Hi, beta installed an tryed.
Start scenario, Mongols ilkanids (AI), Crusaders (me).
The game worked fine.
I've particurarly apprecied the new evading choise...
Tested on AI (units can evede first time, units never evandig second time), the option worked fine.
I've apprecied the possibility of change front for units after the moviment (very important for shooting units).

I haven't recieved an email so I guess I'm not in the beta. I wonder why as I been in every beta to date. I thought maybe it's because I hadn't pre-purchased but see that there is no option to do so. Is it too late to let me in?

Great, a good way to end a psss day hehehe.

Download the beta and install it, what i can say, units looks great, i find then a liitle more... shining??? i feel it les dark hehehe, the meny for scens is much better with more space for the battle details

And now the bad boys, bugs hehehe, the Manzikert scen is break, in side one there is no leaders

Oooo a little observation, i test the new evade feature and works fine but find something that maybe could be a problem, when you select a different evade role for an unit appear the icon that show to you if evade all the time or stand, well, the problem is that in shoot units (archers fore example) you miss the bow icon over this units, of course you need know what type of units you have in the battlefield but in big battles mistakes could be present... is possible show the bow icon under the evasion icon???

Well, when i have more time i continue testing it but game looks great

Manzikert is fixed as part of the next update. Already posted about the evade option for non-evaders. Please key an eye on the Beta planned updates thread for what has already been addressed by other testers.
Thanks

Keith

I think that open treaths to cover different bugs is interesting, i open one for images problems... is good try to kill this bugs early because they can survive hehehe.

PD: for the moment with new feature dont find any problem... i need to start testing it in extrange situations

Mameluk Egyptian Army 1340AD to 1399 has Halga troops listed but the limit is 0-0...can't choose any...

Only played a couple of games so far but loving the new evade features....I posted some issues with Invisible Mongol Archers in another forum.

Hi guys, please where is the link for preorder?
Thanks.

We dont have a system to accept them yet - we're planning to offer a discount to early adopters like we used for pre-orders to make up for it.

Post by **IainMcNeil** » Wed Nov 24, 2010 6:12 pm

Thanks for all your help. The beta is now over and the game is being prepared for final release in a few days time!
