7.4.1

[h3]ADDED[/h3]
  • New policy: Mutual Support Pact - Deployment of units in allied territory is possible.
  • New policy: Strategic Flexibility - Get back 30% of spent HQ points after unselecting a policy.
  • New optional setting: Damage reduction over attack frequency. Since the poll for that new combat change was not unanimous AT ALL (50/50), I have no choice but to add this as an optional setting. It applies to both artillery, and planes. The damage penalty is 15% per unit attack on a same target.


[h3]CHANGED[/h3]
  • Multiplayer compatibility --> 7.4.1.
  • Policies effects changes: Superior Bombing Protection (upkeep for AA units doubled). Winter Equipment (+5% unit purchase costs).
  • Artillery cost a little, more expensive.
  • Bunker unit graphics.
  • Changed french 75mm short barrel arty to be 1 range instead of 3.
  • On paratrooper drop, instead of checking for direct adjacent neighbours, the game will now check a 10 tiles radius around the paratrooper drop (this won't affect the base game, the change was made for mods which uses rocket AA for modern conflicts which have a range > 1).


[h3]FIXED[/h3]
  • Entrenchment now being added every turn for all land units.
  • Wrong notification text generated when a city VP was captured but the city tile had no name assigned.
  • Drawings would not be displayed in multiplayer for your allies (Keep in mind they can only be erased by the player who drew them).
  • Camera would no longer follow the moves of units in real time multiplayer.
  • Early winter war initiated by USSR would still have Finland being thrown in its own faction and would result in forced redeployment of troops that were in enemy territory. Same thing about the Baltic States.
  • Some soviet light bombers had the wrong max ammo count.
  • When units (human controlled) were out of supplies (red/yellow icons) and auto supplies was ON, on the next turn the icons would still remain until the player selected the unit which forced a refresh of the counter.
  • 20 extra HP gain when veteran unit is deployed and attacking for the first time.
