What’s New

Version 7.4.0

ADDED
• New 'political map' overlay. At the push of a button, you can show/hide it. Combined with the keybind to hide units, you have full control over what's shown/hidden. It does not contain country names yet, I have thought about adding it but still cannot find any way to calculate where the name would be shown (for countries with colonies or with territories across sea).
• New policy category: National Focuses.
• Few new policies to go under that new category: Industrial overtime, Aggressive Propaganda, Military Scientists, Army Training, Resistance Suppression, Construction Engineering, • Commanders development program. Description is available in game :) The goal for this new category was to be more useful late game, to have something where you could have your • HQ points spent on a per turn basis automatically. Some of these policies do require a sacrifice of 1 HQ point per turn.
• New other policies: Bigger command centers, Highlands experts.
• Possibility to completely hide the in game UI by pressing F10 (+ new keybind).
• Possibility to assign/change a country's ideology in the map editor.
• AT infantry to Greece.
• AA units to Turkey.
• Basic AA and artillery to baltic states.


CHANGED
• Multiplayer compatibility -> 7.4.0.
• Economy / Occupation policies and income modifiers did not work as intended when a tile was occupied (modifiers applied on wrong value).
• Made policies lighter (data wise). Will make some late game save files a tad lighter/smaller.
• Increased Commanders units upkeep by quite a lot when playing with policies ON (15 upkeep vs 1 upkeep).
• Slightly changed the player slots setup in the map editor settings.
• Now showing the max cap of HQ points in both the store and the policies menu.
• Changed the 'map' button action to toggling the political map. I have disabled the old 'strategic' map.
• I have removed the hardcoded 'Winter fighting bonus' for the Northern countries, and instead, made it free for them to pick the Winter Soldiers military tactics policy.
• Political unit option no longer add an extra production turn.
• Mountaineer unit option now adds an extra production turn.
• Mountaineer option is now available for small AT guns and artillery guns.
• Several buildings graphics (Coastal batteries, factory, refinery).
• Supplies amount per tile penalty with complex supplies setting.
• Estonia country revamp (geography) on Europe scenarios.
• Latvia country revamp (geography) on Europe scenarios.
• Lithuania country revamp (geography) on Europe scenarios.
• Added missing naval convoy routes in Europe scenarios (other than 1939).
• Reduced a bit the AI's purchase rate of commanders.


FIXED
• Tile info displayed with mouse hovering would not display the right amount of income production if the amount was modified in the editor (on a per tile basis).
• AI buying too many AT infantry even when not needed.
• Changing faction in the diplomacy menu did not provoke a refresh of the income summary.
• Units with 0 movement points would not turn 'dark' once they had attacked (indicating they are out of actions). Example: Coastal batteries.
• Newly deployed units would not be darkened unless selected and unselected (force refresh).
• Units on small islands could not resupply if a single enemy was nearby.
• Trench tiles if set as VP when captured would yield a 'no translation' notification.
