lodilefty hat im AGEOD Forum einige Hotfixes erstellt, die einige Probleme beheben, bis der nächste offizielle Patch erscheint. Hier ist ein cumulativer Hotfix, der sie alle zusammenfasst.

http://www.ageod.com/forums/showthread. ... #post95940

To address:

• Merchant Attrition: found to be from harsh weather [Snow, Frozen, Blizzard]
• Error in 1812 Events: Cochrane's Fleet [seen as multiple Cochranes]
• Sea Lanes in the Halifax neighborhood - corrected paths taken to port
• Script errors [unit types] in 1755 Campaign {Spanish Fleet}
• Error in 1755 Campaign event: Cherokee War
• Tracks terrain missing from certain regions in 1755 series, Dunmore's War
• Burgoyne moves too slowly!
• British in South event in 1775-76 campaigns was including Florida

= Apply ONLY over patch 1.01d

080730

= Changes to all 4 Merchant Models:

BaseCohLoss = 0
BaseAttrition = 0

= New weather zone for Shipping Lanes [and Europe]

No possibility of harsh weather in Shipping Lanes

= Corrected Fleet Unit types in 1812 Cochrane's Fleet
= NavalInterdiction links added to Halifax region to block shipping from Bay of Fundy

080801:

= Corrected Cherokee War entry event for 1755 Campaign
= Burgoyne [1775] no longer has Slow Mover ability
= Added tracks to varios regions [1755, 56 Montacalm, 56 Roi Louis, 59 Annus Mirablis, 1774 Dunmore's War]
= 1755 Campaign - corrected Spain at War: Spansh Fleet units
= American Revolution series: British in South event no longer counts units in Florida [Sumter, Marion appear]

Notes:

• Merchant losses from privateers and other sea battles will still occur.
• Attrition and Cohesion losses will still occur for new merchants when moving.
  {This should work OK with saved games, but wll not recover 'already lost' fleet strength.}
• Event correction will only be effectve if you restore game to previous turn
• Sea Lanes correction will be effective upon completely exiting and restarting the Wars in America game

To Install:

1. Download the attached file
2. Extract into your Wars in America folder
3. Answer "yes" to overwrite [if you are not asked, you are in the wrong place!]

Have Fun!
Play safely! :king:

Ich habe da allerdings ein kleines Problem. Ich installiere Patch 1.2b und gebe als Sprache "Deutsch" an. Dadurch erhalte ich zwar das Handbuch auf Deutsch, aber das Spiel selbst, die Buttonbeschriftung, Szenariobeschreibung - einfach alles - bleibt englisch.
Muss ich noch irgendetwas machen?

*edit*
Ich sehe gerade, in den Änderungen zu 1.02b steht auch nur "Added german manual". Also wird der Rest noch nachkommen...

Nein, der Rest ist schon da. Habt Ihr mal in das Options-Menu geschaut, ob dort die Sprachauswahl aktviert ist, m.a.W. könnt Ihr dort die Sprache umstellen?

Im Spiel selbst? Nein, da kann ich nichts umstellen. Ich habe auch bisher nur Patch 1.02b installiert, normalerweise sollte man 1.01 nicht benötigen, richtig? Na, ich probiere mal eine Neuinstallation.

*edit*
Nun, automatisch hat es nicht funktioniert, ich musste in der 'General.opt' den Wert für Language auf 3 setzten, seitdem läufts.

Mhh, dann müsst Ihr die Sprache wohl in der general.opt von Hand umstellen.

Könnt Ihr mir bitte mitteilen, was bei der Neuinstallation rauskommt? Wenn der Fehler bestehen bleibt, sag ich es Hok.

[Tex_Murphy]

Auch bei Neuinstallation keine Änderung. Ich habe auch vorher den 1.01d installiert - man weiß ja nie.
Erst durch Änderung der General.opt funktioniert es.

Oh, wenn ihr schon Fehler meldet: Im Optionsmenü unter "System" gibt es in der deutschen Version einen Optionshaken ohne Text, und unter "Medien" ist der text ganz links unten zu lang und wird daher abgeschnitten.

Fixed: Subfactions suffered CP penalty when in stacks without leaders. Now extra CP only if 'mixed' factions in stack without leader, or if in stack without a leader from that faction or 'multi-faction'leader.
Fixed: AI had some funtions erroneously disabled

Changes/Corrections:

• Corrected spelling of Cannon from Canon is several locations [English text only]
• All campaigns: the EP earned in Shipping Boxes by merchants is now 40% of what is was in 1.05
• The chance of Death in Combat for Leaders increased. Compared to 1.05 and earlier: 1 star 3x, 2 star 2x, 3 star same
• Cohesion and Attrition losses reduced somewhat during movement in Harsh Terrain and Harsh Weather
• All leaders are now promotable, except Indians and the Pontiac War leaders
• Leaders with the Skirmisher ability now use Superior Tactician instead [Skirmisher is a unit ability, S.T. is for the Group]

1775/76 Campaign

• Loyalty values at start revised in most of the 13 Colonies to better reflect historical attitudes
• General revision of relacements. "Free" replacements reduced in quantity and frequency, Options replacements cheaper and more readily available
• Burgoyne's Canadian Army event for the Human player delayed to April at earliest, to avoid being trapped in a late Blizzard at sea
• AI gets a free depot in Montreal, if owned
• The 'value' of Philadelphia as the USA capital reduced [NM loss ewhen captured by GBR was 25, now is 5] [May not be effective in saved games from 1.05 or earlier]

• George Washington appears as 4 star leader, to avoid rare instance where Charles Lee gets promoted and has higher seniority
• A new event in 1775 will help the British AI evacuate Boston. This event will not work properly in saved games from a previous version.
