THE ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN 2.5 http://www.tam.info.ms/ ************************************************************* KNOWN PROBLEMS: *** C3C scenario barbarian activity BUG The barbarian activity level will be set the same as your last random game. You can reset it by starting a dummy random game with the desired barbarian activity level and then starting TAM. The setting is then retained in the .sav file. *** AINoPatrol=0 This setting affects barbaian behavior. If you have added NoAIPatrol=1 *OR* not added the flag at all to your Conquests.ini file, the barbarians will mostly remain stationary. By adding AINoPatrol=0 the barbarians will roam around and be more dangerous which is much more interesting. They will also attack along other than the NW/SE axis at times. Basically, it restores the barbarian behavior close to or the same as PTW. *** Egypt still suffers some minimal disease. ************************************************************* Version 2.5 is a collaborative effort between thamis, Justus II, and watorrey, who was responsible for making sure it doesn't crash... all complaints go to him ;) A special thanks goes out to all the players who have submitted ideas and suggestions who are too numerous to mention.
