i'll play the robot patch of course, people are so ungrateful saying not enough changes etc. etc.

while this is true just be happy with what they did, notm any weeks have passed since aloysius stated robot is taking over

i hope they wait 3-5 days till they release the agesanc update
i'll still play the fanpatch, i bet in the next minutes they'll release the update..

[Sporting_Lisbon]

I'm waiting for the fanpatch.

[Aaryn_GenD]

VV_Walker said that, so i guess it should work

[GeneralMichael]

I'm gonna play on the robot patch, since the only games I played on the fan patch were clan games, though once the new fan patch comes out I'll hop onto that so I won't have to miss out on more clan games

very good attitude michael, that's how it should be done.

with the changes i posted (according to Walker) you can host games and such, but the fp is the same as the new robot patch then :s

guess just wait for an official statement of viper, before any more people mess their game up^^

The Robot Patch is pretty bad -- I guess we will see what their next patch does. FP does not work right now as far as I can tell.

[I__CHAOS__I]

the new maps and the old ones that got reworked to be better balanced is what i'm gonna miss more than the civ balance. At least there are 4 top tier civs now and at the level i play, its not a huge thing anyways.
also, friends dont lame friends

[IndyBrit]

Played a couple Robot patch games. I'm such a noob - I really can't tell the difference. Miss the maps mostly

I'll play this, when the Fan Patch comes out, I'll play that too. I'm pretty used to switching now according to what games are available.

[generalbuschmann]

i would play both patches, like i did before 1.02. so i wont vote^^

+1 altho I voted for the R.E patch. It really depends on how many there
is on the fp when I log in

[Kaiser_von_Nuben]

I'm still confused. Does the fan patch work with Robot's new patch or not? What patch are we using for clan games now? Since starting with the fan patch I NEVER went back to ES; I never played a non-clan game since that time.

Until the new patch comes out, what will we use for our clan games?

until it's out, we'll be using the robot patch of course :-)

[deadhanddan]

fanpatch isnt workable since robot's patch came out. so i will play robot's pathc until fanpatch comes out

OK, now I know what to do.

Hey, I get 9 uhlans again in Age 3 !

EDIT : I also remembered something even better! My 3 settler wagons get 2 uhlans again! Those hearty villagers were getting lonely on the long trip from Alte Nubenstadt without their 2 horse-riding friends.
