7.7.12

[h3]ADDED[/h3]
  • New setting: No AA support fire during air on air engagements.
  • Auto-saving when playing offline PBEM, whenever the 'next human player playing' menu appears, the game will perform a save with the player's country name + turn count, example: Hungary_5. This will save you to have to do it manually. All you have to do is send the file to your friend(s) now. It will also automatically open the directory for you once the save is ready.


[h3]CHANGED[/h3]
  • Multiplayer compatibility version bumped to match latest game version.
  • Defending (being attacked) on a frozen river now will grant the attacker double damage against the defender.
  • AI will now properly upgrade/downgrade to other units for garrisons if your mod is not in the same time period as the base game.
  • Sped up going back to main menu from game speed a little (about 5% speed increase, haha).
  • Units in the reserve now have to pay 50% of their upkeep instead of 30% (a 20% increase, basically).
  • Increased upkeep for heavy infantry, commandos, panzergrenadiers, shock infantry, paratroopers, marines, NKVD.
  • Autosave naming format (clearer).
  • Some diplomacy shenanigans when let's say Belgium is being declared war on by France which was in the same team, while also at war with Germany, now Belgium will join its own faction instead of joining the Axis.
  • Light infantry manpower cost is a bit cheaper now (13,000 vs 15,000).
  • Garrison manpower cost a tad more expensive now (2,500 vs 2,000).
  • Rebalanced USSR comeback in Europe scenarios.


[h3]FIXED[/h3]
  • You had to pay to join a faction when being Neutral.
  • Turn production value on the UI for upgrading/downgrading a unit was wrong.
  • AI manpower hole when disbanding unused units (losing manpower, never getting it back for disbanding units in its reserve).
  • Hungary 1944 standalone scenario was not marked as 'official scenario', therefore you could not unlock any achievement or leaderboard there.
  • Allies were at war with the USSR in Europe '41 and above.
  • USA giving back land to france in africa after performing Op. Torch in 1942 on Europe '39.
  • Partisans spawning directly on victory points which just got captured. I have introduced a minimum countdown of 5 turns before partisans start spawning at a newly captured victory point.
