Release notes so far:
The download includes the updated EXE, updated .ged database files and .tpj table files, and an excerpt of the updated Game Manual with the setups and corrected minor morale values for both the classic EIA and alternate EIH versions.Empires in Arms the Napoleonic Wars - 1.25.00
=============================================
- Minor country secondary districts stay at war despite lapse of war of controlling minor country – resolved.
- Cannot build ships for minors – resolved (error related to Algeria able to build ships but has no fleets issue in v1.24.03).
- Several 1805 EIA/EIH minor country statuses, at-start strengths, and morale discrepancies – resolved. (See Game Manual sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 completely updated with corrected values. Databases and tables updated accordingly.)
- AI-AI naval combat bug – resolved.
- Adding province to kingdom bug – resolved.
- Some minor diplomacy settings not cleared upon DOW – resolved.
- Rule clarification, lone transports engaged in naval combat are eliminated, not captured – resolved (see revised rule 8.3.1).
- Minor corps and fleets at war not able to engage enemy when controlling major not at war – resolved.
- Corps destroying depot should also be able to lift siege – resolved.
The updated .tpj data files required some tedious manual editing to reset default minor morale from 2-2 to 1-2 and then reset other minor country morale values to be consistent with the EIA v3.1 and EIH v4.0 values. Some (5) EIH partial values have been rounded off for simplicity. Overall, this should now bring the game into better alignment with EIA and EIH as players should expect. Please let me know if there are any remaining discrepancies that should be corrected.
I have also made a couple of minor AI adjustments to slightly reduce the numbers of militia built and garrisons formed. I intend to make some more minor AI adjustments as I further playtest v1.25.00. Again, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving AI performance. Thanks. Enjoy!
