2) Bug Fixes
Version 1.2
===========
The computer was able to take a haunted mine set by a human player without
having to fight the ghosts. When the human player went back to claim the
mine, he went into combat with the ghosts.
When the human player used the "Set Guardian" spells the computer was able
to take the guarded mine without having to fight the guardians. When the
human player went back to claim the mine, he went into combat with the
guardians.
Music (CD Audio and Midi) part of the code has been cleaned up. The CD
Audio music error has been fixed.
Some systems were having problems connecting using TCP/IP, this has
been fixed.
Version 1.1
===========
Random Map Generator now available in the World Editor. This allows
you to randomly create worlds, with paramaters you set.
All single scenario maps may now be loaded in the editor. If you save
them out again, they will have an underscore prefix, so they don't
overwrite the originals.
Sound and Video support code has been updated, which will clear up
some problems. (See the troubleshooting section for more help).
Old CD Rom drives which can't handle the switching code should now
display a normal error message, rather than simply crashing.
A bug preventing the entering of long IP addresses in internet play
has been fixed.
Some communication errors when hosting a TCP/IP game have been fixed.
Occasionally, when a very large number of objects were placed in
the editor, it would crash. This has been fixed.
The DOS version allowed invalid save filenames. Filenames are now
checked for accuracy.
The * and , symbols may now be used for modem dialing (*70, disables
call waiting)
Deleting events and rumours in the editor didn't work properly before.
This has been fixed.
Undead units were showing bad morale, even though they don't have morale.
This has been fixed.
Ghosts were growing faster than they should have when retaliating. This
has been fixed.
The Lost Continent map had a buggy mine which has been fixed.
