New Dominions II: The Ascension Wars Patch! Version 2.13 Of The Acclaimed Strategy Title Now Available!

Not content to simply rest on their laurels, Illwinter Game Design, from high atop their wintry fortress of solitude, have been hard at work conjuring the latest improvements to their hit fantasy strategy title, Dominions II: The Ascension Wars. These improvements, along with a handful of corrections to some minor glitches, make up the brand new patch now available through Shrapnel Games. The patch, which brings Dominions II: The Ascension Wars up to version 2.13, can be downloaded at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm. and http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d11493.htm

This latest patch is fully compatible with the previous patch (version 2.12), but it is strongly encouraged that if you are in the middle of a multiplayer game everyone should upgrade simultaneously to avoid any strange gameplay issues. Installing the patch is quick, easy, and painless, so there's absolutely no reason not to update your copy.

While a comprehensive listing of what changes are found in version 2.13 is available online here are some of the highlights:

  • Implementation of basic magical item modding.

  • Improved cheat detection, a must have enhancement for tournament games!

  • Provinces will only suffer floods during summer, and only if they are a fresh water province.

  • A bow could be used even after one arm was lost. This has been corrected.

  • All hail the Skratti, now available again!

  • And more!

Dominions II: The Ascension Wars is the highly addictive and award-winning game of grand fantasy strategy available for a multitude of operating systems. Whether you're a Windows gamer, or Mac, or Linux, or even Solaris gamer, you can enjoy the game everyone is raving about.
