PATCH NOTES

Your Most Obedient Servants,

The Grand Engineer Corps

Gen’l,

Patch 1.13 is a major update to Grand Tactician (base game) and Whiskey & Lemons DLC. It contains many fixes and rebalancing to the game, and a new Camp-feature for the career mode.

Main changes in the main game include changes in campaign AI, rebalanced construction costs (forts, depots), updates to supply calculations during battles (end of day), along with fixes to bugs reported by the community. The patch was released in beta some time ago and with the help of the community we have improved it further - Thank You for Your help!

The two main updates in Whiskey & Lemons career mode are:

1. Camp: as the commander you can choose how to spend your time when encamped. You can focus on a number of activities, from supervising and taking part in drilling your troops to advancing your own personal agenda. Your companions will provide a helping hand as well. This feature is described in more detail in the updated W&L Manual.
   
2. Offer of Command: Earlier you could advance to higher command positions only by using your perstige. Now, if you are eligible and a position where your skills could be used becomes available, you are sometimes offered the new command free of prestige cost. You may then accept or decline the position.
   

Cheers, and Happy Holidays!

Gen’l,

Unfortunately the AI had a bit too much Whiskey on release and fell from the saddle, giving players undeserved lemons. With the first hotfix, the AI gets a slap in the face.

Work on further fixes, balancing and patches is ongoing. All bug/other issue reports on the forums are read by the Engineers, so keep them coming. Cheers!

[h2]Whiskey & Lemons.[/h2]

Whiskey & Lemons DLC introduces a new career mode, where you can play any campaign in the game starting from a low position, caring only about your unit and your career, with the AI taking care of the rest. With prestige and promotions you may rise all the way to the top of your nation's military leadership, which will open up more options to influence the war effort. Career mode includes role playing elements for character development. The possibility to take only a smaller role in the campaign may also suit players that feel the main campaign is too overwhelming. In addition to the career mode, W&L DLC introduces a new regiment scale Eastern Theater focus campaign.

Whiskey & Lemons will sell for USD 24,99. On release, the DLC will have a 10% discount.

Like with Soundtrack Vol.1, the music will be included in the game, even if you don't own the Soundtrack or any other DLC. Buying the Soundtrack will allow you to enjoy the music also outside of the game - it's also a good way to support Grand Tactician -project, and especially the talented musicians!
