This document is designed to give the reader a brief overview of the changes
that have taken place in patch 1.3 which will affect the game.
Refer to this document if you encounter difficulties with one or more aspects
of installation or running the Rome: Total War™ game. Many of the most commonly
encountered issues are covered here.

INSTALLATION & SET UP ISSUES
Minimum System Requirements
These have not changed from the original version of the game.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES
Balancing
There are a number of improvements that have been made to the Balancing of the
game, which will change the way that the game is played.
* Spear bonuses against cavalry have been increased (they were previously hard
coded and are now moddable, in addition to mount_effect)
* Braced spearmen (standing ready) now reflect part of any attacking cavalry’s
charge bonus back on the horse
* Adjusted most units’ charge bonuses to improve play balance (especially for
cavalry) in response to charge code changes (which fixed an issue for higher
bonus values)
* Reduced archery attack for some elite units
* Reduced secondary non-phalanx attack for stronger phalanx units
* Adjusted incorrect shield attribute for several units (to reflect models)
* Fixed Egyptian desert axemen armour
* Fixed bug for early and late Thracian and Scythian generals
* Reduced archer attack from chariots and elephants, and reduced dog attack
