In EE2X hase reflections from units under water. Not a great bug, but visual it not looks cool. Fishs and submarine have in EE2 not a underwater reflection, but EE2X have it.

That's strange, because @Sat42 posted screenshots from the normal EE2, with this problem. So I wonder if it's something on EE2 or AOS, or both...

That are all from EE2X, from the Maasai Campaign. I think is it hard coded, and so not fixable by ddf scripts.

Hey guys!!

Yes as Dr.MonaLisa said, I experience this with vanilla EEII! Would be glad to know myself the cause of this - maybe it is related to new graphics drivers?
In any case, sorry for the absence, I have to admit I decided to postpone my delving further into EEII + Expansion (with Developers version, which I hope fixes the above mentioned issue) because of IRL stuff (which is fine, it's just a phase). I absolutely intend to play more and then create SP scenarios (very excited to try my hand at the editor, I have lots of ideas for history-based stuff, since I love history! but only once I've done the official campaigns to know what the game has to offer better - though I have already mentally registered the unique units available for Epochs 1-5).

Thanks again for all the explanations last time Dr.MonaLisa, I will report back and long live this community! The game is really quite something...
(also will check those community campaigns you mentioned in the regular 1.5 version! on http://ee.heavengames.com/new/ee2h/ I also found one scenario which is apparently great - with in-game cinematics! I should download it now probably, and it would really be great to learn how to make cinematics for SP maps!)

Some good scenarios from ee.heavengames were included to the "normal" version of UP1.5. They're accessible by the Campaign menu.

Excellent! :) By the way, the scenario I mentioned is "Siege of Troy", just downloaded and quickly tested to see if it works but the vanilla GOG EE2X install says it is "unsupported version: 434" lol.

Hope "normal" UP1.5 has it!!

Haha man that's great!! :D

Now I can go and sleep properly - I know everything is there and it works!

I also downloaded material which constitutes a sort of Scenario Editor Guide, including the Scripting Bible

The Scripting Bible was already available in Scripting Docs folder, after patch 1.2 installation.
