New patch for Coliseum!
Latest patch corrects several bugs and
adds new features!
Cary, NC, 01 March 2004
Coliseum, the fantasy gladiatorial managerial
sim developed by Stormcloud Creations and published through Shrapnel Games, has
just received a new patch. The patch brings the retail game up to version 1.6
and includes a number of new features, along with the usual patch-related bug
fixing. The patch can be found at
http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d10778.htm.
It should be noted that the patch can only be applied to versions 1.5, so if you
have not downloaded the previous patch you must first do so. The latest patch
also unfortunately invalidates previous save games, so before applying make sure
that you are finished with any current games.
Finally, the demo has been updated to reflect
this latest patch.
Stormcloud Creations has been faithfully
listening to its fanbase on the various forums and many of the patch
improvements have been helped along by the fans. Stormcloud and Shrapnel would
like to extend a hearty thank you to everyone who has been supportive of this
unique title. May the blood on your steel never dry!
The full listing of fixes/enhancements/new
features can be found in the patch’s read me file, but here is a sampling to
whet your appetite:
Fixes
* New music module that corrects all previous
music-related errors.
* Master Training display glitch now
resolved.
* Fixed a problem where stat enhancements
would keep adding to the fighter’s stats…over and over and over.
Enhancements
* Having zero gold in your account ends the
game in bankruptcy.
* Saved games no longer deleted upon loading
them, but always keep in mind that you only have three saved game slots
available.
* Aging curve tweaked to be a little more
unpredictable, just like aging in real life.
New Features
* Ten new enchantments for your warriors!
* If you’re feeling wussy, bribe your
opponents to throw the match.
* Send your warriors on quests to faraway
realms, where they can earn gold and buff up their stats—or die a horrible
death.
