failure to set 'evasive' in presence of the enemy will abort the loading process, and ships will sail away without the units.
******************************************************************************************************************


==================================================================================================================

Wie ändert man den die Sprache im Spiel?
Ich habe den neuen Patch installiert, aber das Spiel läuft noch immer in englischer Sprache.

Entweder die Sprache im Optionsmenü ändern oder per Hand in der General.opt:

In Programme/RoP/RoP/Settings/General.opt öffnen und wie folgt ändern:

von

2. *** General interface choices ***
// language (0: English; 1: Francais; 2: Espanol; 3: Deutsche)
Language = 0
ThirdLanguage = -1

in

2. *** General interface choices ***
// language (0: English; 1: Francais; 2: Espanol; 3: Deutsche)
Language = 3
ThirdLanguage = 3

[Andhur]

Vielen Dank!


EDIT: Zu früh gefreut. Habe die Sprache "per Hand" auf Deutsch gesetzt. Leider ist das SPiel immer noch in englisch...

Im Optionsmenü, also im Spiel, habe ich leider keine Funktion gefunden, mit der ich die Sprache ändern konnte.

[Alith Anar]

Habt Ihr auch den aktuellen Patch drauf ?
Das spiel ist erst im nachhinein von einigen Forenmitglieder eingedeutscht worden.

Habt Ihr das Spiel nach dem Ändern der general.opt neugestartet?

Ansonsten noch einige Fragen:

Welche Version wird im Startbildschirm unten rechts angezeigt?

Falls die aktuelle Versionsnummer dort steht: Könnte es sein, dass Ihr das Spiel unter Vista installiert habt?

[Andhur]

Das Spiel habe ich nach dem Ändern der general.opt neugestartet.
Die aktuelle Versionsnummer wird angezeigt (1.07b).
Das Spiel ist unter Vista installiert.

Unter Vista verhindert das UAC System das korrekte Installieren der Patches. Es gibt zwei Wege dieses Problem zu lösen:

(1) UAC deaktivieren: http://www.winfaq.de/faq_html/Content/t ... ip2151.htm und danach den Patch nochmal installieren.

oder

(2) Das Spiel nicht im Standard-Ordner "Programme" installieren, sondern bei der Installation einen anderen Order (z.B. C:\Rise of Prussia\) auswählen und nach der Installation den Patch installieren.

[Andhur]

Danke dooya. Das probiere ich gleich mal aus.

EDIT: Hat super geklappt. Danke nochmals.

Patch 1.08 wurde veröffentlicht:

Dear Players,

After a too long waiting, here is at last the link to official patch 1.08.

Should major problems remain, this patch will be reissued with same version number and link.

http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/WIA_Patch.zip


BOA2 : War in America patch 1.08

March 12, 2011
==============================================================================

Major Changes:
* You no longer assault structures if you are still moving, you only assault them if you have stopped moving (the region of the structure is your destination or you don't move at all) UNLESS your ROE is also 'all out attack'. Both the assault posture and ROE tooltips have been updated to explain that to the player.
This is to prevent serious problems for the AI... This has been observed in several of the AGE games with unexpected assaults from the AI... She wants to assault region X, but in the end it happens she will before assault region Y and more often than not: ... bloodbath...
* AutoGarrison is now using Advanced version (see AGE Wiki: http://www.ageod.net/agewiki/The_Auto-garrison_feature ).

Additions/Fixes
* Corrected txt desccription for "Master Logistician" to state he must command the stack to be effective.
* Added Siege parameter sieSurrenderModEndangered.

* Merged all GamePlay settings into one single GameLogic.opt settings file to make finding a given rule easier
{replacing files: Bombard&Blockade&Siege.opt, Cohesion&Attrition.opt, Combats.opt, Control&Retreat.opt, EngagementPts.opt, Reserve.opt, ROE.opt}
{modifying file: GameRules.opt}
* Improvement in the Retreat after combat formula to take into account OMBs with large number of links.
* Fixed the bug of structures not completed at setup. It affected all setups generated between October 1st (roughly) and now, for all games.
* Deciding who is the winner or loser of a particular battle is now more accurate and will use 'Battle Points' granted for particular situations or damages done to opponent.
* A turn without an ORD (to save the map focus) would be loaded using a map focus of 0/0, or the last map focus used. Fixed.
* The small ² key used to bring console should be valid on all keyboards now (hopefully, can't test)
* Units in structures in regions that don't have any cityscape structures are now expelled each turn.
* Home Area bug fixed
* Fixed Depot build by Transport Ships bug (appeared in RC9)
*there is a more detailed tooltip on the entrench level icon

* Now creating Units.cached, to speed up game load

Map
* Increased travel time by ships to Hudson Bay (Beware: it will be a very long trip in harsh weather!)

* Added notification message for GBR Crown Point bateaux build event in 1758-59

* Corrected 56 Moncalm event where Angoumois reinforcements attempt to arrive in blocked regions (New Orleans, French West Indies)

1755 Campaign COL variant
* Activated Advanced AutoGarrison for FRA and GBR in Cities, Settlements and Stockades
* Corrected "destruction of cities" bug
* Many "frontier" Cities and Forts converted to Stockades and Settlements
* Harbor added at Oriskany (head of navigable waters)

[Alith Anar]

und ich ahb mir gerade gestern noch mal die aktuelle Version runtergeladen beim durchsortieren meiner Daten auf dem SAN

[Kurfürst Moritz]

Ist ein Save noch nutzbar, wenn ich das neueste Patch drüberbügle?

[dooya]

Ist ein Save noch nutzbar, wenn ich das neueste Patch drüberbügle?

Das dürfte davon abhängen, mit welcher Version das Savegame erstellt würde.

[Kurfürst Moritz]

Mit der Version, die es grade bei GG gratis gibt (mit dem Code vom Paradox-Forum).
Vermutlich ist das die 1.07.

Patch Version wird im Startbildschirm angezeigt (in einer der 4 Ecken). Von 1.07 nach 1.08 sollten die Savegames kompatibel sein, denn andernfalls befände sich ein entsprechender Hinweis im Patch-Log.

ist dies auch bei win7 der fall?

Sehr wahrscheinlich
