Okay, so if the next patch corrects the costs of some troops in some lists (e.g., in Thracians), what will happen with those armies if they have on-going battles set at, say, 500pts? Will those battles be able to be played or will the game somehow know that the army is now illegally over the 500pts??

Troop values are always calcultaed on loading an army. So if a 495 point army becomes 505 because of a fix then it will no longer be a valid 500 army but a simple edit fixes that.

In the next patch there we have incorporated a validator that we built for the scenario editor. So any troops with incorrect weapons will always be fixed on loading an army. So for example if a battle group was built in the editor with Offensive Spear and Swords it will get changed to Offensive Spears automatically. There are dozens of such check in the validator. These checks will also apply to a DAG army build using a list with such an error as well.

Loading and saving any DAG army will always permanently fix any such errors, troops types or points costs.
