Hi guys!

Brother Against Brother has been updated to version 1.0.5!

This Patch is almost focused on improving significantly the graphic/visual of the game. For instance the appearance of unit text when zooming has been considerably enhanced!

You can download the patch from here

Be sure to check the entire changelog below:

V1.0.5 – May 22, 2015
• GRAPHICS CHANGE: Commander radius shown only on edges. Radius is turned on automatically when a commander's HQ is selected
• GRAPHICS CHANGE: Show strength bars relative to unit start and break strength. (Top of strength bar = full strength; bottom = breaking strength).
• In PBEM, chat messages are now instead shown in a popup box at the start of the recipient's turn.
• Reduced the maximum levels of zoom a little bit.
• Made improvements to the appearance of unit text when zooming.
• CTRL+Left-Click now selects a unit without re-centering the map
• Routed/disordered units are now marked with R or D (respectively) in the OOB list.
• GRAPHICS CHANGE: Increased the opacity of graphical overlays.

• New hotkeys:

1) "N" go to Next unit (functionally equivalent to the Control Box > icon toggle)
2) "P" go to Prev unit (functionally equivalent to the Control Box < icon toggle)
3) "C" toggle on/off the Command Radius for the selected commander
4) "M" toggle on/off the Moved highlight
5) "D" toggle on/off the Disordered highlight
6) "R" toggle on/off the Ready-to-Fight highlight
7) "O" toggle on/off the Out-of-Command highlight
8) "S" toggle on/off the Out-of-Supply highlight

downloaded and installed, ty[&o][&o][&o]

Ok done, I updated right off the start screen "check for update" It worked and when I open game it does show version 1.05.

Just to verify because it did load download and install quickly and I had not first downloaded 1.04 as 1.05 is now out.

Can I assume that 1.05 was a full download including all improvements in 1.04 and there was no need to have downloaded 1.04 first?

a auto updates does the latest version and is all inclusive i think, a manual one should give a error if a wrong pre version is found, so you should be good to go m8, i think,not 100% sure but i'm sure the boss will be along to say either way[:D][;)]

One can skip to 1.05 and miss nothing.

That's what I figured. By the way, when you hit multiplayer it still gives the pop up warning that you are playing version 1.05 and the latest version issued is 1.02. [:)]

Where exactly are the strength bars?

One of the small buttons in that row.

I may be blind and dense. Which row?

Found it. It's in the "Unit Status" button.

Thanks for working on the graphics and hot key stuff. The fact is the game is so good in the really critical wargaming areas - things that usually take year(s) for complex games like this one to sort out.

hey! great job! love the game loading in between round time being decreased and bugs fixed now graphics! Well done devs!

Glad to hear that you like the patches! We're working on new counter art for the next patch.
