Warning! You should apply the 1.01 patch before applying the 1.10 patch. When I tried the 1.10 patch I got an error saying the patch was corrupt. But after installing the 1.01 patch and trying the new patch again everything worked out fine.
Black lives matter!
Wise words of warning from Smoove B: Oh, how you all laughed when I warned you about the semen. Well, who's laughing now?
Grabbed it before bed last night. It certainly looks interesting. Eldar got heavily nerfed (perhaps too much). Most of the changes are positive ones though. They even tweaked Rangers, but not enough to make them useful I fear.
There was a bug that prevented chaos from recovering from being broken sometimes. They appeared recovered but their stats stayed low. This is fixed apparently. Thank god. I won't have to watch my missile squad miss 20+ shots in a row while the enemy dread tears up my army.
Superhiro, this one's for you (and da Orkz). There was a quirk (in the game engine, not the data files, apparently) that prevented Orkz from gaining their morale modifiers for being in a big mob. A pre-patch work around was to reinforce your squads, then put them in a building. They only have to be in there for a sec, but after words, the game recognizes the actual squad size, instead of thinking there were only 4 Orkz per squad (for morale purposes). If you did this, with enough Orkz, they become IMMUNE to morale damage. Essentially, with enough Orkz close together, they eventually take no morale damage. They can be in a lot of little squads, or a couple of big ones. Either way, if they're close together...
I *think* the patch fixes the need to put them into a building first. I could be wrong though.
The 1% accuracy for being in F2 stance (stand and hold ground) while something engages you in melee is a HUGE gameplay change. Melee just become extremely important for ALL races. Expect tactics to change quite a bit, especially at the top levels of play.
All in all, a great first step towards a more closely balanced game.
Just tested the ork morale thing in a skirmish. Not fixed yet
But try this, build a buncha orkz. A couple of big squads or lotsa little ones. Make sure each squad enters a building at some point. Then send them en masse. Pay attention to their morale bars. Pretty cool eh?

I don't know about anyone else but it's been aggravating as hell trying to find the 1.01 patch. Anyone know an easy link to a nice location that's actually going to let me download the file?

Yes, connect to the online portion of the game and you will download the patch automatically.

Kelric, funny you mention that. I bought Dawn of War and Rome: Total War on their respective release dates. Been playing the heck out of DoW and Rome's barely been touched.
So you still have to make the units enter buildings before they get the morale boost? That's a pisser. At least they fixed the choppy damage.
I've checked out a few of the new maps - they're a mixed bag. Bloody River is a 1 vs 1 map and I think it's one of the best in the game. A couple of the new 2 vs. 2's, however, have so many resource spots that the game turns into a big unit spazzfest as you try to pump out as much as you can. I finished a game on that map with over 8,000 requisition on-hand.
This is a huge patch. I get the feeling we've just scratched the surface of the quirks and things that need to be fixed, but at least it's not Battlefield (1942 OR Vietnam).
