What’s New
Version 7.7.2
Sorry, previous changelog got messed up. This one combines version 7.7.1 and version 7.7.2 changelogs.
ADDED
• NATO garrison icon.
• Plenty of new units for Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran. They are now fully playable nations.
• Some new infantry units to Mongolia as well as some graphics update.
• Heavy infantry to Philippines.
• Regular AT infantry to Japan (turned the current one into AT infantry 43).
• M2 light and Medium tanks to USA.
• War declaration of UK + USSR on Iran on August 25th 1941.
CHANGED
• Improved performances of the remove borders fog of war function. It is now 3 times faster to process.
• AI pathfinding algorithm. I noticed something was wrong with it some time ago, but couldn't pinpoint what it was. After doing some more digging and extensive debugging, I found out what it was. I have re wrote it entirely, and it is now 500% faster than before, while actually doing what it should have been doing. Should be better now! :)
(The performance test was made on a 300x300 test map, going from the 2 most far apart hexagons. Old algorithm speed was 13ms. New algorithm speed is 2.5ms. Bigger maps will even more benefit from this).
• Too expensive units in the store are no longer entirely greyed out, but have a subtle UI change to make sure you know they are too expensive and cannot be bought (but you still can check their stats out).
• Updated game engine from Unity 2021.3.40f1 to 2021.3.42f1.
• Multiplayer compatibility version --> 7.7.1.
• NATO ships, partisans and HQ icons.
• Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia counters color scheme.
• Picking conscription policies will now provide an instant 'refill' of manpower equal to the bonus given by the policy itself. So, if the policy gives +10% manpower, you will get an instant +10% available manpower. Cancelled due to exploit of picking the policy over and over again to have infinite manpower.
• Improved AI deployment of reinforcements to face enemy attack.
• Philippines light inf. graphics.
• Bulgarian infantry graphics.
• Turkish infantry graphics.
• Reworked Iran and Iraq Geography on all Europe scenarios.
• Thai infantry graphics + counters color scheme.
FIXED
• Event processing causing a freeze during AI's turn (introduced with 7.7.1, regression).
• Dreadnoughts had no NATO representations.
• Some early war planes stats.
• Weather prediction UI when no weather was enabled on the map or disabled in the settings.
• AI sometimes not killing enemy units when it could/should have.
• AI sometimes going over the limit/ratio of artillery to infantry it must have.
• AI sometimes leaving its position or moving somewhere it shouldn't have moved to when it should have moved forward and attacked in the next turn.
• Issue with ZoC and moving through enemy's ZoC across your own units.
• Changing the difficulty of the game mid-game would not update the minimum requirements of AI income modifier.
• AI stopping purchasing fighters in some cases.
• Barrage balloons had movement points.
• Prototype units costs were wrong.
• Visual glitch when units were being spawned and fog of war was calculated at the same time.
• Exploit with production policies and disbanding units.
REMOVED
• Afghanistan from list of official base game countries. Not featured in any base game scenarios. Up to modders to add it.
