Greetings,

I have submitted announcement to happypenguin.com, other announcements have been left to other people. If you do announce version 0.5.1 in some web-site please post about it to this forum and thread so we don't do duplicate submits/posts.

I am playing through 051 from the beginning to get a feel for the changes and noticed the changed maps it chooses (or I guess they are just rotated) and it's pretty good. However on the blackwater port scenario there are some units out of place.

First there are two soldiers who show up near the top where the orc starts, maybe they are supposed to be there but they look like the wizards guards and are about where they used to be (not to mention making it entirely too easy because they tie up the ocses the moment they come out of the gate).

Secondly, at the end of the scenarion the boat comes on and sails over the sea to the land nowhere near the docks, then continues on through some fields and into a forest.

Hmm and when you get to anduin (is it flipped?) it sails right past the ork onto the land again. Nifty Boat

Which OS are you playing on? Where'd you get the installation package from? Are you sure you overwrote your old data files and recompiled the program properly?

It sounds very much like you are playing a game using the new executable with old data files (or old executable with new data files).

It may be that I started game.exe rather than wesnoth.exe but when I loaded a save game it asked me about varient version and played fine, I saw this behaivior starting a campaign from scratch.

Just restarted a campaign from scratch again using wesnoth and not seeing the changed starting map or other stuff.
