What’s New
Version 7.5.2
ADDED
• Mountain tile now got a summer version (without the snow).
CHANGED
• Huge amount of campaign scenarios updated to support both manpower + upkeep settings, as well as general balance. Actually, I think I finished revamping all 'Western' scenarios, all that's left to update now would be the Pacific ones.
• You now can (as a Neutral) send units to other players.
• AI will no longer purchase drop tank for its planes on small scale scenarios (waste of money).
• Extra recruitment time for: Political units (SS/Guards), Mech. / Mot. options.
FIXED
• AI would deploy anti tank obstacles in victory points.
• AI could waste its movement if it could kill a unit that was on an adjacent tile to him.
• Europe 1939, Italy should have owned Rijeka and Zadar (Balkans/Yugoslavia).
• AI engineers moving out from rivers when they should have stayed to help allies cross.
• AI not using pontoon bridges or engineers to cross rivers.
• When purchasing new units while the reserve panel was open, it would not refresh its content.
• If the unit you have selected was taking supportive fire, its stats would not be refreshed (selected unit stats shown on UI).
• More research points policy was broken, upon losing the policy, the extra research points would not be removed.
• UI size issue with transfer panel (cumbersome and couldn't always display all of the needed information).
• AI would often waste artillery attacks by moving more than 1 tile when it could have moved just 1. It will now move only 1 tile if it doesn't need to move closer to be able to fire at the enemy.
• ZiS-3 had too high stats.
• UI volume slider in game would not be set to its actual value when opening the UI.
• Your own armour obstacle would prevent your own armoured vehicles to move on the tile.
• When having the possibility to kill more than 1 unit, AIs bombers would not prioritize destroying the most valuable target.
• AI would place down many launch sites near each other (too close to really be worth it).
• Stalingrad 1942 standalone scenario would never end.
• Reaching max commander rank in campaign (20) was impossible. Therefore unlocking the associated achievement was impossible too.
• In map editor "hold VP" button would not properly work when setting the tile for a member of the Comintern faction (would work fine for Axis and Allies though).
• When a unit was granted a hero which provided a +1 visibility bonus, it would actually act as +2 visibility.
Ratings and Reviews
Gran juego, pero… (Great game, but…)
Uno de los juegos de estrategia por turnos más completo y dinámico de la AppStore, pero a la vez con cierto nivel de complejidad por lo que su traducción a otros idiomas, incluido el español, por supuesto, son fundamentales para llegar a más usuarios. Incluyan esta característica en su hoja de ruta.
One of the most complete and dynamic turn-based strategy games in the AppStore, but at the same time with a certain level of complexity so its translation into other languages, including Spanish, of course, is essential to reach more users. Include this feature in your roadmap.
Developer Response ,
Hi !
Thank you so much for the review !
I read about translation, unfortunately this is not really doable.
All the text in the game have been hardcoded and all the game was entirely designed with no translation in mind. This was my very first game and I didn’t know how to translate a game, this is why it was developed without translation.
Now I learned how to translate a game, but this would require such an immense amount of work (talking about days, if not weeks or more) which is, in my humble opinion, not necessary to the good functioning of the game.
All buttons in game have small icons usually which help a lot to understand what they do.
Any person with basic level english should be able to play without any major issue :)
Thanks again for the review my friend ! Glad you liked it !
Battle in Poland
Sad to say this battle is not realistic at the start of the war the polish aircraft had about 300 old aircraft, in your battle of Poland there are polish aircraft everywhere, even when an airfield is captured there are still aircraft all over the place. You have to refuel rearm and the polish air force can fly everywhere with no restrictions. The game is good but rely very heavily on aircraft, quite frankly stupid and tactically a non starter.
