  • The New Homm4 patch seems good

    Found this on usenet. This is the bugfix list for the
    patch that is to be released Very Soon Now. Notably
    MP is finally in, a myriad different bugfixes, some
    quite serious, a rebalancing of some spells that would
    make MP useless as they are right now. Five new MP maps.

    No mention of fixing the abysmal AI though.

    --------------------------------------------

    Added support for Multiplayer sessions. See the "Multiplayer" section for
    details.

    Correctly implemented the [Space Bar] hotkey in the Army Info Screen and its
    effect on troop movement.

    Eliminated an undesirable side effect of the 'H' and 'T' hotkeys and army
    stack 'drag and drop'.

    Having a Hypnotized mage cast Town Gate during combat now gates out the
    mage's controller's army, eliminating a crash if the mage's owner's army had
    nowhere to go.

    The Teleport and Displacement spells are now affected by Magic Resistance
    when cast on hostile creatures.

    The Purse of Penny Pinching now correctly reduces the cost of troops when
    purchasing them.

    Fire Ring spell can now be used around friendly units including the caster.

    Heroes can now use Holy Water on themselves.

    In Siege combat, the castle walls now give the attackers the ranged-attack
    penalties.

    In Siege combat, the defenders can now target points outside of the castle
    with spells like Fireball and Fire Ring.

    The experience point allotment from the Stealth Skill has been adjusted to
    match that of combat.

    Dead heroes no longer gain Stealth experience.

    You can now cast attack spells on creatures you control via Hypnotize.

    Casting Town Gate while on a boat no longer leaves you as a land boat.

    The Campaign High Score screen now displays the correct creature portrait
    for the level attained.

    Item and creature giving placed events now distinguish between a Human
    player and a computer player.

    Sanctuary spell now lasts for 6 rounds and cannot be recast by the same Hero
    for 3 rounds after it has expired.

    Players can no longer Right-Click on Armies covered by the Fog of War or are
    hidden by a Hero with Stealth.

    Robe of the Guardian is now correctly represented on the Hero right-click
    screen in Combat.

    When learning magic skills from a University or Seminary, you now get the
    mage guild spells at the time you learn the skill.

    Sacrifice can no longer be cast on troops you don't own but temporarily
    control via Hypnotize.

    The Martyr link is broken whenever the protectors are hypnotized or
    un-hypnotized.

    Hypnotize and the mermaid's hypnotize ability can now be used to cancel
    existing hypnotizes.

    When an enemy army uses charm or diplomacy to bribe some of the player's
    creatures, they now get a message box telling them about the creatures lost.

    Added a more descriptive message when trying to Town Gate out of combat to a
    town that is too close and is the only one that player owns.

    The combat AI now allows the last frame to play before their action.

    When switching to another town in the town window, the correct town music
    now plays.

    - Map Specific -

    We've added five multiplayer specific maps that can be found in the
    "Multiplayer" subfolder.

    They are:
    Barbarians from Below
    Jester's Revenge
    River Crossing
    Uninvited Guest
    Wheel-Of-Misfortune

    Note: any Scenario maps that have two or more Human Player starting
    positions can be played as multiplayer maps.

    "I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.
