The It Belongs in a Museum update is one of the most extraordinary ventures in the entire history of Administratum. It is built on the fragmented remains of an eventually ruined codebase which is () enclosed in a vast Git repository and projected forward in your browser to the precise moment of the End of your Memory. This is, many would say, impossible.
But impossible things are achieved every day, and today’s update brings you the tools to track them better than ever before. An Administratum v1 army importer, a new History view for your Rosters, and a whole host of other updates and improvements.
Administratum v1 Import
Now that you’re here in the new Administratum, do you find yourself pining for that one army that got away, forever trapped in Administratum v1? Lift those spirits, as you can now easily import your old rosters!
Importing your army couldn’t be easier. Simply download your Order of Battle as JSON from Administratum v1’s Download Your Forces page. Then head back to the new Administratum, go to the Rosters page, and click the “Import from v1” button. Select your file and Administratum will give you a one sentence preview. If things look good, click Submit and you’re all done!
But how are you to double-check each and every Crusade Relic and Relic, Battle and Battle Trait, Battle Honour and Honorific? Look no further than the other big feature of today’s update.
Roster History
Trying to remember why you spent that Requisition Point two months back? And didn’t your opponent’s Captain have a Battle Scar last week? No longer do you have to spend sleepless nights racking your brain for answers. Simply check the new History tab!
This screenshot barely scratches the surface of what’s tracked in the History tab. It has everything, and it has the receipts! Starting today, all Requisitions, Battle Honours, and Battle Scars will be accompanied by a behind-the-curtains style receipt that the History tab uses to provide an even better chronology of your Order of Battle. All previously purchased Requisitions and the like will still show up, but the new ones will be even better.
Each line of the History also includes a link to the related Order of Battle, Battle Report, or Unit for quick navigation. See an old Warlord Trait you want to check out? The link to the Unit is right there in blue!
So Many Other Things
As is our style, this update is also full to the brim with other changes: performance improvements on every page with tabs, Campaigns and Rosters are now ordered alphabetically instead of their previous weird pseudo-random order, and bug fixes for the “I submitted a Battle Report and it wasn’t recorded” bug. Big thanks to our Patrons and everyone who reported that that last one, it was a doozy.
