Slitherine

Slitherine & Hexwar are pleased to announce the release of another update for their award winning Field of Glory gaming system for PC and Mac. This update brings the game to v1.3.2 and is acessed by clicking the Check for Updates button on the main menu.

The in game updater requires v1.2.8 or later. To get v1.2.8 go to www.slitherine.com/downloads/item59

Change log v1.3.2

Fix: Issue some BG images in the Bosphoron lists.
Fix: Replaced two of the Bosporon lists with new editions. Any lists create before v1.3.2 should be deleted and built again to fix the issue DAG.
Change: More improvements to the AI terrain density selection in DAG games.
Fix:: Charge crash bug.
Fix: Ad-hoc appearance of steep hill terrain data.
Fix: Mounted Bow and Bow Star changed to be in line with the table top rules.
Fix: An issue with medieval sound effects being used for Immortal Fire DAG battles.
Change: Reduced the size and format of most help images to increase performance and browser compatibility.
Fix: Improved the upater to allow it to resume and generally deal with bad connections and other issues more cleanly.

Just a note that a full installer will be coming for this version soon for those having issue with updating. We just needed to get the version stable enough to build a patch from it. We hope to have that before the end of the week.

Iain,

Thanks for all you and your team's effort in delivering these updates. I know you guys work hard on this, and judging by some of the posts, you are seemingly working very long hours!

I look forward to the latest update when I get home.

Thanks again.

I hate to keep complaining about the Bosporan lists, but after downloading 1.3.2 all I see now is a Bosporan(early) list. Somehow this doesn't seem like much of an improvement!

It's still one list too many as far as I'm concerned!

Long live the anti-Bosporan alliance!

Post any issues to the tech support forum. I've no idea how many there are supposed to be

Since the release notes say that two Bosporan lists have been replaced, there ought to be at least 2 . Added a new note in the support forum noting that two out of three are missing (mid and late Bosporan).

I just wanted to add my voice to say thank you to all the people working on the game. You people are doing great with the updates and patches! We might not say it often enough, but those of us enjoying the game really appreciate your work.

Anyone whose tried it know what this means:

Mounted Bow and Bow Star changed to be in line with the table top rules.

I was wondering the same thing.

Please educate me, I have no idea!

My guess is mtd bow gets full effects, star bow is less potent as the unit is really only using bows a a secondary weapon, or only rear rankers flankers use the bow ???

Mounted bow should get 3 shots, mounted Bow* should only get two. Essentially mounted Bow* shoots like LH with Bow.

I thought that was already happening.

I did, too, but I'm not sure what else wasn't working correctly for these two categories. Did you see anything else off about them? Maybe incorrect POAs? (I think mounted Xbow may have POA problems, too.)

Chris

The answer is (I think) that I reported that horse bows were not getting a +1 POA vs Unprotected foot.

Seems like a clearer release note then would have been something like "Corrected POAs for mounted bows to be consistent with TT."

Much more mysterious sounding the way it is now .

Chris

I actually don't find it very helpful for any of the release notes to say that something was changed to be like the TT rules...this is the PC version and many of us are completely unfamiliar with the TT version.

Ditto.

Reference to like TT and similar is useless for those of us that have knowledge of the TT version. All help, rules, etc. should be specific and standalone on their own merits.
