Notes

This is the last update for the time being. This release is mainly focused on improving usability and ease of use. All of the upcoming releases will be installer based. This update is still all about implementing official RU only patches into my DIY international release. These changes affect both balance and performance of the game and make it way more stable. The list below is a loose translation of russian changelog of both of the included patches. Turns out the russian release had a priority over european version and was the only one to get a patch from the original devs. All of the changes have been ported and merged with my previous modifications. Modding installer and stiching it all back together so it works and functions as it should was a major pain in the ass. I hope you like it. Internet play will not work, even if you're a legit registered user with a serial key and all that due to lots of modifications in the client. You're able to play with you friends through LAN/VPN only. In the upcoming weeks there will be a post containing links to three fully working and untampered clients, so those who are interested in a stock experience can do their thing. I have also made a couple of batch scripts, so you're able to change between the langages in a matter of seconds. More instructions below. 

1.02 Changelog

Optimization and code acceleration

• General code optimization. Acceleration 15-20%
  
• Added the ability to set a limit when playing in multiplayer, skirmish and the Internet. Players can play with a fixed limit, which cannot be exceeded. Now players can choose such limit so that the game does not slow down on their computers. The downside is that at low limits, nations targeting a large number of cheap troops are weaker than other nations. Advice on how to avoid this disadvantage - if you have a weak computer and you play with a low limit - do not play Egypt.
  
• Added a limit on the construction of ballistas, catapults, elephants, chariots, ships, as well as an inscription that these units can no longer be built if the limit is exceeded - made in order not to lead to slow downs due to the large number of 3D units.
  
• Optimized the pathfinding of ships in the islands.
  
• Optimized server for internet games. It was possible to reduce lags and reduce traffic.
  

AI improvements

• AI / player controlled elephants now behave more rationally, finding a target and fighting correctly using all their special abilities.
  
• The "Don't shoot" button has been introduced for the towers. By default, the tower shoots, but if necessary, the shooting can be turned off.
  
• Improved control of AI ships. Optimized pathfinding and finding targets within the radius of their own.
  
• The AI ​​did not finish building bridges if enemy units were standing alongside the dock.
  
• For different types of games in skirmish, different modifications of the AI ​​are made so that the actions of the AI ​​are as adequate as possible to the rules of the game:
  
• Archers now walk under cover of infantry and cavalry and actively try to kill the enemy's "City Center".
  
• Heroes leave the base only if there are at least two companies of warriors, stay behind and, if possible, do not engage in battle. If the number of HP is less than 1000, or if there are fewer than one company left, the heroes return to the base to the temple of priests, where they are treated. The third ability will turn on only when there is at least one allied company of soldiers and at least one enemy company of soldiers nearby. Also, heroes, upon reaching levels, first raise the most useful skills.
  
• Archers destroy distant mines of opponents prioritizing the upgraded types.
  
• The priority when destroying the enemy's houses is given to the weakly protected buildings. 

Balance improvements

• Reduced the construction time of the "Port".
• Strengthened the role of walls in the game. Soldiers now only deal 1 damage. Walls can only be removed by siege engines.

• Increased the demage of Nubian archers, but slowed down their production time.

We select one of the countries on this map and press the "Play" button. As soon as someone chooses another country, the server will connect the players and they will start playing with the selected races. The winning player increases the territory of his country, and the loser decrease. If you like a certain nation, why not expand its territory.
