v1.6.15 – 25th April 2024
① MP Allow Restarts option
• There is now an option in the MP challenge setup screen to “Allow Restarts” in Ranked custom battle challenges.
• This is to facilitate the use of the Slitherine Elo ranking system in player-run tournaments that allow either player to reroll the map at the start of the game if they deem it unsuitable. Mechanically, this entails one player conceding the game and then the challenge being set up again.
• If the “Allow Restarts” option is set, concessions will be ignored for Elo ranking purposes if they occur in either player’s first 2 turns. After the first two turns, the conceding player will be considered the loser for Elo purposes.
• Explanatory tooltips added to checkboxes in MP New Challenge setup screen.
② New Army Lists
• Meroitic 280 BC – 400 AD
• oAxumite 100-970 AD

v1.6.14 – 17th April 2024
① Bug Fixes
• Hopefully fixed bug (introduced in a recent engine update) affecting the texture rendering
of large terrain objects (e.g. villages & forests) when there is a unit in the same square.
This bug only seemed to affect some people’s systems.
• Note that shadows of such terrain objects disappear when there is a unit on the square.
This is intentional.
② UI
• Explanatory tooltips added to checkboxes in MP new challenge setup screen.

v1.6.12 – 08th April 2024
