The impossible happens- MULTIPLAYER
Christian announced on the 3DO Message Boards that NWC sent 3DO the patch for final testing and approval! It should be available to the public in the upcoming week. It also fixed a lot of the major bugs:
Added support for Multiplayer sessions. See the "Multiplayer" section for details.
Correctly implemented the [Space Bar] hotkey in the Army Info Screen and its effect on troop movement.
Eliminated an undesirable side effect of the 'H' and 'T' hotkeys and army stack 'drag and drop'.
Having a Hypnotized mage cast Town Gate during combat now gates out the mage's controller's army, eliminating a crash if the mage's owner's army had nowhere to go.
The Teleport and Displacement spells are now affected by Magic Resistance when cast on hostile creatures.
The Purse of Penny Pinching now correctly reduces the cost of troops when purchasing them.
Fire Ring spell can now be used around friendly units including the caster.
Heroes can now use Holy Water on themselves.
In Siege combat, the castle walls now give the attackers the ranged-attack penalties.
In Siege combat, the defenders can now target points outside of the castle with spells like Fireball and Fire Ring.
The experience point allotment from the Stealth Skill has been adjusted to match that of combat.
Dead heroes no longer gain Stealth experience.
You can now cast attack spells on creatures you control via Hypnotize.
Casting Town Gate while on a boat no longer leaves you as a land boat.
The Campaign High Score screen now displays the correct creature portrait for the level attained.
Item and creature giving placed events now distinguish between a Human player and a computer player.
Sanctuary spell now lasts for 6 rounds and cannot be recast by the same Hero for 3 rounds after it has expired.
Players can no longer Right-Click on Armies covered by the Fog of War or are hidden by a Hero with Stealth.
Robe of the Guardian is now correctly represented on the Hero right-click screen in Combat.
When learning magic skills from a University or Seminary, you now get the mage guild spells at the time you learn the skill.
Sacrifice can no longer be cast on troops you don't own but temporarily control via Hypnotize.
The Martyr link is broken whenever the protectors are hypnotized or un-hypnotized.
Hypnotize and the mermaid's hypnotize ability can now be used to cancel existing hypnotizes.
When an enemy army uses charm or diplomacy to bribe some of the player's creatures, they now get a message box telling them about the creatures lost.
Added a more descriptive message when trying to Town Gate out of combat to a town that is too close and is the only one that player owns.
The combat AI now allows the last frame to play before their action.
When switching to another town in the town window, the correct town music now plays.
The patch also includes 5 new maps with multiplayer support.
This is very exciting!
Amen.

The order campaign and nature, but that's probably because I don't really like the other armies

Nice to see they actually noticed the bug in the fire ring spell. It will be lots better this way.

It's called saving. Perhaps you should try it sometime
Wow. I expected to see more cynicism about this issue...but so far the news has gone over well, better than the Mapmakers' Contest, at least, so I'm glad about that...
But I'm even more glad that we finally have MUTLIPLAYER!!!!! Look out HC, Xenophanes is online now!!! MWAHAHAHAAA!!! (Okay, I'm going to shut up now, so that I dont' end up biting off more than I can chew... )

Ah. I suppose not. I've looked at the TOH page a few times, and can never understand it, so I'll just take your word for it
