Excellent news!

Would appreciate more detail on this one.

- (Map) Desert Terrain is no longer passable (AI Reasons), adjusted map

Would appreciate more detail on this one.

Made it impassabale. Using Desert Terrain as an AI stop now so it wont send troops deep into the North African desert.

The terrain really has no effect in the game as very few places that see war action ever actually deal with it.

[Pocus]

Please remind me, the Allied AI is mostly done and can be played against, but the Axis AI is still WIP?

[Lothos]

Please remind me, the Allied AI is mostly done and can be played against, but the Axis AI is still WIP?

It is the other way around.

[SittingDuck]

Is this version different than what you have in the Discord channel? Is that one for WiE instead (because I see it is beta 1.4)

[Lothos]

Discord is the Europe version with all the update notes above that apply to Europe.

[SittingDuck]

Thank you, sir.

I understand the AI in the WaW for the Allies is default (not up to par). Is the Allied AI in the WiE version any better?

[Lothos]

Thank you, sir.

yes WiE version is very playable. It will never be as good as a human but it will provide entertainment.

[SittingDuck]

Are you concentrating on WiE at this time to get things nailed down, then will do an upgrade to SC:WaW?

[Lothos]

Are you concentrating on WiE at this time to get things nailed down, then will do an upgrade to SC:WaW?

I update both simultaneously. The coming release is more about world than Europe.

A new release candidate for 0.8.2 was put out on Discord. Has some major changes to Artillery. Some people will complain about de-entrench but in all honesty Artillery cannot do that! I was in the Army and I specifically did Artillery which works best when the enemy is out in the open. It does not destroy massive fortifications or entrenchments.

This solves some of the major exploits where people would just mass their Artillery on the Maginot line to blow a hole in it withought having to loose anything for it.

Hi, Lothos. Since you are using the three default cavalry slots (brigade, division, corps) to introduce two new non-cavalry units, I notice that you changed the default two cavalry_movement sounds to regular infantry movement.

Makes sense, though for the remaining cavalry corps in-game, its movement will sound like regular infantry. I don’t suppose there is any way to mod which sound a specific unit should use…

But here’s my question: I also noticed you introduced an entirely new troops2 sound in your mod. It likewise sounds like regular infantry movement but since no such sound appears in game default, I was wondering what purpose it serves? Does the game engine recognise a troops2 sound? Thanks!
