Most important change to note is that Green Fairies now only cost 60 Magic and 20 Sake, and had their Faith cost completely removed.

[Stuffman]

- There's a balance forum now, too bad that doesn't do any good for us :V
- Mini-Suikas buffed a lot, they now have half the HP and attack of a red unit at the same level (at 1/4 the cost!)
- Reimu's attack buffed.
- Sanae builds the Town Center in 90 seconds at Normal (was 120)
- Catfish attack buffed a bit (still sucks), movespeed adjusted (can't remember if it's faster or slower, I think it's a tad faster), Earthquake damage numbers switched around a bit
- Okuu now flashes CAUTION! with a quick 3-2-1 countdown before using nuke
- Jeweled Pagoda has 600 HP instead of 1000
- Alice High-Class Green doll had the faith cost removed too, of course (and had their HP bug fixed)
- Alice herself now costs 50/50/50 instead of 150 points (good)

Can't decipher this:
・幽々子のスペル使用時の移動速度を全てのレベルで固定に変更 (something affecting Hakugyokurou)

How do I find people to play this with :|

[Be Pok U (1998 burst style)]

Plan a game night?  :3

[zarfoobla]

Best way is to plan it. Otherwise, you'll wind up using the matchmaking server and getting put against JP players.

Patch 1.13 out. No actual gameplay changes, but fixes a hash check bug during netplay.

My sadly lacking Japanese sees "level,"  "speed", and "Yuyuko's super" in there, but that's about it.  Would help if there was some numbers attached so I could tell exactly what they did with it.

Get someone to make a translation patch.

It's only a speed adjustment for when her spellcard is activated. Feels a bit faster to me, but I never really touched Hakugyokuro so I wouldn't know.

[Youkai of Tea]

Get someone to make a translation patch.

Already been done a while ago actually. The game will kick everyone out of the match if someone isn't running the patch though, so you'll be unable to use matchmaking.

[Stuffman]

Turns out the Yuyuko thing just made it so her ability has the same speed at all levels.

Get someone to make a translation patch.

C'mon man I made that wiki for a reason, there's not that much stuff to remember :[

Anyone who wants to play, hit me up anytime I'm on IRC. Maybe the weekend after this one I'll arrange a game night for it.

Hey guys, one place you can find some people to play with is Soku Lobby (http://www.plus1coins.com/projects/soku_lobby/). We've been playing it on and off since it came out and using your thread for info along with a DJS one: /forum/index.php?/topic/65605-age-of-ethanols/ for some various bits (need account). (I don't know what the story is with this forum replacing that with google.com. Taboo?)

The translation "patch" is a replacement file for the data01.pack. This will cause the story mode to not function on stage 1 (at least, and was 1.11's), and yes, requires everyone use it in netplay. Just keep an updated original lying around before "patching." One thing to keep in mind is that the Data01.pack is replaced in the latest patch (1.13), so I don't know what we'll be losing when we use the current English patch, (which was incomplete for 1.11, btw, not sure now,) 1.12's. See here for English: http://digital-haze.net/ageofethanols.php

A little Lobby advertising if you don't mind:
Soku Lobby is, of course, a good way to play th12.3/Soku/"UNL" and can be helpful in smoothing out lag etc., and now also allows those who have not port forwarded to host via relay to a New Jersey (I believe) server, and you are able to turn weather on/off (fully only, for now), particular stages and bgm's on/off. We have a wide range of player skills, so please consider joining. As with any real-time gathering, it's a good place to th9/PoFV 1v1 as well, and others.

[Imbajoe]

Hi everyone, loving the game so far. Unfortunately I'm running into a bit of a snag. Whenever I play online, my game crashes whenever either I or anyone else in my guy uses the chat.

Here are the error messages it gives me:



I don't speak the language, so I don't know what the problem could be. If anyone could translate for me, or if anyone knows a fix for this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!

[Leerius]

I can't translate this for you but, as far I played with people online the problems was either someone didn't patched his game or someone tried to join with a firewall.
Also, 1.14 (and english patch) out, I wonder what are the changes anyone can help too ? ^^'

- Trees last longer?
- Youmu's bonus to Red unit's attack was adjusted somehow.
- Muenzuka flowerbeds have reduced HP.
- Orin's ability was nerfed.
- Alice had some bugs fixed.

Other changes:
- Only white units can make booze in the brewery now (any unit could before, I guess it was a bug)
- You can ping on the minimap by clicking your middle mouse button.

I'm having the same problem as Imbajoe BTW, ever since I patched, any time I enter a message (even in single player) the game crashes. Using AppLocale doesn't fix it. I can't do more testing this way because I can't enter cheat codes D:

EDIT:
from error.txt:
error = System.ArgumentException: VbStrConv.Wide and VbStrConv.Narrow are not applicable to the locale specified.

But, again, AppLocale doesn't fix it. Not sure how to address that.

[Roukuro]

Hi there, i had the same problem as imbajoe and Stuffman. I solved it by switching the time format to Japanese. Control panel >regional language options>formats. Such a strange fix isnt it?

Thanks a bunch Roukuro! Can't believe it needed such a simple fix. Oh well. Oh to the races~

[Roukuro]

The reason why this fix works is because, VbStrConv.Wide and VbStrConv.Narrow are not applicable to locales not of east asia. As in we cant use them unless our computers are in an asian locale. It just so happens that this truly was a locale error and for some reason microsoft visual basic wont believe our computers are truly set to japanese locale unless the time format is changed as well. This is even if we change the locale option under regional settings. Even more strange is that the game works without being in Japanese locale so long as you have the time format changed. Most doujin games don't have this problem but some of the other touhou ones do.
