Hex of Steel News

- Added : U-Boot Type XXI and Type IXD to Germany.
- Added : Jagdpanzer E100 to Germany.
- Added : Skink AA and Grizzly I cruiser to Canada.
- Added : T29, T30 and T34 heavy tanks to USA.

- Change : Graphics for admirals, they’re not round, not square anymore.
- Change : Type 1934A destroyer graphics.
- Change : AI now has TRUE random, so no more 5 arty in a row or stuff like that when buying. Army composition is now gonna be WAY better.
- Change : AIs arty will now move during the second phase of the AIs turn. So that it’s never ahead of all the units. I will attack BEFORE the others, as it already was the case, but will move AFTER all the others moved.

- Fix : Broken reddit link in the main menu.

Sunday update !

- Added : 5 generals to Japan. Isoroku Yamamoto, Masatake Okumiya, Minoru Genda, Tomoyuki Yamashita, Tadamichi Kuribayashi.
- Added : Reddit link in the main menu. https://www.reddit.com/r/hexofsteel/

- Change : Moved Bucharest’s and Belgrade’s airfields and added a factory near Copenhagen on the Europe maps.
- Change : You can now forfeit in solo too. This will let you see the end of scenario stats panel
- Change : When forfeiting in MP, you will not be taken back to the main menu right away, you will be able to see the stats panel.
- Change : Two units indicator. More visible.
- Change : Sd. Kfz. 222 graphics.
- Change : Generals won’t get landing crafts graphics so they’re visible at all time.
- Change : Changes to the Pacific 1942 map.
- Change : Admirals now have only a range of 3, so they need to be WITH the fleet to give its bonuses.

- Fix : All ships could attack submerged subs.
- Fix : Start of the war in the pacific scenario is 7th December not 6th.
- Fix : There was an issue for loading all players in multiplayer leaderboard.
- Fix : German admirals stats (way too OP).

- Change : You are not earning any more experience from killing partisans (Could be used to farm).
- Change : Light infantry and engineers for Germany graphics.
- Change : Added 3 factories on the Europes map.
- Change : V2 movement sound.
- Change : AIs generals and artillery movement behaviour. Too many times it just went straight into combat as any other infantry unit. Now recon units (ground only obviously) will first try to get in range of their visibility, so like they’ll get 2 tiles from the victory point, they’ll do their recon that way, then move and capture if they can / the city is empty. For generals, they’ll stay out of range, at the very limit. Oh well and I did the same for ships ! So they don’t stack in front of the land and let ground troops perform landings :)
- Change : Improved overall performances.
- Change : USA engineers and heavy infantry graphics swap.

- Fix : Partisans surrendered right after they got attacked.
- Fix : Research tree achievements couldn’t be unlocked.
