"Severed Gorge" update now LIVE


Commanders,

We have a new update for you today. In our ongoing efforts to make the game easier to pick up for a wider group of people we have added four new languages to the official translations. But, by far the biggest thing you will find in this update is a new official map perfect for small team games and 1v1s.

You will also find a host of other fixes, improvements and adjustments, some of which specifically target modders as we are improving the tools.

See you on the battlefield commanders!

[h3]Mod Tools[/h3]
  • Fix for skirmish dialog not checking the allow one team mod setting when switching between selected maps.

  • Adding Lua functions to flash the game window.
  • Adding movement classes that can move in the spawn passability.
  • Modified spawn passability type and related logic such that spawn passability can now be painted together with movement passability without overwriting it.
