Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that due to some Hardware Failures ESO1 & ESO2 will come down for a much longer than normal period of time on February 26th & 27th.

A load balancer and a firewall have been causing problems, as well as a some memory failed, so we are doing a major overhaul of the hardware to make sure you guys can keep on playing.

The approximate downtimes will be 1am to 4am February 26th CST (GMT - 6).

If it runs longer, we will likely make an update later that morning, but we wanted to give everyone a heads up and to let you know the servers aren't coming down permanently!

Thanks,

Lethe

Dude. Its August.

I cant believe its August already! Seems like only yesterday this was posted! Time flies!
That's beyond the point.

As much as you're beyond reason.

hi i need help. I just bot asian dynasties but i seem to not be able to choose china or india when i choose the campaign option. It only defaults to japan. Any answers on this?

why did you post that here?

Re: I NEED HELP!!!!

James — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:24:06 GMT

anyway there's nothing wrong with your game. you just have to beat the japan campaign before you can play the Chinese and Indian ones. its like that with everyones. if you dont want to play the japan one then just beat the levels using cheat codes to make it go faster.

btw this wasn't really the right place to post this. see this is a new topic and new post so what you want to do for things like this is not reply to an old thread, but start a new one. to do this go to general discussion (or wherever you want to post) and select the new post button.

i have a better suggestion. never listen to fry cook.... EVER!

Re: I NEED HELP!!!!

dailo — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:12:24 GMT

I don't think my game is broken. When I click on single player then chose campaign, then choose asian dynasties. It just shows Japan on tghe top whereas China and India is covered up slightly. ie: It does not allow me to choose china or india. Any suggestions?...

Re: I NEED HELP!!!!

The_Fry_Cook_of_Doom — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:07:33 GMT

Your game is clearly broken. I suggest you uninstall it and sell it on eBay, adding to the description of your item that Tom Hanks is a Fascist extra-terrestrial, arriving on this planet to pollute the minds of the innocent young.

There were many fixed by fp 1.0

Many of these will be fixed with fp1.1:

'ChampionCaribs' should have these lines added so named properly
<Effect type ='SetName' proto ='NatBlowgunAmbusher' culture ='none' newName ='42428'></Effect>
<Effect type ='SetName' proto ='NatMercBlowgunWarrior' culture ='none' newName ='24201'></Effect>
***
'NatCeremonialFeast' should have this line added so named properly
<Effect type ='SetName' proto ='NatMercBlowgunWarrior' culture ='none' newName ='34051'></Effect>
***
'WarriorSocietyCaribs' needs this line added so named properly
<Effect type ='SetName' proto ='NatMercBlowgunWarrior' culture ='none' newName ='36589'></Effect>
***
'HCXPOldWaysAztec' in techtree file currently increases the wood and gold costs of the firepit founder tech.
It should assign them at 25 each not 250.
   <Effect type ='Data' amount ='25.00' subtype ='Cost' resource ='Gold' relativity ='Assign'>
    <Target type ='Tech'>BigFirepitFounder</Target></Effect>
   <Effect type ='Data' amount ='25.00' subtype ='Cost' resource ='Wood' relativity ='Assign'>
    <Target type ='Tech'>BigFirepitFounder</Target></Effect>
***
'xpBuilderStart' and 'xpBuilder' in protoy file needs to have LOS changed from 8 to 12 (12 is minimum needed) so Travois
can build a dock without needing another unit/building near it
***
remove this line <infiniteinlastage>1</infiniteinlastage>
from the mercenaryloyalty sections for british, chinese, indian and japanese
homecity*xml files so it cannot be shipped again in imperial age
as it has no effect the second time as costs are assigned but still wastes a shipment
***
Asian civs use ypImpLegendaryNatives2 tech
Warchief civs use ImpLegendaryNativesNatives tech
Euro civs use ImpLegendaryNatives tech
ypImpLegendaryNatives2, ImpLegendaryNativesNatives and ImpLegendaryNatives need these
lines added so that HC shipped natives get named properly and are truly legendary with all 3 upgrades:
<Effect type ='TechStatus' status ='active'>HCXPBloodBrothers</Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercTigerClaw' culture ='none' newName ='70406'></Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercChakram' culture ='none' newName ='70407'></Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercConquistador' culture ='none' newName ='70408'></Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercRattanShield' culture ='none' newName ='70409'></Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercSohei' culture ='none' newName ='70410'></Effect>
   <Effect type ='SetName' proto ='ypNatMercWarElephant' culture ='none' newName ='70411'></Effect>
***
The following techs need to include <Flag>UpgradeTech</Flag> so that
'YPHCCheapUnitUpgradesTeam' and 'YPNatZenMeritocracy' effect their costs:

imperialrabaulds (all other Euro imperial techs have it)
(arsenal type upgrades that were missed)
papercartridge
fppapercartridgejapanese
caracole
militarydrummers

