Age Of Mythology(tm) v1.05
Patch Release Notes
==================================================================
If you are encountering out of sync (OOS) problems when playing multiplayer, go to
http://www.windowsupdate.com and ensure that you have the latest updates. Specifically,
downloading and installing the Microsoft Processor Driver Version 5.1.2600.1152 for the AMD
Athlon is known to fix potential out of sync problems. Also, if you are having trouble connecting to
ESO or to games and other users, please check out the Age of Mythology FAQ on
http://www.eso.com.
==================================================================
Patch 1.05 - fixes an exploit, a crash, a few ESO issues and some balance concerns.
==================================================================
CLIENT FIXES
- Fixed an exploit that allowed Armory techs to be researched twice.
- Fixed some minor localization bugs.
- Fixed a crash caused by alt-tabbing out of the application.
- The "Nomad" random map now correctly fires the "Ceasefire" god power at startup. In specific,
god power triggers now work properly in multiplayer scenarios and random maps.
- Detailed help text can now be provided in user-created random map scripts. The "detailsText"
attribute is now supported in random map XML files, and allows plain-text setting of the detail
help for that random map.
- Unit Balance Adjustments (NOTE: Save games from all previous versions will not be affected by
the balance changes. Recorded games from all previous versions are still supported and will
replay as before):
* Fixed a bug in which Flaming Weapons made Hammerships 10X too powerful.
* Norse no longer get bonus favor from Longboats (this also means they don't contribute Favor
for Loki's free summoning).
* Throwing Axeman attack dropped very slightly (-0.5).
* Valkyrie costs slightly more (+5) Favor.
* Fire Giant normal attack does less damage, but his special attack does more.
* Kraken normal attack does much less damage, and is -100 hitpoints.
* War Elephant attack (+2) and hack armor (+5%) increased.
* Priest does more bonus damage (+2) versus Myth Units.
NETWORK AND ESO FIXES
- Added better diagnostics when establishing the initial ESO connection. This includes better
error messages on what to do to solve common ESO connection issues. This should immensely
help players using routers/NATs.
- Added improvements in establishing connections to other players.
- Fixed the “Drop Trick” bug. Players that force a disconnect early will not be allowed to upload
stats.
- Fixed the Vote dialog to expedite a no-consensus situation (related to drop tricking) and to drop
poor connections faster.
- Renamed ESO chat channels to be category based. ESO will also remember the last chat
channel you were in and, if possible, return you to that channel on relogin.
