Fort Wars 2.3 for Non-Expansion & 3.2 Quickfix for TWC
3.1 was indeed the last “major installment.” There are no new exciting changes here unfortunately. However, these are nonetheless the latest maps to play.
3.2 addresses a rather rare, but serious bug in 3.1 - the bug is rare to the point that it requires two players, French and Portuguese, to be in the same game, in a specific order. Once that is achieved however, the bug is pretty irritating. Very rare, but either way, it’s better to end the series with no loose ends, no?
For those who do not have TWC, 2.3 is a quick adaption of a number of TWC Fort Wars features. Obviously, it is not the same, but as close as possible, due to the fact that the original AOE3 has much less to work with than the expansion pack.
It also brings notice of the ladder and official site, hopefully standing out among the modded fake versions of the map that seems to have flooded the AOE3 nonexpansion.
This is more likely than ever my last releases for Fort Wars. I seriously hope I do not need to deal with this map again. :p
