Beta test applications has been closed for the time being as we now have enough testers.

Thanks for you applications and we will add more beta testers that are on our list already as we move further into more advanced test stages.

When you need someone to try weird things no one else in the right mind would think of, just shoot me an email and I'll do my best.

No invite in the first wave.......oh well, I will take my 15+ years of experience beta testing, and go play elsewhere. [;)]

Heh,...hopefully I get in the next wave.

The second stage beta has been uploaded yesterday, so hopefully we'll be able to send out the installer by the end of this week. Another ~20 people will be added (feedback quality and quantity from the first group has been excellent so we're sticking to small numbers for now).

In the meantime a few highlights of things we've added during the first beta stage:

Carriers now display their cargo on-deck & ships no longer display shadows on bottom of the sea (to get rid of the "floating" illusion)



Ranged units now have a range outline when selected, making it much easier to see what can be hit from where.



Enemy aircraft no longer display their fuel levels (Fog of War)



Damage numbers now coloured according to player colour, making it easier to see who takes what damage when air & ground units share the same hex.
