v3.9.2 Hotfix-Patch [OUTDATED] file

NOTES/KNOWN ISSUES
1. The "hold F1 flag" can't be used together with advanced formations (jkl; like shieldwall), otherwise selected soldiers MAY start to move backward to the edge of the map. With "advanced formations" use mini-map, "hold this position" and "advance/fall back ten paces" to move groups around. POP's default (build-in Warband's) formations work fine.
2. The new garrisons/prisoners hotkeys - on very very rare occasions, due to improper usage by players (e.g. tries to move stacks that consist 1 soldier), may produce unexplained errors. It have never happened in my or betatesters games, but 2 players somehow managed to break it. It may be due to old game engine.


ISSUES/BUGS
1. NPCs' Custom Minor Orders
- expanded safety checks for armor pieces
- knights will be properly divided into infantry, archers and cavalry during order creation
2. Player's Custom Knighthood Order
- accessing page or changing the order/knight/sergeant name won't reset knight's gender to male
- on rare occasions minimum upgrade cost (1k) and time (1 day) wasn't applied
3. DIALOGUES
- on rare occasions traveler asked for rumor and wanted to talk about hidden treasures, might replay in a not usual way
- rare random window's title when player use TAB during combat
- the option to increase morale at the tavern doesn't takes prisoners into account
- pretenders acting as kings won't offer to join player's faction
- player talks with Red Brotherhood's ransom broker -> he/she has troops to offer -> he/she describes offer -> player access reports (by keys shortcuts or by clicking NPC picture) -> player switches between all tabs then return to the dialog window -> no options to choose from, no way to leave window except ALT+F4
4. SCENES
- passage hall -> courtyard in: Taloncrag Castle, Evasolde castle
- Haringoth Castle siege AI
- Silveredge Keep wooden ramp between roof and tower
- Uhnun enemy's spawn point
- Singal added siege's chest
- cleaned "a bit" Elacrai siege scene
- Ravenstern ladder
5. ITEMS
- Jatu Mask Helm head clipping
6. QUESTS/MISSIONS
- player sent companion for a RTR mission -> companion returns -> player has "rewards troops" in the party already -> "rewards troops" won't be added
- improved interaction between Kaverra and Vanskerries
7. MENUS
- Stag Armour not showing in one of the POP's achievements - replaced with Fierdsvain Noble Surcoat
8. SIEGES
- when enemy decides to "sally out", all player's long ranged units will receive only up to 5 projectiles; before some items were omitted
- exploit: player besiege fief -> player's archers has no ammo left -> player falls in purpose to avoid standard retreat penalties -> player's archers replenish ammo -> player restarts siege -> ...
- after successful siege caravans, faction KO patrols and village patrols were not transferred to the player faction
- added Elacrai to the killcount exception list
9. BATTLES
- if "Horse Archers AI" is enabled to all and during the battle player gives order "follow me" or "hold position", horse archers won't move towards the map's edge
- corrected pop_standguard_long animation
10. SOUND
- fixed rgl_log Sword_clash_26.flac, Sword_clash_27.flac, fl_pistol.WAV warnings / not playing on Linux systems (case sensitive)

- added confirmation to the pre-battle "Surrender" option
2. DIALOGS
- Village Elder may sell up to 9 cows in one transaction

- swapped map icons between Eyegrim and his patrols
6. QUESTS
- knighthood order:
-- Valkyries and Krakens - changed primary bounty enemies from "party template sea_raiders" to "faction vanskerry" in order to account raiding armies towards progress
-- if player is doing the order challenge quest, then rewards troops from companions' RTR missions won't join current (knights & sergeants) player's party straightaway (they will be added to the main forces).
-- the bounty quest - "bounty points" given after each battle are proportional to the player contribution (party strength); bringing low number or/and quality units to aid strong friends in a fight will yield very few "bounty points" (minimum 1)
- rewards of the guildmaster's track down bandits quest are proportional to the player contribution (party strength) in the final battle (when targeted enemy is defeated; minimum 100 gold and 100 xp)
- "offer protection to Caravan Master" - increased gold and xp reward (min-max 5-1160 -> 60-2480) to be more in line with similar quest given by Guildmaster
7. Noldor gets similar bonus if player initiate or join fight against them and autoresolve
8. Character creation, "former knight" background - added the post 3.611 orders to the possible -5 starting relations with player

10. OTHER
- put additional safety layer to the pay day routine
11. TOWNS' CHESTS
- Windholm: Unicorn Plate and Dragonspine Axe -> Kraken Shield and Trident
