1.7.3
Sat, 14 November 2020


- Change : Stats change to Tiger I and KV-85, IS-1 and ISU-122.
- Change : No more 0 damage + retreat.
- Change : The way the AI resupplies its units. Before, when the unit had under 35 HP it would automatically resupply it. I made that more random now. Not completely random, but chances will be higher if the HP are low than if they’re high. There will always be a chance now for it to resupply any unit.
- Change : Remade scenario Campaign of the Low Countries.
- Change : Fix price for Gustave Schwerer : 750.
- Change : Updated stats of units from : Netherlands, Great Britain, Belgium, France, USA.

- Fix : Paratroopers having no fuel when being dropped.

- Change : Hills now have a 10 defense bonus and forest hills 25.
- Change : Katyusha production date (14th July 41).
- Change : Improved armour for the T-34s and Panzer IVs / Panthers.
- Change : Stats to soviets fighters.

Diplomacy, placeable mines, new scenarios, and more

Heeeeelloooo everyone :D

Oh, I'm so happy I can finally release the update, it's now been more than 24h since I released one, I started to feel BAD ! :D


So here we go, changelog for today:

Additions

•   A new wallpaper that is more than beautiful. Everyone says thank you to @Jules, my brother, responsible of the art ! The idea was taken from a photograph taken during the battle of Uman, during Operation Barbarossa.
•   Operation Doppelkopf.
•   Courland Pocket.
•   Korsun Pocket.
•   Supply planes for major countries. Supply planes are just like supply ships. They are used to resupply units that can't be resupplied otherwise (encircled, supply route cut off etc). Just bring the plane next to the unit in need, and a yellow circle will appear on your unit. Click it, and tadam, your unit has been resupplied.
•   Bunkers, Coastal batteries and mines can now be bought in the store out of the editor.
•   Mines ? Did I say mines ? I said mines ! They're back ! But this time, as units, not tiles. You can place land mines using engineers, removing land mines only works with engineers. A unit that will walk into a minefield will be stopped and won't be able to attack during its turn. What about naval mines I hear ? Fear not, they are back as well. Use destroyers to remove or place naval mines wherever you want ! Mines are always visible to all units.
•   A SLEEP BUTTON. YES. I know some of you are playing on those huge Europe maps, I finally got you covered and this function will save you, and me as well lol. What is this sleep button I hear in the back ? When pressing this button with your unit selected, the unit will "sleep", and won't be included in the "prev" "next" unit list. If you played Civilization they got the same thing. What's the use I still hear ? Well, let's pretend you have > 100 units. And you got a bunch of them that are in garrison / AA. When you finish your turn, I hope you double check you played every unit. Well now imagine you have to go over the 20 same useless units that never moves every turn. This is a pain, and those who felt it know what I'm talking about, for the others, just try it :D
•   More informations about your units. What do I mean by that ? Well, maybe you didn't use that panel (When right clicking on a unit), but now you certainly will more ! Every unit will keep its history from now one. It is save compatible, everything is by the way. What I mean by history is the date at which the unit was commissioned, when it captured equipment, when it captured what city, when it destroyed what unit, or even when it got what hero or even when it surrendered ! You will now be attached to some units I can tell you, since you will have a real history !
•   DIPLOMACY . Yeah I know you were probably skimming through the lines looking for it. I placed last so I was sure you'd read all the previous new content hehehe. So what's up with diplomacy ? It's a new menu featuring all countries of the map, and you can now interact with them. It's currently a first version so don't expect too much from it haha, but you can at least do the basics ! (Declaring war on anyone, sending money to anyone). More functionalities will be added based on player ideas / my own.

Changes

•   Damage of the Nebelwerfer 40cm. They were too low for what it is.
•   You probably noticed the quite fat update today (550MB), this is due to the fact that I found a new way to export the game which make it more compressed, so instead of weighing 2.6GB, Operation Citadel now weighs only 800 or so MB !
•   Cities' names won't dynamically change anymore. This created huge performance issues, and was not necessary. I can make them bigger if needed, or simply create a setting where you can set your own size. Let me know what you think is best, please :)
•   I made the objectives window wider so they could be displayed in 1 line instead of being cut.
•   AI currently and still will be able to leave its defensive position if there is an empty enemy victory point in range to capture it. The issue was artillery, they would do the same thing even though they can't capture anything. Maybe it's a fix idk.
•   The camera won't follow useless units anymore (defensive units that simply dont move), it will only move towards a unit that will actually do something. This will, I hope, help with the camera moving in all directions too often haha, I know some would get sick.
•   Talking about camera and AI, I made the Slow AI option in the settings even slower, I got some people asking, so I deliver :)
•   Infantry now is sensible to terrain. It can't move in all directions at a cost of 1 MP per tile.

