Hey guys,

We've made a little hotfix for the game, it should be coming pretty soon. Here are the patch notes:

1. Various changes in English text.
2. Fixed the error with mixed up answers in "Famine" event.
3. Fixed crash issue with "Plundering" event.
4. Fixed crash issue with ritual "Deadly Terror" event.
5. Some other little improvements.

It's good to see this game still getting some rather late after-market support. :) I still have to find the time to give it a real try. Too distracted by some of my other backlog right now, but I'll be sure to give a more proper look when this patch comes around.

That said, I do hope that patch will be available through GOG's download section, either as a separate little file or an altogether updated game installer.

Is it compatible with existing saves? I have a campaign in progress, and I'd prefer not to restart it...

Great to hear that!
Thank you!

Some texts, mostly Dwarven alliance small talk are too many letter for the message window. Did you fixed that?
Oh and the Title was missing the article "the"
<Player Name> Pure
or
<Player Name> Evil sounded kind of funny.
But that is already everything I noticed.

I'm very impressed as I would never have guessed that this game's original language wasn't English.
Very good translation, even proverbs and irony other stylistic device fit perfectly.
Yes, I agree that the translation is very good and professional. I found a few little things that could be fixed too:

1. The hero's current orders are called "quest", which is confusing ("Quest: Go to Province..."), the term "quest" should be used only for things listed on the "current quests" list on the hero screen. Going to province, entering a building and things like that can be called "task" or "orders".
2. In the stronghold window, "Entertainment Quarter" is too long to fit, perhaps change it to "Shows Quarter" or something like that.
3. The name of the skill "Combat" sounds too generic, I think it should be changed to "Fencing".

NOOOooooooooooo11!!!111!!1111!1111!!!!
Don't dare to change that.

It's sounds very powerful to send the hero on a quest "to enter the the ruin and clear out the goblins" or on a most glorious quest to "travel to the next province"

Try to see it as a "quest" with an ironic touch.
It's like your wife/mum giving you the epic and heroic quest of taking out the garbage.

I agree with pawels-aow, since 'quest' there can be misleading in relation to skill bonuses.

Very good :)
Thanks very much for this! Does it do anything about the issues with fast CPUs at all?

Patch is now live and can be attained through GOG. I love the support this game is getting, both from the community here and from the Devs answering questions an providing patches. :)

Thanks for the heads-up. I actually saw the notification about it yesterday and downloaded it, but I still need to find some proper time to play it though. Maybe on Christmas Day; it's not like I'm going anywhere and doing anything important then. Might as well enjoy myself another way since I'm unable to be with family this holiday.

Sure thing, :)

Nope, still have to slow down the CPU. This game has been out for 3 years, I think the fixes are just stuff that the translation messed up. The fast CPUs were probably not a problem until the past year or so.

It can´t since it´s a problem with the graphic library the game uses.
If you do not know already: you can use this launcher to make the game run smooth
