After a few hours on Saturday and Sunday, playing the 8-player world map within the AP pack, the date is 1190AD and I'm miles ahead of the remaining AIs. I have noticed the following, and would appreciate comments from those in the know;

[list=a]
[When barbarians attack me, I get no battle screen and no centering on the location of the fight. A ghastly scream, obviously someone is dead somewhere, but I've got to scroll to find the bloodied victor. When it's me attacking them, I do get the battle screen. Can this be fixed and if so, how?]
[For some reason I have undersea mines available (in 1190AD!!!). CTBF, AIS,How?]
[I got a message reading "You are in this category on the 4th position (in total 8 zivilised competitors)". How do I change this to improve the grammar and spelling? (Trivial, but it bugs me).]
[Further on the rankings; I'd like to see this comparison on demand; is it possible?]
[I really like the new trade goods, the link to the library when a unit or improvement is built, the way the horse-archer dies (!) and the ranking message.]

Re the Undersea Mines; now that I think about it, I may have picked up the pre-req technology from some ruins somewhere; I just 'found' cloning in one of them.

I'm now in the mid-1600's and really enjoying the new helicopter unit. Great visibility, good hitting power and range. Very useful for mindlessly sweeping up the AI legions,phalanxes, etc that are sitting out in the open.

I have noticed the AI being more of a challenge in defending it's cities. A couple of small stacks took position between my invading stacks and an AI city; both retreated quickly when my stacks moved adjacent; all four stayed in the city to defend it, rather than being decoyed south towards a feint I made at another city.

I'd also like to add Harlan's WW2 units, the slinger, swordsman and whatever other units on the download list catch my eye. I assume the Med Mod 2.1 isn't going to cause me any heartache when combined with the other add-ons?

Skip MMv21 and go straight to Wes' MMv3beta. It is stable and close to being released. You cab find it on his MM page.

To get rankings whenever you press the m key add this to ps_scr.slc:

code:

---

trigger 'SetKeys' when (IsHumanPlayer(g.player) && (g.year == 0)) {
	SetActionKey(1, "m");
}
trigger 'rKeyPressed' when (key.1.pressed) {
	Message(g.player, 'TP_M_Big_Ranking');
}

I know it's a bit late, but better late then never

If you select the "Show all battles" option (it could be called slightly different) in the gameplay option menu, the game does show all battles. It still doesn't show bombarding though but I think CD solved that nicely.

Hope that helps,
