next public beta
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2022 4:01 pm
Matrix should be releasing a new public beta within the next day or two. It has some major adjustments in combat prep, along with changes in APs and AP costs, ground combat, and many other items. There are also some significant changes in the C41 scenario. In our tests, it adjusted balance in favor of the Germans in 1941. Harder to say how it impacted balance later on. It should make H2H games more balanced in 1941, while it will likely make AI games easier for the German player (so time to increase your AI help level if playing the Germans). Just wanted to give you a heads up that this update should be arriving soon. We have been following the discussions and are trying to account for player feedback, while continuing to fix bugs and improve systems. The new editor has been incorporated into this update, although it is not fully functional. Players can go back and forth between the old and new editor. This has allowed us to get the work into the beta stream so Pavel can continue to work on completing the new editor features, while making it easier for him to look at other game issues. That means we can fix a few more bugs or add a few new features while continuing to work on the editor. It also allowed us to provide info on upcoming unit renames in the reinforcement screen. Bottom line is there will be a lot to look at and check out in the new public beta.
