Yes, we will maintain backward compatibility.  But keep in mind that not all fixes will be fixed in save games (if they are data fixes your save game will still  have the bug).

I dont know if we will be doing a beta or not, probably.

Do you have an ETA on the save/load resource bug? I really can't play since I know I will get extra resources every time I have to leave the comp and I cant take a game in one sitting.

@Frogboy/Kael - could we get the AI autoraze fixed in this patch?   

 

Reply #6 from Elemental Forums Top

They seem to autoraze when it's your cities they're capturing - when they capture back cities that were theirs originally they don't seem to autoraze.

Planning on fixing the research trading bug? I see AIs with endgame technology by turn 100, it's re-friggin-diculous.

Reply #8 from Elemental Forums Top

There are a few more bugs reported, please get to them.

What is the expected release date of this patch?

Derek hi,

Is there an ETA on this patch or is the whole team pretty much swamped with the LH launch and/or beta fixing? I ask because I still want to play a massive Fallen Enchantress game with several mods I have generated, but would rather play it in 1.4...

Best, YS

and please backport anything that you are willing to from LH. ;)

How bout a status update Stardock? Those of us who got of the beta train at the Fallen Enchantress stop were wondering if you are going to continue to provide updates and whatnot. Thanks

oh, I don't mind the beta testing at all....and would gladly still do it...if it weren't for steam. But I'll hold to my convictions and miss out on a great expansion because of those convictions...can't/won't ask others to do the same.

I understand that position completely. I think I can mod some of the stuff from LH into FE... but I'm not sure how they would feel about me doing that though...

I believe I can get the tatical combat to work the same for example, but I wouldn't have the AI to counter appropriately.

This update has been advertised for a month now.  What year is it due for release?   |-)

Reply #17 from Elemental Forums Top

Frogboy said elsewhere they'll be releasing this possibly later this month. Patience.

Reply #18 from Elemental Forums Top

Also stated there will be a 1.5 for FE after release of LH.

Reply #19 from Elemental Forums Top

It's fantastic to hear we'll be getting at least one more patch out of FE, even though I'm one of the War of Magic welfare recipients, I still play WoM and I'll probably keep playing FE for a while too before I touch LH.

It's been two months with no update. Is FE dead like WOM?

not dead. Just hibernating.

If I were to guess, I'd say that SD is going to backport all the balance changes and bug fixes back to FE once LH is released.

I hope that's what they plan anyways...cause I like FE better. Well, to be fair I like almost all the new stuff they added to LH (Fame, Hero Paths, Weapon abilities) but I don't much care for their attempt at rebalancing, nor the lack of encumbrance (though that's still in the works and may turn out okay in the end) and definately don't like the additional requirement of needing steam to play.

i'm sure LH will change drastic like both WOM and Fe did. Big changes, making for many different games during 'public development' -i get that, public beta development (and enjoyed it), but the game changed so drastic, and there is no end. Eventually buy another and continue. i'll not buy LH -one for balance of finances, another for the steam req, another for being tired of looking for finish, and another for general loss of will for this IP and studio. So i got what i got and that is WOM and FE. FE ended WOM. i wonder that LH ends FE. i wonder cuz i'm tired of checking back each week. Eventually i'd like to burn the final patch to disk and assemble a bundle of the exe disk, and a few patch-updated mods, and just be done with this all. Then when the urge hits i'll give the game a fresh whorl. But will follow no more the studio and game. Done. Delivered.

I have no idea how you came up with this guess. There's no way they're going to backport balance changes to FE, that's a huge undertaking that they have no resources for.

It's a hopeful type of guess.:P

The realist in me however says that theyll chop FE off at the head and let it run around for a bit. In the end...it dies.

Sooo, now that LH is out, is FE left to the vultures?
