NEXT PATCH ?

[AP514]

Well guys can you give a time frame for the next PATCH ? and what fixes might we see...?

[RebBugler]

We're working on it, but as with all NSD patches, you'll just have to wait for specifics of content and date of arrival. I can say it's got some very nice improvements.

Patch for what? ACW?

No sir, sorry.

There are no plans to further patch that game engine.

With new functionality, the next patch will introduce a totally rebuilt Grog Toolbar. This new design features ONE toolbar, enabled for all resolutions, and the elimination of the unit type tabs.

[AP514]

Yes but what was fixed from the original ??

are formations better ? have the conga lines been addressed ? How about the bunching up of troops?(kind of reminds me of total war where it is 1 big mob sometimes)
