1st patch...

Post by AlvaroSousa »

I have about 50 fixes in the first. I am focusing on bugs more than requested features.

If your feature request doesn't make it in patches there are several reasons.
#1 Just didn't make it in this time
#2 From a UI perspective it doesn't work well after testing it
#3 From a game mechanic perspective it doesn't work well after testing
#4 From a complexity it goes against the simplicity of WarPlan
#5 There was a gamey flaw I discovered
#6 It isn't feasible for the code but is on my idea list for the next game model

Just remember not everyone will be pleased with everything. It is impossible to please everyone all the time. I can only get as close as I can to making the most players happy. We even disagree on what pizza we like and everyone loves pizza. Thank the beta testers for really improving everything in the game and fighting for features that I missed. They contributed a lot to WarPlan's success.

I will try to get the patch out as soon as I can.

It's still early days for me in understanding the game system, but could ZOCs be attached to the size of the unit, rather than just the type (division, or corps).

Once a corps falls below a certain strength, should it still be able to generate ZOCs ?

A corps is still a corps in the organization. It would just mean it's spread out quite thin.

And no you are not driving me nuts. All this is good. I can't stand when things aren't working.

You are doing great. We understand you cant make us all happy [:)]
I like your commitment however and I have already made this game my favorite so I am hoping it will get even better with the coming small bug fixes, improved AI and maybe some good suggestion along the way.
