Using the work of: wolfslayer, Quark, Rozanov, caralampio, Byg, Santiago de Pola, agart (strat model castles), Soupdragon (watchtower), Loose Cannon (beta tester), Point Blank (rr/rc), ziher (darker nights), y2day (unit info cards, faction symbols, splash screen), Horsearcher(skymod), Ketchup (text writer), Argent Usher (real horse), Csatádi (hungarian map), gewehr36 (pagan mongols), many other people that suggested features/reported bugs/delivered small fixes.




Installation:

To play, you need a clean SS 6.1 install (no byg or rr ticked during patch 6.1 patch install too, if you have a previous rc installed over clean 6.1 then its ok also).
This patch is not compatible with any submod right now.
To install, point the installer at the Medieval 2 folder, not the Stainless_Steel_6 one.

Difficulty system.
It has came to my attention that some people are not prepared for this sudden boost.
Right now:
easy/medium SS6.2(both are nearly same) = hard/very hard SS6.1(both are nearly same)
hard SS6.2 = really hard game
very hard SS6.2 = with some factions nearly impossible (try playing Late Era with moors, khwarezm or hre)

1. Bug Fixes
Fixed more bugs than you can imagine and corrected many typos, greatly enhancing game play and reducing the number of CTD's in strategy map to 0! (in over 30 150+ turn games no CTD at all!)
