▶ IMPORTANT: Hex of Steel is a graphically intensive game. For the best experience, especially in the largest scenarios, we recommend using a device with a strong GPU/CPU. Devices from 2017 onward, like the iPhone X, should handle these scenarios smoothly. However, all devices can access the extensive campaign mode and engage in thrilling multiplayer battles. ◀

What’s New
Version 7.7.4
ADDED
• 2cm Flak to Slovakia.
• Possibility to annex territory through the Territory management UI (making captured territory your own, removing the occupation penalty).
• When you try to deploy a unit, the cooldown for destroyed tiles will now be shown (on top of the minimal occupation time).
• Excelsior UK heavy tank prototype.
• T14 US heavy tank prototype.
• Light infantry 43 for Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
CHANGED
• Multiplayer compatibility is now 7.7.4.
• Ships upkeep cost (lowered).
• Cost to refuel ships (lowered).
• AI ships will now focus on going primarily towards naval capturable victory points instead of rushing coastlines.
• AI fighters will be more careful when engagement ground targets and taking back supportive fire (less aggressive as a whole to let bombers perform this role, so that they can better focus on escorting or air supremacy).
• AI planes starting their turn over an enemy unit, and attack right away will now use all of their movement points instead of just 1.
• Winter now lasts one less month. Snow starts falling on November 15th, and will start melting on March 15th (Before, it was from November 1st to April 1st).
• Balance on Europe 1939 standalone scenario.
• AI fighters will now seek air superiority at all times. Meaning destroying enemy fighters.
• AI order of play of its paratroopers and fighters (paratroopers now playing before fighters so that fighters can properly escort them if needed).
• AI order of play of all of most of its units. Units closer to the frontline will now play first (basically the play order is now based on their distance to the frontline).
• AI will prioritize playing its units that are sitting on harbours first to help with starting landings.
• Way the modified base game units are saved. It is fully failsafe now. Before, some cases were found where units duplicated themselves, and as a results some modifications were never applied. This update not only improves the system, but also patches any mod (upon loading) that suffered from this.
• Prototypes no longer count in the research tree. You are not forced to research them to move on through the techs.
• Small performance improvements during AI turns.
• Improved AI target picking routine.
• Units embarking in trains can now move right after doing so.
• Units embarking in landing crafts can now move right after doing so.
• Units embarking in air transports can now move right after doing so.
FIXED
• Real time multiplayer: You could not end your turn sometimes.
• Translation issues.
• Damage UI elements not being shown when the unit dealing the damage was not in the camera's FOV.
• Planes with range > 1 could not target ground units at a distance greater than 0 (right underneath them) with mods.
• AI was not using up manpower when purchasing new units when playing with the 'realistic manpower' setting... Oopsie.
• AI pathfinding issue, where when given a goal (tile to move to), if it could not reach it, it would just sit there instead of trying to get something else to do.
• AI ships did not prioritze capturing enemy VPs when they were in reach.
• AI gunboats did not move.
• Instances of AI recon land units or artillery units or fighters (during escort missions) not moving because they were assigned a goal they could not reach.
• Aggressiveness on AI planes was set too high which could lead to suicide attacks.
• Embark/Disembark button not showing up when staying on an enemy VP (in a train).
• Crazy movement points with trains when playing on turn 1, saving, and loading that save, then getting out of the train.
• AI ships sometimes not moving at all (in very specific cases).
• Potential movement path visualization could not work when a unit was in a landing craft on a harbour and you were pointing at land right next to it.
• AI trying to cover its naval victory points, although it would be useless since they cannot be bombed.
REMOVED
• Hardcoded Soviet income debuff (-50% economy up to June 22nd 1941).
