■ Release Notes ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE:
* No previous Patches are required, since most of the files from the
previous patches are changed by this new one anyway.
Upgrades your game from version either ~3.0.126 or 3.1.137~ to 3.2.141.
Observe a previous release:
06-25-2006 Conquest.Of.The.Aegean-RiTUEL
Matrix Games has blacklisted the Serial Number contained in that
release. This mean that the new patches will say that serial is invalid
if you try to enter it when the patch ask for a serial.
The original Patch does a Serial Number check before it will install the
Update. Since the scene releases of the game do not contain any *VALID*
Serial Numbers, our release is needed for both ISO and RIP users.
Enjoy another excessively long DirName!

Update Info:
------------
Welcome to the Conquest of the Aegean ( COTA ) Patch 2 ( Build 3.2.141 ).
This patch fixes all bugs reported since Patch 1, including the bug in the
resupply code that prevented supplies from being transferred from air delivered
SEPs to on-map Bases. Some minor issues have also been addressed. Please see
the items below for more detail In addition we took this opportunity to
overhaul the Moving in Formation code to ensure HQs did not overrun their guard
subgroups in the assault. The Estabs of various air landing Bases have had
their available transport capacities increased.
Please note that the Signature graphics have been changed. If you have created
a scenario, then open it in the ScenMaker and reset the commander signatures
for both sides and save the scenario.

Build 3.1.137
Welcome to the Conquest of the Aegean ( COTA ) Patch 1 ( Build 3.1.137 ).
This patch fixes all bugs reported with the initial release build, including
the crash to desktop ( CTD ) bug in the resupply code. Many minor issues have
been addressed as well. Please see the items below for more details.
In addition we have taken this opportunity to enhance the aggression of the
strategic AI and fine tuned a number of the scenarios. AI controlled sides will
now be a greater challenge. Their forces will tend to launch attacks sooner and
more often and call off attacks less. The code that prioritises and culls
strategic objectives has been overhauled. So the AI is more likely to keep
pushing for enemy controlled objectives. The force allocation routines have
been revised, so a better force mix and percentage of force is now assigned to
each strategic objective.
The Attack code has also been revised. A complex attack ( ie one with subHQs )
in line formation will now see up to three subHQs in each assault line and
their units will now be spread on a pro-rata basis across the frontage. This
results in a more even application of force across the entire assault line,
with no gaps ( well at least initially, though enemy fire can still cause units
to retreat and gaps to appear - but that is combat ). You will only get a
second assault line if you have four or more subHQs assigned to the attack.
This will form up behind the initial assault line and continue past the
objective. Again it can support up to three subHQs abreast.
During the attack and when advancing longer ranged direct fire units, such as
armour, are now more likely to halt and fire as soon as the enemy is within
their effective range. This "stand-off" capability reduces the likelihood of
armour rushing headlong into enemy infantry and exposing their flank armour to
short range AT weapons. It is a more realistic simulation of how armour was
employed in WW2.
Note that the Run Until feature is not available in multiplayer.
Overall we are very happy with the improvements made to COTA. It should
provide an even greater challenge.
Enjoy.
