Sorry Avocado Aguilo, but this has to be v1.05 since as soon as it comes out virtually everyone will be updating their patches and I think we must all be using the same. I just can't see 29 or 30 other people being very eager to have two copies of the game on their hard drives so I think we have to stick with the greatest common denominator.
Since you're not up until 5th or 6th, it's likely that you'll have about another 2 weeks after the rest of us before the game gets sent to you. Hopefully your local EU2 distributor will have provided an update patch for you by then. If not then I'm afraid that we may need to call upon the services of one of our stand-bys to handle your first doge. Let's see how the next week or so shapes up and we'll make a decision then.
BTW, Avocado, could you delete your post in the "A Team" thread and repost it here instead. I'd like to try to keep the threads free of organizational/technical/background stuff and keep it for the AARs and responses to the writing/game itself.
Thanks.
