When do you expect to start allowing downloads? (Whines in anticipation)

About 6pm GMT.

Just a note - we are using a new system for installers. Because of teh complexity of FoG and the army packs and having it all work if you have some, all or none of them with the basic game we've had to rethink how the installer works.

In future all army packs will come with a patch. You must install the patch before you install the army pack. Army packs will not install unless you have installed the required patch.

Today we will be releasing v 1.2.5 of FoG. You will need to install this before installing Storm of Arrows. Previously we combined the patch inside Rise of Rome, but this will cause issues for people goinf forwards. E.g. If you patch to v1.2.5 and then bought Rise of Rome, it would revert you to v 1.1.0, and you would have to patch again to 1.2.5. We have separated all content related to the army packs in separate installers that are stand alone and do not effect the version number.

Sorry for any confusion but in the long run it will make everyones lives much simpler

Downloading 1.2.5 now.

Does this patch restore Beta testers to the normal multiplayer Server or will this take place when the final SoA version is downloaded?

Answered my own question. As mentioned in another thread, after downloading 1.2.5 I can't get back on the server because I don't have an SoA serial no.

As soon as you install SoA you will be back online. If you can't wait - delete your SOA.txt file from the install folder and you should be fine.

Yes, that works. Thanks Iain
