Making History: The First World War - Early Access Update #5
This release does not have many new changes since we are mainly spending our time working on the new scenario The Russian Revolution. There is a new Armored Train unit and this will receive better combat balancing by the next update. Besides fixing small content bugs, feedback on The Balkan Wars has led us to make some modifications to the nation AI to increase adherence to a more historical flow. Changes to the AI scripts are highly sensitive and can lead to unintended consequences. For that reason we try not to make drastic alterations. Oftentimes, odd AI behavior is caused by seemingly unrelated events. These are increasingly harder to track down as the game gets more content heavy and the deeper they occur in a playthrough. The Early Access community has been very helpful by providing both bug reports and actually saved games that we can investigate.
We’ll continue to release an update every 2-3 weeks or sooner when possible. A list of all the significant changes in the latest version of Making History: The First World War Early are listed below.