Fixes

Well actually not so many, I think I did a good job the previous days and I am finding few bugs :D
•   On mobile and on android especially, I forgot to add some maps I previously added in older updates.
•   Low ammo yellow icon or low fuel icon showing on units where it shouldn't be shown, ex : V1 or V2 etc.
•   Supply ships didn't resupply properly, it is now working perfectly !


Well, that was a LONG one ! I didn't even eat today lmao, that is how involved I am. Yeah it's bad I know I'm aware but I couldn't stop working >_<

I wanted to let you know, the DLC is on its way and coming soon ! (Music DLC)

I really hope you will all like this update ! Leave your questions / suggestions / ideas in the comments, I will always answer :)

Cheeers

1.8.4
Mon, 23 November 2020



- Change : Game will now be paused when opening the menu.
- Change : You can now access the diplomacy menu when the AI is playing in AI only games.
- Change : AI will now play all its units a SECOND time after it played all of them once. Don’t worry, this won’t really add much waiting time. The reasoning behind it is currently the AI plays its units ONCE and in order (recon first, then bombers, then CAS planes, then fighters, then ships, then artillery, then tanks / infantry etc). But this isn’t ideal as I noticed while playing, since lets say the recon car can move twice right, so recon is on an adjacent tile of an enemy city. Now in this city, there is an enemy infantry. Now around this city, AI has got some artillery that will play after the recon car, they manage to kill the infantry inside, or bombers even, whatever haha. The point is, since the recon car is playing first and being played only once, this doesn’t allow for the AI to capture the city until next turn until the recon car plays again. So now, with this possibility, with units that still can attack or move given a second chance to play will allow the AI to be more efficient and not miss any potential capture of an enemy victory point :) So yes, this will add more time to the AI playtime, but not so much in most cases since as I explained, if a unit can’t attack and can’t move anymore, it won’t be played a second time, its really those that could do something more during their turn :) So, its adding time for the ones that can actually do something useful.
- Change : Automatically turns OFF “Historical focus” when playing a campaign. Having it ON would cause issues since some countries simply wouldn’t start attacking others, so you could have an AI being inactive because historically it wasn’t at war yet or stuff like that.
- Change : The size of the city now will matter in how much supplies will be carried to your unit when you want to resupply it. Resupplying from a smaller city will now reduce the total amount of supply getting to you by 50%. And if the place has been bombed (soon there will be an update where there will be destroyed version of tiles), the supplies you can get max out at 25%. So what all this means is : You got your infantry in a bombed city. You got 10 / 100 HP. The percentage that will be shown on the left will be 25, so when you’re gonna hit that resupply
- Change : The urban tiles wealth production changed : for cities : 5, 10, and 50. Refineries 50, and factories 25.

- Fix : One really rare instance of AI freeze while capturing cities due to the new unit’s history feature (once in 25 turns of AI only Europe).
- Fix : Little non important issues with the AI loading bar (not properly being refreshed, nothing scary).
- Fix : You can finally attack a unit and destroy the city at the same time (not only one of them anymore).

1.9.0
Thu, 26 November 2020



- Added : V1 and V2 launch sites (as units, so destroyable).
- Added : Destroyed version of all urban tiles (Harbours, cities, factories / refinieries, airfields). More will come later (bridges for example).
- Added : New soundtracks DLC. It’s called the support pack. I made it so those who wanted to support my brother’s work and mine could do it this way, by getting something in return :)
- Added : Disable weather particles option in the settings.
- Added : Heavy and Light cruisers NATO symbol.
- Added : On mobile, change brush size in the map editor.

