Because many people complained about the fact I changed too many things and don't have a clue about balance, I made a new version of my patch.
I scrapped most of my ideas and I put all things which action suggested(except the gp combo's, but I still have to find a way to disable them.)
Patch 1.0.4
Client fixes
- Fixed a bug which allowed Kronos players to deconstruct Healing spring
- Fixed a bug which allowed mummies to kill the 2 age hero of poseidon with their special
- Moved Omniscience so that Kronos player can actually research it
Balance changes
- Ta's need a small boost: They get a reduction in training time(4 sec) and they get a bigger bonus vs inf(murms, fanatics, myrms) and +1 range.
- Odin hillforts are 20% cheaper(old cost of norse hilffort for Odin then).
- Odin jarls get their old bonus back(20% instead of 10%).

- Hetaroi's have +70 hp.
- Gastraphetes have 25 hp more

- Destroyers get a higher bonus vs buildings(*7 instead of *5).

- Vills train slower(38 seconds instead of 35 seconds)
- Atl. have no longer free medium archer upgrade.
- Kronos' fire siphons and chiero’s are 15% cheaper instead of 10%. Kronos' destroyers are 25% cheaper instead of 10%.

How to become a tester?
Very simple. Just post in this topic your eso name, you rate and your favorite god so I know you are a tester and then download the patch packet.
How more testers we have and how more games are played, how more feedback we have so we know or this changes are good or not.
Try to play many different match-ups(your god vs the other gods). Also try to play vs a tester who has the same skill level so skill level won't be a big influence during the games.
How to install the patch?
Before I continue, I want to say this:
I cannot be held responsible for any complications this patch may bring to your game or your computer. You aren't forced to be a tester or download this patch, but if you do, be conscious that there might be complications(I haven't had any problems so far, but you never know)
In the zip file you have different files. First you have to install aomed: this program is needed to extract some files in your aom which is necessairy to install this patch.
When you installed aomed, open it. When you opened it, there is a button called "set input data file". Click it and go to program files/microsoft games/aom/data and select data2.bar. Then click on "read data file" and the file will be extracted in the data map in aom. Then you click again on "set input data file" and go .../aom/godpowers and select the godpower2.bar. Then do the same as you did with the data2.bar.
Now you will see that there are more files in the data map and the godpower map.
Now go back to zip file, because you will need the other files now. First of all, copy the protox.xmb and the techtreex.xmb into your data map. They will ask to replace the current ones and click yes(important: make back-ups of these files so you can replace the new ones anytime with the originals).
Then you do the same with the implode.xmb, heroize.xmb(valor), serpents.xmb, chaos.xmb, pestilence.xmb, tremor.xmb(shockwave), spiders.xmb and undermine.xmb, but you copy these files in the godpower map instead of the data map(make back ups of the old ones, replace them then with the new ones.)
Congratulations you succesfully installed patch 1.0.4!
If there are any problems with the installing, if there are things that don't work reply in here and I see what I can do.
Also use this thread to give feedback on the changes(with rec pls so that we can have evidence).
The alpha tests will last about 2-3 weeks. All things which are too good of other suggestions to balance the game will be taken in consideration and will be applied in the beta tests so that we can create a good patch. I hope that I'm able to solve some problems by then(disable gp combo's, removing the medium archer upgrade, etc...).
