Version 0.999 Release Notes

OK, we couldn't help ourselves and decided to make one last mini-update before 1.0 - the stuff was too good to make you guys wait

Amazing new mini-menu for troop movement. Opens instead of the tooltip when you hover on your army, allowing you to easily move individual units or unit groups (all land/air/naval). Just click on the unit in the menu, or drag it from there. To move the whole group, use the bracket above the unit icons (it only shows if there's more than one group and there's more than one unit in it). The old tooltip is still used for opponent armies and for battles - it now also has unit icons in it.

Old colors have been tweaked and new colors have been added, allowing for maximum 20 players in one game! Hopefully it's now also easier to distinguish different colors.

Changed game options are now highlighted when someone proposes changes during the game.

Defence line bug has been fixed (walking through tiny gaps).

Sky Menace Bombers now don't have the +1 bonus to defence. We decided that +2 to attack AND +1 to defence (plus a lot of bonuses for other units) was a bit too much, in comparison to other strategies.

Yaddo Posts: 74	29.03.2011 - 20:36 Yaddo I've noticed Anti-Aircraft units are standard instead of an upgrade, is the sp used to purchase them going to be refunded like it was when the Lucky [Unit] upgrades were removed? Loading... Loading...
Cave Johnson Posts: 1	29.03.2011 - 20:37 Cave Johnson Love the new menu it makes it a lot quicker, i think a great addition would be unique units for each country. that would be awesome, for instance America north east could have cool subs that are pre-say batter at attack but lesser so at defense. i think this would give each country a unique feel and make even the weaker, small countries have an extra kick and make the other players scroll over there to check on it once in a while.

nonames Posts: 1325 From: UK	29.03.2011 - 22:33 nonames New movement thing is good, and good work on the colours. Only problem is have is that before if you hovered over a unit stack you could see it's atk/def, now you can't see it (your own units, you can see other players atk/def), is there any way you can put this back in? nice that you reduced the def of the bombers in sky menace, this will most likely stop 100 bombers stack with 4 infantry in a air transport coming from china strategy, people will build more infantry too Loading...

I noticed that too. You have to click on the tiny "i" (italicized and standing for info I assume). Its not that big of a deal, and I can see how minimalising the tiny hover-menu as much as possible is better in the long run, but tacking on the simple atk. def. numbers to the end of it wouldn't hurt.

House Tleilaxu Posts: 34	30.03.2011 - 04:32 House Tleilaxu I would also like to cast my vote for adding the attack and defense value of a stack when you click on it, in addition to the new functionality. the ~5 seconds it takes to click, hover over the i, and wait can be a long time in a 2 minute game. Otherwise, I love the new and improved movement! Loading... Loading...
