Dominions II: The Ascension Wars, the multi-OS fantasy title from Illwinter Game Design and Shrapnel Games publishing has just received another patch. The new patch, available for download at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm, updates the retail release of Dominions II to version 2.12.
As in previous patches while the new patch will not render your old saved games inoperable you won't be able to have older versions read version 2.12 saved games, so everyone must update at once in an existing multiplayer game.
A complete list of what the new update tweaks can be found online. The following is a sampling of what gamers can expect in version 2.12:
* Eliminated a memory leak issue when players alt-tabbed in Windows and OS X.
* Prophets lost the twist fate effect before battle, this has been corrected.
* The funky graphics that would occur when using paralyze on modded units is now a thing of the past.
* If a player suddenly has a huge increase of unexplained wealth ("Cheat? Me? Oh, surely you don't think that!") the host will send out messages to all players informing them of what is happening.
