Hello,

I would just like to know if anyone else is experiencing a problem I have encoutered with the game after installing the latest patch.

Playing the game in its original version 1.02 (v1.02.1489), when I access the Political View and click on the "Buildings" tab, I am able to see the provinces in which a certain building can be built worldwide - that is, not only in my own kingdom but other kingdoms as well. Help yourself to the following screenshot ("Library" building selected):

However, after installing the patch I am no longer able to view this information. Here's the screenshot from version 1.05 (v1.05.1532):

"Buildings" tab, latest version (v1.05) (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l292/Windwelder/traininggrounds.jpg)

As you can see, this time I selected "Training Grounds" building, which is a building that can be built anywhere. According to the screenshot it is only possible to see buildings that are already built in the provinces around Europe. However, whether or not a building can be built somewhere is left for the player to guess, which is rather annoying.

Now, my guess as to it being a bug (vis-à-vis some intended fix) derives from the simple fact that it is still possible (and quite easy, although, again, rather annoying) to calculate which provinces in the world are able to build some kind of a building (e.g. a Library).

I'm still not sure whether this problem affects only me or other people as well, and why.

Another example, although with the 1st patch, is that after I install it, the view of all the provinces from the minimap are gone. It looks like a geological map that might only be useful to a geologist, but it is totally useless in the game. This too I think is something unintended, but again I don't know whether it's just me or is it something ubiquitous.

I have strong suspicion that it affects only me since nobody else seems to complain about it. :confused:

You are not the only one, there was a big discussion about it right after the release of the 1.05 patch. No one is talking about it because it is such an old topic!

Seems you're right. I made a deeper search on the forum and found plenty of threads about that. That is so depressing! :sad:

While an old topic, it does still come up occasionally and some are either not installing (butr some for other reasons) and sticking with only the 1.03 parch, while others are just "living" with it for the most part. It's a matter of weighing the pros versus the cons and making your own decision. Some have even just recetnly obtained (or installed) the game, so the issue will still be around for some time I'm afraid. :rolleyes:

Sincerely,
Phil