- Change : Compression level of the game when exporting it. Weight will increase by a bit, but this should, I hope, prevent further updates to reach 500MB each. This is a test. If it doesn’t change anything, I might go back to the original compression level which had none, but at least updates were really small. Once the game will reach a final stage, I will finally use the biggest compression rate to have the smallest game possible, since it won’t receive updates that often.
- Change : Aachen belonged to Belgium instead of Germany on the Europe map.
- Change : Paratroopers can now blow up bridges just like engineers.
- Change : Airfields can now be bombed and won’t be usable for 2 turns after being bombed.
- Change : NATO counters colours. They now have a per country colour using the proper wargame colour code vs previously it was 3 colours only (allies, enemy, ours). I will later do colours per type like, guards could be red, etc. Upon suggestions :) If you are not satisfied with the colours, please, write me an email or comment here with the RGB values + country name, and I shall change the colour for the next update !
- Change : Revamp of the following tiles : Airfields, small villages, cities, refineries, factories, Harbours.

- Fix : Sd. Kfz. 233 had AA attack sound.
- Fix : Supportive plane hidden is glitching with ground unit under it (was it the last graphical glitch with units.
- Fix : Countries not attacking each other in Europe map with historical focus OFF.
- Fix : Game started muted.
- Fix : Added supply ships to USA forces landing on Iwo Jima campaign.
- Fix : Anti Air units could capture cities.
- Fix : Rare instance of AI freeze.
- Fix : Wrong sounds being played when a bomber retaliated on a fighter or when a boat retaliated on a bomber.

Fri, 27 November 2020



- Change : Hungarian colour with NATO counters.
- Change : Added 2 villages on Iwo Jima campaign scenario.

- Fix : Couldn’t send money to other players.
- Fix : Custom tile graphics didn’t work so well since I was Contains() instead of == for finding the custom tiles graphics. You could replace graphics you didn’t mean to not on purpose.
- Fix : Battle of Montecassino scenario was broken.
- Fix : Diplomacy menu not being scaled properly.

- Added : New big scenario map : Italy 1943. If you found the allied campaign of Italy too short, you will LOVE this new map. Size is 150 x 166.

- Added : After a lot of people told me they found hard to notice / spot airfields, I decided to add a new highlight airfields feature.
- Added : US rangers unit for the USA.

- Change : MG team has been renamed to Heavy infantry.
- Change : New graphics for all harbours in the desert. There now is a desert version of them !
- Change : Mortar team renamed to Infantry support.

How to upload your map to the workshop
Wed, 2 December 2020



Hey everyone !

So, I don't know if you guys used the editor, if so, how did it go ?

Since multiplayer is coming soon, I thought I'd make a quick video tutorial on how to create and upload your own scenario to the workshop.

I made a video on youtube :




It's really short, 4min52, and I show you exactly how to create a map, upload it to the workshop, then subscribe and play it for yourself (or in case its someone else's map for example).

Hope I will see more of your content on the workshop !

Val

1.9.3
Wed, 2 December 2020

- Added : You can now make peace with other countries. To do so, here’s the logic (temporary, if someone has a better idea, go ahead, you know the drill) : As a weak country, you need to pay 5 times your production / turn money amount to the country you want to make peace with. As a powerful country, you need to have more than twice the number of VPs as the country you want to make peace with.

- Fix : The number of core units never going up in campaign (thanks Doc for that one).
- Fix : Resupply could be done twice. This actually was a bug, I only know understood what it was. So basically, you know that to resupply it is based on a % of supplies coming to your unit from the closest city. Well that thing is, since you can only get a % of the total, so for example 80% and you are out of fuel completely, well you can get 80% back MAX. So when you did it twice, it basically went up a first time to 80%, and the second time, that you shouldn’t have been allowed to do, basically killing the supply mechanics, was going from 80 to 100.
- Fix : On windows, quick saves wouldn’t be saved with time + date because on windows you can’t use “:” in a file name. Lame somehow, buy a Mac !! (So now instead of being written : 01-12-2020 8:30 its gonna be 01-12-2020 8h30. At least it works now.
- Fix : Broken achievement : kill a unit using a V1.

- Removed : Possibility to mod NATO counters. I will strive to obtain the best looking counters myself, please, tell me if you don’t like them, and if so, show me what I should do instead, that would greatly help. If you want to even make them yourself / design them, please do, and I will happily use yours in the game ! You will even get your name in the credits :)
