At the beginning a screenie

I've compared to a 1.1 report, and can't figure out what the difference is.

[doomtrader]

Who can find two differences on the image above?

[Hairog]

New symbol/button under the flag.

New button under the watch.

[JLPOWELL]

Grats! There is Waldo and Waldodernate [:D]

Apologies to Fringe...[;)]

What do they do?[&:]

[Hairog]

I have no idea.

[Zovs]

I thought that the patch was going to be ready in Jan. its almost March, and now were talking about 1.02?

So is 1.01 out yet?

I tried the ingame check and no go.

[doomtrader]

The patch is ready for a quite long time, but it's waiting in the queue to be released.
But indeed we are working for the next patch.

[doomtrader]

Things are a little bit slower at the moment, as we are already prepared patch for Time of Wrath, and currently working for Storm over the Pacific patch which will fix some issues, and introduce few crucial functionalities, which we have found a must be at the current stage of the game.

For Time of Fury, at the moment we are working on a very huge task. The supply system is going to be changed. Now, with the 1.02 patch units will be supplied by the cities which will provide higher level of supply, not the closest one. This will make the war in North Africa even more enjoyable.

[Bulldog61]

Does the final patch still have the increased upkeep costs?

[Hairog]

Interdiction by tac bombers would be real cool. I know it's hard to figure out the AI but how about doing it for head to head games?

[Hairog]

Great to hear about Storm over the Pacific patch as well by the way. I want to get back into that one as well.

Does the final patch still have the increased upkeep costs?

Yes,
nothing has changed since we have sent it to release

I just checked back with the game after a month or two of not playing. Your change list for 1.01 looks very promising and the change to armor vs cities in this patch looks great as well. Congrats on the patch and the changes you plan so far for the next patch. Thanks for sticking with the game. Good support.

I'm eager to see a v1.01 AAR of Fall Gelb or Barbarossa scenarios to see how the changes impact the game.

[doomtrader]

We are implementing another cool feature that you have asked for.

Here are the images

[doomtrader]

and second one

[doomtrader]

No, not yet.
