This version fixes an email bug. The game manager was having trouble emailing out the turn files when the user's default email client was Microsoft Outlook(it worked fine for Outlook Express). This has now been fixed. There is still an issue with Lotus Notes where the message text is being inserted in the 'To:' field,and I am not sure how to fix this.
Three more flash video files have been added to the help section of Clash of Ancient Empires (http://www.clashofancientempires.com/CAEHelp.htm). I had originally planned to make one video to cover all of diplomacy, but it was getting too big (and complicated). So instead I decided to break it up into smaller more manageable videos.
This version fixes a minor display bug. When the host changed a player's email address, the updated email address was not being displayed in the empire list until the host closed and reopened empire assignment screen. This has now been fixed.
Another video help file has been added to the help page. This new topic covers the context sensitve help and the tutorial. So far seven Flash Videos are available.
Video help, in the form of Flash Videos, is now available from ClashOfAncientEmpires.com. So far, six videos have been created to help players setup games and process turns. More videos coming soon.
A new Patch page has been added to the ClashOfAncientEmpires.com web site. This page chronicles the changes made to Clash of Ancient Empires as well as provides an easy way to update the game to the latest version.
Imperial armies ordered to Intercept Invaders will no longer attempt to intercept invading armies that contain no units. This stops a player from sending empty imperial armies on decoy invasions to prevent his opponent from intercepting his real army. This is the only change for version 1.2.1.
In the past, Clash of Ancient Empires had individual version numbers for the seperate components. This could cause confusion when trying to determine if a player's game was up to date. Now one common version number is used for all the game files. The only exception to this is the help file. The one common version number for the game is now 1.2.0 The help file version is still 1.1.1
The first was in regard to host program automatic emails. If the host was unable to automatically access an email client, the message box describing what to email to whom was not displaying properly. CAE_H.exe upgraded to 1.1.2.
The second was in regard to changing empire assignments in the middle of the game. The client to host turn files were overwriting the game manager empire assignments. This has been fixed. CAE_O.dll updated to 1.1.2.
Clash of Ancient Empires has been updated to version 1.1.1 The update includes the following three items: A spelling error in the Help was corrected. A text change in an email message box was made for user clarification. A bug in sending multiple emails from the game manager at the same time was found and fixed.
