FOG2 Medieval v1.5.10 Open Beta changelog

[rbodleyscott]

All players are invited to join the Open Beta for update 1.5.10 of FOG2 Medieval.

In particular we would like you to test the new ELO Ranking system by playing MP games with the Ranged Challenge box ticked. Note that all Beta rankings will be reset when the beta is over – they will NOT carry forward to the release version.

Please also look out for and report any issues with any of the other changes, especially the addition of Swifter than Eagles armies to Time Warp. (On the Slitherine forum: https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=728 )

v1.5.10

• ELO Ranking System:

• o On-going ranked challenges show both players’ rankings (at the time the challenge was accepted) in the tooltip in the “My Games” tabs. ELO scoring when the game is completed depends on these values.

• MP Chat Box:

• o This now allows text in the chat box to be selected and copied to the Windows clipboard using CTRL-C. It can then be pasted into other documents using CTRL-V. [Unfortunately the Copy part is currently bugged, and copying and pasting from the Chat Box will require unwanted portions to be manually edited out. This should be fixed for the next version]
  o It also allows CTRL-V pasting from the clipboard to the chat box.

• Main game points changes (also in Time Warp):

• o Trebuchets and Bombards from 36 to 40.
  o Bolt Shooters and Light Guns from 24 to 30.

• Time Warp points changes:

• o Reduced cost of some chariots:
  •  Superior light chariots (bow) to 40. (Indian, Maryannu, Egyptian)
     Above average light chariots (bow) to 35. (Early chariots)
     Average light chariots (bow) to 30. (Elamites).
     Superior heavy chariots (bow) to 54. (Indian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Ugaritic)
     Superior heavy chariots (light Spear) to 48. (Carthaginian, Hittite, Mycenaean)
     Above Average heavy chariots (light spear) to 39. (Sumerian battle cars)
     Scythed chariots to 30.
     Light Spear Light Chariots not reduced in cost, as they are cheap enough already.
  o Corrected points cost of various other units that were incorrectly costed:
  •  Lydian armoured hoplites to 48
     Sherden and Peleset swordsmen to 54
     Libyan swordsmen to 50
     Akkadian/Sumerian shieldless spearmen to 33
     Superior Akkadian/Sumerian shieldless spearmen to 45
     Gasgan Warriors to 39
     Zagros Warriors to 36

• Army Lists:

• o Chagatai list start date changed to 1266.

v 1.5.9

• ELO Ranking System

• o An ELO ranking system has been added for MP games.
  o This is optional and challenges can be set as ranked or unranked.
  o A green ranked game symbol appears in the MP lobby for ranked games.
  o Ranked challenges show the challenger’s current ELO rating in the “Accept Challenge” Tab.
  o On-going ranked challenges show both players’ rankings in the tooltip in the “My Games” tabs. (At present their current rankings are shown, but in a future update the tooltip will instead show their rankings at the time the challenge was accepted – which are what scoring depends on - see below).
  o A player’s ranking starts at 1000 and then goes up or down depending on victories or defeats in ranked games. The amount it goes up or down depends on the relative existing rankings of the two players at the time when the challenge was accepted.
  o Beta ELO rankings for FOG2 Medieval are shown here: https://www.slitherine.com/leaderboard/ ... i-medieval

• Time Warp:

• o Added Swifter than Eagles armies to Time Warp modules.

• Field of Glory Kingdoms Beta:

• o If you are in the Kingdoms beta, and have exported a battle, the Kingdoms Battle button will appear in the Battles menu. Click on it to play your Kingdoms battle and export the result.
  o Currently Kingdoms will not restart automatically, you will need to restart it manually.

• Army Lists:

• o Indian (Muslim) and Indian (Rajput) lists revised.

• Key Bindings:

• o Added R (Zoom in) and F (Zoom out) to the list of customisable Key Bindings.

• Bug Fixes:

• o Fixed issue of small units of pre-dismounted MAA in Genoese army (arrived by ship without horses) being able to remount at Deployment.
  o Fixed Hot Seat bug whereby rear line side B infantry got assigned to Team 7 in non-enemy-fortified battle. (Only mattered if HotSeat turned off after side B deployment, as AI would not work as intended).
  o Anglo-Saxon Hirdsmen (Time Warp) cost increased from 57 to 61.
  o Fixed bug that prevented men from stepping forward correctly when unit is attacked in rear right corner.
  o Fixed Vijayanagaran general names.
  o Corrected dismounted name of Best-Equipped Cavalry

Checked a few of these and they were all correct.
