[h3]Cepheus Protocol Dev Update 14[/h3]
https://youtu.be/LOdVk1yiuak
To opt into experimental install "Cepheus Protocol Experimental" in your steam library.
It is no longer a beta opt in but an entirely new game granted when you purchase the base game.
As we work to wrap up 1.2 in the coming weeks our goals will be working out bug and balance issues introduced with this patch. The next goal for 1.2 will be to add more "Ambient" civilians in the form of cars/people that litter/populate the cities regardless of their faction and then we will conclude with modernizing the "look" of the ROE tab. Then its the Police Faction and Anarchist time in 1.3 We we will spend 1-2 months (developing 1.3 on experimental) on completely redoing the Factions and deprecating the "Zone" capture circles they use in the experimental "Factions" opt in. The current capture truck method wil be standardized and their AI will know how to properly interact and seek them out

1.2.1
1 = Release version
2 = Title Update (Major Update)
1 = Minior Fix/bug fixes etc

[h3]New Roadmap system [/h3]
We now have a new system for our community to follow along on development. This website will break down all the major systems that are coming each patch. It will not include hotfixes/bug fixes. Sections inside TBD can be included randomly if we are ahead of schedule
Trello and the old picture Roadmap system will be removed going into the future.

Patch Notes
(Click Show details for a full breakdown of the changes)[expand]
- Dynamic Civilian groups added so they will help populate the world. These dynamic groups will roll one of 3 personalities and live daily lives in the world. (Basic, Raider, Militant)
- Dynamic Civilian groups will start appearing randomly midway through the first day. (They will not affect zone income)
- Basic groups will stay more neutral and just attempt to "survive", Raider groups will attack all groups openly and have the lowest chance to appear. They will eat people as well and last but not least Militant groups will have the best gear and be quicker to attack you if your becoming a problem to them.
- They will share information about your deeds and you can gain reputation with them by evacuating them or sheltering them inside your camps.
- If you are in positive Rep with a group you can recruit civilians to help foster your army early game or in emergency situations from their "Central tent".
- Killing civilians will slowly turn them against you in greater volumes depending on how far away the incident was that occurred from a civilian group.
- Dynamic Civilian groups that begin to hate CERC on their reptation(Can be viewed in the ROE tab) will start gathering outside CERC buildings and riot. If relations continue to degrade they will start to firebomb CERC buildings and openly declare war on CERC. They will form alliances to kill you
- ROE tab revamped to allow you to maintain your diplomacy with groups that you meet dynamically.
