any chance posting what changed from last beta build?

tuffgong_jamaica

great, but please fix numidian noble cavalry, they're at 1280 they don't have the courage ability, so please lower their price or something, and they have a bug when they get too close to the red line, they freeze , i tried to remove skirmish mode, they'd still freeze, you can issue ordres, but they'll just keep standing..

Good stuff. Bring on patch 13 & 14! Siege AI would be a nice fix to tackle next

Oh we can only wish.

Patch 12 is great without mods. The only thigns truly holding this game back are of course the siege mechanics (walled) and the useless and lackluster politics thing. I swear I have never even used it and it makes no difference: definition of a waste of time and effort at this point if you do use it.

Assembly kit seems to be still 12 beta?

Performance is still abysmal.

Great work CA!

All we need now is just some touching up of the siege AI and a Politics/Civil War Expansion DLC and ill be all happy

you can find it in the wiki, just look at the historical changes and compare the last 2 builds

I was in beta patch 12 before it's gone live, no download, is this normal? The game is no more called Rome 2 Patch 12 Beta, but there was no download. Did nothing change or is it a bug??

A question: any variation compared to 12 beta and its hotfixes (as of 05/02)?

I've opted out of the beta but still have the same build number, so I'm guessing no changes.

Chances are that they didn't change anything between the last beta update and the patch going live, so all that needed to be changed on your end was the title.

OT, thanks for finally making it live. Will test drive it once these blasted exams are routed

Sgt. JohnyMcChicken

That's weird, why didn't they released it after the last hotfix if nothing changed? And what's about the extra internal testing. This is one hell of a letdown, haha.

Yes it is normal. The latest beta build and the current patch 12 build are the same number: 10877.535502.

I just tried to update my mod for patch 12 and i get this error. Any ideas? 3/6 of my mod modules updated without problem, the other 3 all generate the same error.



Edit: I verified my game cache and no longer get this error.

I gotta ask WTF when it comes to the Lusitani Guerrilla. I mean they were a good solid stealth unit. Come on CA, quit melee with good units. And the armored "barbarian" infantry like the Sword Followers, Chosen Swordsmen, and Galatian Legionaries need to be a lot tougher and better fighters. They should at least be able to really bloody a freaking legionary cohort or something around the same level of troops as them. I mean they're suppose to be more professional warriors and all, so they should be able to do more damage and survive better in a fight.

Thx for the info!

Patch 12 is old Ca. We are waiting patch 13 beta.

daubert86

Is a new version of the assembly kit going to be released today?

Please answer this CA, I can see it still v12 beta although my main game is v12.

I would imagine it is so that the forum members who are using the beta can check that the hot-fix is working as intended and doesn't have any unintended side-effects.

Restarting Steam also works and it's quicker too.
