We have a little treat for you all!

A new map pack containing 10 new user scenarios that can be used in multiplayer and a couple of fixes for existing scenarios.

Download your map pack from http://www.slitherine.com/files/fog/map ... _map_1.exe

Enjoy!

Cool! And just in time for the weekend!

Great news thanks very much.

Please remember both players must have the map pack or it will crash!

Thanks. Does that apply to all games or just the new and fixed scenarios (which are the latter btw).

It applies to all scenarios but the server would have forced you to grab previous patches with all our maps in. The only difference this time is that we have not made a code update in this patch as we are trying to finish up Rise of Rome. This means we cant force you to update before you log in!

Nice surprise! Much appreciated.

And of course a big thanks to the authors of those scenarios for their hard work - well done.

The existing scenarios listed with revised OBs listed in the download area are:

Carrhae 53BC
Dertosa 215BC

My question is how will downloading and installing the map pack affect any ongoing games using either of these scenarios.

As a separate question, will the new scenarios included in the map pack cause a problem for users who already have a custom version of the scenario installed from before they were added to the pack?

Thank you Sltherine and the thank you to all the designers!

So far I've only tried the Great Plains scenario and won comfortably as Carthage - who won in reality... or is it a fictional battle?

A little bit of feedback: There are a few typos in the descriptions of the battles, and the one designed by Ignacio Arrizabalaga has the suffix (AI) which probably should be (IA).

How do you issue a challenge & avoid acceptance by someone who has down dl this? I've already slipped up & got 3 games trapped this way as the opponent doesn't have the scenario d'loaded.

Unfortunately that isn't part of the system currently, but we are working on integrating that specific feature. For now we'll need to rely on people being a little savvy.

Hopefully everyone will download it - it is free

Cheers

Well my offer of Magnesia has been accepted by someone who has it so that's good. A great freebie & thanks to all the designers as well.

Thanks for the scenarios. Very enjoyable. The game's editor alone made it worth buying. Thanks Slitherine.

I love it! Thank you very much!

Thanks for the scenarios! I've been collecting many user made scenarios and it's nice to see them being made "official". Hope this is an indicator of the future. Thanks again.

I noticed a problem in the largest scenario, the one in Sicily between Pyrrhus and the Carthaginians. In the scenario description for Lilybaeum, it states that although Pyrrhus was outnumbered, his elite pike units still managed to rout the Carthaginians. However, in the actual scenario Pyrrhus has no elite units at all... every unit is average! Also, Carthage not only outnumbers you but also has some superior troops

In fairness, the scenario in question seems pretty well balanced, even with the Pyrrhics having only average pikes.
