(Please make any comments on the Slitherine forum)
Open Beta v1.6.14
Please could people test units in villages and forests to check that the village and forest textures are rendered correctly.
• Bug Fixes:
- o Hopefully fixed bug (introduced in a recent engine update) affecting the texture rendering of large terrain objects (e.g. villages & forests) when there is a unit in the same square. This bug only seemed to affect some people’s systems.
o Note that shadows of such terrain objects disappear when there is a unit on the square. This is intentional.
- o Explanatory tooltips added to checkboxes in MP new challenge setup screen.
Open Beta Version 1.6.12
Please could people test the new map rerolls option in MP – see below.
• MP allow Map Rerolls option:
- o There is now an option in the MP challenge setup screen to “Allow Rerolls” in Ranked custom battle challenges.
o This is to facilitate the use of the Slitherine Elo ranking system in player-run tournaments that allow either player to reroll the map at the start of the game if they deem it unsuitable. Mechanically, this entails one player conceding the game and then the challenge being set up again.
o If the “Allow Rerolls” option is set, concessions will be ignored for Elo ranking purposes if they occur in either player’s first 2 turns. After the first two turns, the conceding player will be considered the loser for Elo purposes.
