Made a few small updates...

Fixed Barracks bug (campaigns).
You must now manually select which troops you want to train in each barracks in the begin or they will not train any troops.
So barracks default to training NO TROOPS. You must update them.

Removed the 40 turn regeneration on resource buildings.
They no longer count down and go inactive. The only way to lose resource buildings now is by an enemy take-over/attack.

Added randomized Auto-Battles.
Each battle is different as it chooses random troops (3000 points worth), and BOTH players get the SAME troops.
Lower troops are more common, so formations are not all about high level troops anymore.
The first player in the game chooses the class.

Also fixed battles so there are no clan restrictions. Any player of any clan can battle any other plan regardless of clan affiliation.

Also made Novice Battles only available after you have reached Battle Level 20+. 4-player and Practice Battles are now Level 40+. So Auto-Battles are the only battles available until you reach lvl 20.

Fixed rankings so Clan games no longer effect your Campaign rankings (ranks will update after the completion of your next game).

Can no longer take-over walls/towers/palisades. They can only be destroyed by seige weapons or removed if they were built by you.

I never noticed a bug... BUT i have to say that when you fixed the bug you AUTOMATICALLY caused my barracks to spawn 600 Swordsmen!!! I think I had about 70 or 80 saved up so I got 500 free guys overnight. Also another barracks spawned hundreds of archers. 400 I think. Im not sure what happened. It only did this on barracks I BUILT and not on the ones I started with at the beginning of tha Cpn. Thoughts on this? ---StCrispin

No its not bug exploitation unless it was my intent to MAKE a bug do that.. It is a Bug since it just HAPPENED... Or a Glitch... My buildings are also still saying the 40 turn thing... Do I need to quit all my games and start new ones? Also... I won a campaign and it didnt count any data!!! AArrg!! My opponent got eliminated for not playing and I had been stomping him till he appearantly quit. Now theres no record of it. Another bug?

Please note the Smileys.
All games say 40 turns, They won't count down now.
Was it a begginers game that finnished??

It looks like the fix to battle games isn't quite doing it's job. I had to drop my clan to battle killerdude, and unlike before I can't join my clan again until after the battle's over...

why is that in place? The restriction that you cant battle a clansmen?

well, from my understanding it's a holdover from the coding that only allowed 20% of players in a campaign game to be from the same clan.

Req said he fixed it, but it looks like he hasn't quite got it yet...

Well, when we went over to double trouble (& the queue), the 20% thing seemed to go away. Not sure what the limit is now if any.
