'Time of Defiance' - Client Update Available Now

by Thomas on April 2, 2003 @ 12:43 a.m. PST

Time of Defiance is a massively multiplayer real time strategy game, with astonishing graphics, based upon many thousands of small floating islands on the remains of the planet of Nespanona. The Cog Tribes are locked into a battle of supremacy with each other. The player takes on the role of one of the Cog tribes and plays against hundreds or thousands of other players to gain control of the Northern Continent. Players expand their empires through exploration, negotiation, war or peace - using the strategies and tactics of their choice. Nicely Crafted Entertainment have now released version 4.427C of Time of Defiance. Read more for download links & detailed fix list ...

New features:

  • Brand new setup window: Setting up e-mails, etc., when things happen is now considerably easier than before - either click on the "Settings" button (top right of the screen, immediately above Home Island button) or type /setup.
  • New battle platform components:
    • Quantum communicator
    • IIBM launcher
    • Quantum hopper (salesman sells this rather splendid item)
    • Medium range targeting unit
    • Maintenance bay (for repairing components)
  • Last known mineral survey: The last known mineral survey is now stored and shown on empire view along with how long ago it was taken. This is an enormous time-saver

Enhancements:

  • Added a second stop-watch to the Score Delta's window.
  • Dramatically reduced the amount of text shown on-screen in detail view. If you would like something closer to the previous release (i.e., ranges to objects shown regardless of the object or whether it's moving) you can type "/showrangesalways on".
  • We now suspend Tip of the Day until you first get to a genuine view in the game; so you don't now get TOTD coming up over the first-session welcome screen when you're joining a game for the first time.
  • Improved the help summaries for moving objects: We now show fuel type, range on full tank of fuel and time to fly that full range.
  • Improved the tool-tips for IIBM launches, etc., so that they are customised rather than just showing "Click to move to this island".
  • Improved the highlighting for major events.
  • Natural phenomena now show on major events according to their actual name, so you get events like "Travelling salesman detected".
  • Salesman now sells Nespan probes and the odd rare Battle Platform component.
  • Added new information return facilities to the 3rd party development interface - reference article on web site will be updated accordingly.
  • Telescopular.exe updated to scroll to show most recent message and show the time and date of each message posted. Also updated the min/max window sizes to be more sensible for the chat spy window.
  • Connect-to and disconnect-from menu options now show a summary panel of what you're connected to and how many connections remain (Battle Platform).

Additional information can be found in the ReleaseNotes file released with this update.
