and allows plain-text setting of the detail help for that random map.

not be affected by the balance changes. Recorded games from all previous versions
are still supported and will replay as before): Fixed a bug in which Flaming
Weapons made Hammerships 10X too powerful.
Norse no longer get bonus favor from Longboats (this also means they don't contribute
Favor for Loki's free summoning).
Throwing Axeman attack dropped very slightly (-0.5). Valkyrie costs slightly
more (+5) Favor. Fire Giant normal attack does less damage, but his special
attack does more.
Kraken normal attack does much less damage, and is -100 hitpoints.
War Elephant attack (+2) and hack armor (+5%) increased.
Priest does more bonus damage (+2) versus Myth Units.
Network and other fixes:

includes better error messages on what to do to solve common ESO connection
issues. This should immensely help players using routers/NATs.
- Added improvements in establishing connections to other players.
- Fixed the “Drop Trick” bug. Players that force a disconnect early
will not be allowed to upload stats.
- Fixed the Vote dialog to expedite a no-consensus situation (related to drop
tricking) and to drop poor connections faster.
- Renamed ESO chat channels to be category based. ESO will also remember the
last chat channel you were in and, if possible, return you to that channel on
relogin.
1.04 Client Fixes
- Fixed an exploit that worked around the firing delay on ranged units.
- Fixed a scenario editor trigger corruption bug introduced in version 1.03.

repaired.

list of techs.
- Popup dialogs in the editor can now be dismissed with the 'ESC' key.
- Unit Balance Adjustments (NOTE: Save games from versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.02
will not be affected by the balance changes. Recorded games from versions 1.00,
1.01, 1.02 are still supported and will replay as before):
- Egyptian First Age farming is slower; Plow restores the rate.
- Plow takes longer to research.
- Ra's Chariots and Camelry have a smaller hitpoint bonus.
- Ra's Priests now empower gathering less than Pharaohs empower gathering.
- Mercenary Cavalry pierce and hack armor decreased.
- Build limits (max number you can have at one time) imposed on Mercenary (12)
and Mercenary Cavalry (8).
- Mercenary and Mercenary Cavalry lifespans are 5 seconds shorter.
- Heavy Chariot, Camel and Elephant improvements are more expensive.
- Chariot speed decreased (Ra's are still faster, but less fast than they were).
- Animals of Set cost 1 less pop slot.
- Heroes no longer get bonus damage vs. animals of Set.
- Set's Slingers have more hitpoints.

1.02 Client Fixes
- Fixed some possible timing exploits.
- Scenarios where the "Ulfsark" unit is forbidden no longer allow
Ulfsarks to still be created from Dwarves or Gatherers.
- Unit Balance Adjustments (NOTE: Save games from versions 1.00 and 1.01 will
not be affected by the balance changes. Recorded games from versions 1.00 and
1.01 are still supported and will replay as before):
Odin now gets his hunting bonus. The actual change was to increase Odin Villager
and Dwarf hunting rate from +10% to +20%.
* Thor's Pig Sticker improvement now affects hunting rate. The actual change
was to increase hunting rate from +10% to +20%.
* Loki's Ox Carts are now weaker instead of stronger. The actual change was
to subtract 80 hitpoints from Loki Ox Carts.
* Raiding Cavaly have +10% more Pierce and +5% Hack Armor. This should let Norse
counter archers more easily in the Classical Age.
* Norse Longhouse now costs 110 Wood instead of 130 Wood. This will let Norse
make more Longhouses.
* Isis Obelisks now cost 10 Gold instead of 5 Gold. This should prevent Isis
from making quite so many Obelisks.
* Egyptian Barracks now cost 75 Gold instead of 50 Gold. This will prevent Egyptians
from making quite so many Barracks.
* Ancestors now have 140 hitpoints instead of 180 hitpoints. This makes the
God Power a bit weaker, but will also affect Mummy Minions.
* Hippikons now take 20 seconds to train in Classical. They remain at 15 seconds
in Heroic and Mythic. This should make it harder for Poseidon especially from
having such large cavalry armies in Classical.
* Helepoli now have -15% Hack armor, occupy +1 pop slots, and have -50 hitpoints.
This should discourage the "all Helepoli armies" in Mythic.
Network and other fixes
- A fix to help address the stats 2,4 error has been added.
- Changed the input and output chat text color to white for easier reading.
1.01 Client Fixes:

* Requests for in-game saves are now counted as a pause towards the maximum
pause limit.
* Fixed DirectIP connection issues.
