Hex of Steel News

- Added : Invite to alliance possibility in diplomacy panel. To invite a country to your faction, you have to send them 3 times your production in money + 3 times theirs. Example, you have an income of 1500, and you want to invite lets say Slovakia that has like 150 prod. You will need to make a 1 time payment of 3 * 1500 + 3 * 150.

- Change : When under water, submarines won’t see any tile around them / be blind.

- Fix : Winter harbour and destroyed winter harbour tile didn’t have the same orientation.
- Fix : Paratroopers could still walk after being dropped even though they shouldn’t.
- Fix : Engineers could walk on river tiles if they had 0 MP.
- Fix : It happens that any campaign file that had the same name as another one would be the one being loaded. This caused issues with the soviet / German campaign, since some scenarios (Ex: Smolensk43) had the same name. This resulted in the game picking the first one it found, sometimes not the one from the good campaign.
- Fix : Loading a game and some units would be in a ship but in a harbour. They would be kind of broken.

- Fix : Engineers blowing up everything they touch, same for paratroopers (creating black tiles).
- Fix : Map causing crash in multiplayers on windows.
- Fix : Upgrading an infantry unit to an engineer or to a paratrooper wouldn’t allow you to use their abilities. Now this is fixed, but please do upgrade them again for the fix to apply.
- Fix : Hosting possibility issue with the end turn panel with the host button not showing when an AI player having the same faction as the human player was playing just before him.