This flag needs to be removed from 'StarFort' as that is not a unit upgrade.
It should also be removed from topkapi, tanzimat and abbasid Otto techs
as galatatower, koprulvizier, milletsystem and ALL other church/monastery techs
do not have this flag and to add would create imbalances. Also, these Otto techs
already had prices reduced in a previous patch.
It should also be removed from bigdockrawhidecovers, bigdockcipactli and bigdockflamingarrow
as no other warchief civ bigbuttons have this flag. Cipactli is not even an upgrade, it is a unit shipment.
Again, same reasons as church/monastery - adding to all bigbuttons would create imbalances.
***
some consulate units do not update properly...
For consulatehorseartillery in proto, change <UnitType>AbstractConsulateSiegeIndustrial</UnitType> to
<UnitType>AbstractConsulateSiegeFortress</UnitType>

The fix for several other consulate units is within the fortressize tech,
change abstractconsulateunitcolonial to abstractconsulateunit for these lines:
   <Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.20' subtype ='Hitpoints' relativity ='BasePercent'>
    <Target type ='ProtoUnit'>AbstractConsulateUnitColonial</Target></Effect>
   <Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.20' subtype ='Damage' allactions ='1' relativity ='BasePercent'>
    <Target type ='ProtoUnit'>AbstractConsulateUnitColonial</Target></Effect>
***
consulatebashkirpony needs 20% ranged armor so like hussar
***
consulatecarabineer should match ruyter with 140hp not 222, and 6bldg, 14ranged and 7melee attacks, not higher like they are
***
consulateespadachin should match rodelero with 10 melee and defend handattack not 11
***
'Rifling' in techtree does not affect renegado and thuggee units so add this to that tech
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='DamageBonus' unittype ='AbstractHeavyInfantry' allactions ='1' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>SaloonOutlawRifleman</Target></Effect>
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='DamageBonus' unittype ='AbstractHeavyInfantry' allactions ='1' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>ypRepentantOutlawRifleman</Target></Effect>
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='DamageBonus' unittype ='AbstractHeavyInfantry' allactions ='1' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>ypThuggee</Target></Effect>
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='DamageBonus' unittype ='AbstractHeavyInfantry' allactions ='1' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>ypRepentantThuggee</Target></Effect>
***
NatMercHuronMantlet don't have "AbstractInfantry" definition, even though NatHuronMantlet do.
add this to natmerchuronmantlet in proto file
<UnitType>AbstractInfantry</UnitType>
***
'outpostwagon' needs this added so natives can build a warhut if outpost treasure found
<Train row ='0' page ='6' column ='0'>WarHut</Train>
***
caracole needs this added so that outlaw rider affected like other light cav units
<Effect type ='Data' action ='RangedAttack' amount ='2.00' subtype ='MaximumRange' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>AbstractLightCavalry</Target></Effect>
so that saloonoutlawrider and 'ypRepentantOutlawRider' gets benefited with 2 extra range as well
***
'ypAge0IndiansBuildings' and 'Age0XPSioux' need this line added in techtree so that india and sioux surgeons may build field hospitals
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='Enable' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>FieldHospital</Target></Effect>
***
'YPHCGurkhaAid' should include mansabdar gurkha not just regular gurkha
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='1.00' subtype ='DamageBonus' unittype ='AbstractHeavyInfantry' allactions ='1' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='ProtoUnit'>ypNatMercGurkhaJemadar</Target></Effect>
***
'XPRevolutionOHiggins' change the hussar upgrade order noted to this so Hussar are named imperial properly
<Effect type ='TechStatus' status ='active'>VeteranHussars</Effect>
<Effect type ='TechStatus' status ='active'>GuardHussars</Effect>
<Effect type ='TechStatus' status ='active'>ImperialHussars</Effect>
***
This needs to be added to 'church' and 'ypchurch' as is not obtainable even after churchmissionfervor tech researched
<Tech row ='0' page ='1' column ='7'>ChurchStateReligion</Tech>
***
'NatXPKlamathHuckleberryFeast' change value from -0.60 to -0.67 so ten crates of food are actually possible
<Effect type ='Data' amount ='-0.67' subtype ='FreeHomeCityUnit' unittype ='CrateofFood' relativity ='Absolute'>
<Target type ='Player'></Target></Effect></Effects>
***
muskgrenhitpointsbrit team card - iroquois tomahawks and otto janissaries should be affected
***

wat the...? why has half of my post been deleted? Anyways I was trying to say that even if some of the lamers left after the fan patch was made official many players who left because of imbalance would replace them.
