Hi Marshall
I notice you are continuing to crunch thorugh bugs which is great, but can you give us an update on 1.08?

DB:

Would be happy to!

I am creating another 1.08 build this morning and should be uploading shortly! I have needed to double back a few times on some of my fixes but hopefully what I will be uploading today will be our first BETA! (Fingers crossed)!

[Dancing Bear]

Only because I'm anxious to see 1,08, I'll ask how is it going? I'd like to get working wit the sim phases, and playing with some of the fixes (although I'd be happy to wait for some of those recent fixes to make it into 1.08).

[MarshallEllis]

DB:

No problem! I'm excited as well! I am trying to get the AI to be a little smarter about laspes (Just letting it happen too much) so I doubled back and have been working that as well as adding a few fixes. The testers are HOPEFULLY testing your first BETA. Apologize but this one was a doozy!

Any news on possible release date of 1.08 beta?[:)]

[MarshallEllis]

Well, I'm trying to get this "Battle file not recognized" problem fixed and added to 1.08 so I'm delaying a bit longer...
Will keep you posted...

Its rather important.

Squeezed it in this morning!
Appreciate the save game! That really helped!

How is 1.08 coming along? Are the testers finding much that requires fixing?

[bresh]

When will we get the option of removing quick-singlecorps combats ?
I know some of us requested this for a while to.
Its unbalancing parts of the game.

I'm not working this as a priority issue as of today? I'm not opposed to this but it's just not that high on my list rt now.
I can maybe add in 1.09 BUT 1.08 is just about locked up!

All seems to be quiet on the Western front! I am probably going to give the build to Matrix on Monday for our first BETA! I am working on 1.09 as we speak.

I think its pretty high on the wish list, for game balance, and when making it a option it allows groups to decide themself.
I think the issue with garrisoned-depots stopping movement, actually was creating some sort of balance with this issue, but when this changes, the ballance drops again.
