Here is a small patch for Field of Glory just before Christmas. The main purpose is to fix a bug with the passworded private games but we threw in a few extras too.

Download the patch from http://www.slitherine.com/files/fog/fie ... h_1.03.exe

* The length of passwords in private games has been limited to 16 characters. This is the maximum the system can handle but the game was incorrectly allowing you to set it longer and then a bad error message reported it was too short causing general confusion. Now it is all fixed.
* New scenario - The Battle of Lyginus River 335 B.C.
* Non-shock foot no longer pursue mounted.
* Shock foot no longer pursue mounted on passing a complex move test.
* Battle wagons and artillery will now never pursue.
* Some mounted troops were gaining swordsmen capability when not so armed and this has been fixed.

This patch is compatible with all versions of Field of Glory from Slitherine or Matrix (v1.00 to 1.02).

Wow. A good thing gets even better. Thanks Slitherine.

Thanks!

Please keep adding scenarios...

A great surprise after getting home from the salt mines.
Thanks Slitherine!

nice work - thanks!

The patch has also fixed the inaccuracies in the Indian Army units and decreased the amount of anarchy in the Indians too.
Good stuff

Although it can be a little disconcerting in the middle of an ongoing game to discover that your troops have suddenly been re-equipped All in all the patch seems to be well worthwhile.

In multiplayer, I can see a private challenge to the battle of Elis... which isn't on my list of possible battle scenarios. Am I witnessing a new version in the making?
