Patch 1.3 Tomorrow

Kalah · Unread postby **Kalah** » 12 Sep 2006, 18:45

Perhaps fitting in the world of random numbers, patch 1.3 will be released worldwide on the 13th of September - that is, tomorrow. Ubi_Marc <a href="/http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t ... nfirmed</a> this in the <a href="/http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t ... 84">German official forum</a> only hours ago, and could also declare that it will contain the Map Editor.

Also included is a new 3x3 Duel format, a random hero selection for the Duel mode, four new multiplayer maps and lots of bugfixes.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, what is 3x3 duel format...I love random hero selection (I hope that means nonstandard, non preselected heroes - which it probably doesnt), and finally the map editor...I miss my RMG

PS can anybody translate?

Why is it being officially announced in the German forum and not anywhere else? hmmmmm I hope this isn't just another rumor...
What about the cheat-code console? The U.S. Ubi forum
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 4351096184 (translation) didn't mention that and I thought it was suppose to be included in patch 1.3. hmmmm

according to babel fish:

-Arcane Armor absorbs more damage,

-Phantoms no loger have special abilities, and have the same ammount of ammunition as originals.

-Summon Creatures now uses up 75% of the hero's movement, and if he doesnt have enough he cant cast it.

-Ability Master of Wrath now increases spell power of Holy Word spell by +4

- Ability Master of Pain now increases Spell Power of the Curse spell by +4

- Ghosts now do less damage, but have more HP.

- Something about the Cavalry Commander specialty, i think they nerfed it alot.

- buiding costs in cities were changed.

- they fixed Master of Poison Specialty

- they weakened Eruina's army in Duels.

- War Machines ability now increases machine's HP.

- Catapults now have unlimmited ammo.

- the camera seems to follow the hero more naturraly now, instead of being fixed over him as he moves.

- something about the first aid tent was corrected.

- You can now see the hit points of gates and walls during a siege.

- Some text corrections were made.

i just listed what i thought was important, and of those only what i understood, but you get the point. alot of changes. i also think they had a bunch of stuff about ghost mode, cause "spirits" were always mentioned.

edit: took all that time to type.....

ummm, Soupi...

there seems to be some strange things in your list:

"Phantoms no loger have special abilities, and have the same ammount of ammunition as originals. "

ammunition?

He means Shots for the ranged units.

soupnazii · Unread postby **soupnazii** » 12 Sep 2006, 20:54

i meant they have same number of shots if they are ranged. you cant phantom a stack of titans with no ammo and have the phantom with full ammo. but it was all summed up from Bable Fish, so its not supposed to make sense.

ahh, gotchya.

thanks for the clarification.

the changes look mostly positive, from my PoV.

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing the release of some great maps in the next month or so.

Hopefully the Map Editor is complete and mostly bug-free. The news that the patch is tommorrow certainly just made me get HoMMV off the shelf for the first time in a while..

well, i am quietly hopeful that this gives us what we want, the list of changes seem good, so maybe now is the time to patch to 1.2 in anticipation of 1.3

Hmm... it's taken long enough. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Do I have to restart the entire campaign after I patch from 1.2 to 1.3?

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 13 Sep 2006, 04:27

No.Youll probably just have to restart the last mission,though.But even that might be unnecessary.

Jesus ... I have been waiting for this for 2 damn months !!!! Can't wait for the 8 hours remaining. I love Heroes 5 ... LOVED HEROES 3, but when the RMG will arrive, people will forget about Heroes 3. Heroes 5 is that GOOD. Can't wait for a decent Multiplayer map.
