I mean, how Byzantine Skutatoi should be better than the Fyrd spearmen of the Anglo-Saxons. Like, are there any noticeable differences between the base units of the different civilisations?

Balancing can be addressed in future releases.

Anglo - Saxons spawning stables was fixed?

[Stan`]

What is the bug ?

[Alexandermb]

Last time i played against them they just builded stables all around the map, like a normal Petra building fortress but this ones just build stables they ended with around 35+ stables in the other isle of Corsica vs Sardinia.

Yeah I remember that in Delenda Est mod. is a cheesy tactic to survive from Petra.

The Anglo-Saxon stables parent entity is assigned to template_structure_military_barracks with a population bonus of 8

Cavalry upgrade technologies were also transferred to it. Maybe we should return it back to the Blacksmith and disable the stable since a building of that type will be soon available in the game upon the implementation of the barracks split feature.

I Agree, i will need to make the 2 left stables and each faction archery range/workshop for alpha 24 in any case so isn't needed to have it now for this release

[Rolf Dew]

I can't wait for this amazing release!

[Alexandermb]

Resized some textures from 1024 (Helmets AO and other stuff) and also found a texture using 4k x 1024 norse temple roof_b resized to his partner roof 1024x256 also did a small tweak to the normal map of it
Before:

[wackyserious]

Finally got a stable internet connection after several days. Where are we on the release process? I will further do skirmish game testing, later in the afternoon.

@Alexandermb Thanks for the texture size tweaks. Also, can you properly scale the Norse and Anglo-Saxon helmets as you see fit. I believe those where not properly scaled after the mesh switch during the last alphas.

@Alexandermb

Are you using CANTV?.

i was wondering if the helmets were that big or if it was because of the old heads.

you mean the changelog? if you want to .

[asterix]

@Alexandermb well-considering git commits there are just fixes and tweaks so I do not think so, however, if you want to tell me what exactly to add or change.

Exactly, those are just small fixes so i guess they aren't anymore added to the changelog as single updates right ? would be just fixes at every civilization like 

• Anlgo Saxons/Byzantines/Carolingians/Norse tweaks if its needed, on the modd page or announcement

would be good to have an small line with the links of the mod forum for reporting bugs if they found some while playing.

[asterix]

@Alexandermb well to be frank fixes and tweaks are basically maintenance updates and the link is I think in my 2. draft of Announcement some posts back.
