Hello,

Don't you think we could gather and discuss about releasing a last patch for the Unofficial patch line, or rather a corrected, final version of v1.03.25?

I read that there used to be a v1.03.26 scheduled in the past, but that it would hardly be completed now, because of lacking of resourceful people (coders, ...).

I understand that from several years on, the main effort was made on the The Protectors (or "WBC3.5"), and I don't suggest to divert the energies from this sustained project.

It's usually not very important that some minor flaws are overlooked in a patch, because you know there will be soon another patch to follow. But here, there is seemingly no patch to follow. Isn't it time to assess this sad situation? Unless I'm not aware that resource people are expected to work for the Unofficial line ever, I believe that v1.03.25 deserve to be made pristine... for all eternity.

Look, we have (for what I remember just now) :

- extra tiles extensions from the 1.035 Ahatch's mod

- extra slots for heroes' portraits from the 1.035 Ahatch's mod

- minor corrections to the help.cfg (v1.03.25) : extra meta informations, basic/elite/veteran, corrected prerequisites

- minor corrections to the quest.cfg (v1.03.25) : typos

- minor corrections to the army.cfg (overlooked in v1.03.25) : then Elven Hunter, at least.

- minor corrections to the campaign.xcr : the Yrm's shop, at least.

- any free text editing from the Protectors (e.g. Imperial Archer, Geomancy, ...)

We could add a bigger portraits archive (to not have to choose between the original and the alternate set), and a coherence check with the portraits used in campaign.xcr.

As it wouldn't touch to any actual v1.03.25 balance choice nor feature, it wouldn't concurrence The Protectors, nor would it add any maintenance extra work (once eventual typos in those text files are hunted down).

TL;dR

If v1.03.26 is never to see the light of day, perhaps we could pack all that can be corrected or added at "no" cost into a last corrective patch?
