UPDATE 4 CHANGES - Version 4.4.2

1. Training now works again.

UPDATE 4 CHANGES - Version 4.4.1

New Mission(s) Included with Updates
“East to DC” – Get your Command Vehicle (currently located in Sacramento) to Washington DC before May 1st, 2011 (one year). Recommendation: Use Naval Transport and take a task force through the Panama Canal. Designed by Lead Game Designer David Thompson.
“Bridge to Romania” – Protect Romania from an invasion by the forces of Ukraine and Bulgaria using the German military. – Designed and Submitted by forum user Red. Check out the designer notes for details. Chat with Red on www.bgforums.com.

New Scenario Included with Updates
“United States” - A reunification vote is scheduled for four years from the start of the scenario, but before that happens you'll have to survive Regional Elections; this makes your Domestic Approval Rating quite important. California, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado and Texas seem to be controlled by aggressive leaders - so war may be inevitable… By default this map is playable as a 26 region scenario. Custom groupings allow players to play with the extra regions of Canada, Mexico, The Caribbean and Central America in a 30 region scenario. The “East to DC” mission was created using this scenario.

New Unit Additions
45 New units including new battleships, cargo ships and even a far future bipedal military vehicle. 2 new submarine unit graphics are also included.

New Features
Start from any region. There is now then new ability to play from any region in a map that contains more than 16 players. Using a little “page down” icon you can view and start from regions 17 and on. This feature applies to the new United States scenario and to the existing Europe map. This feature also applies to multiplayer games allowing the host to assign players to any region in a game.

UPDATE 3CHANGES - Version 4.3.1

New Mission(s) Included with Updates

“Russian Bear” – Defend Moscow and then kill the command unit in St. Petersburg.

New Features

• Missile storage limit now a startup lobby option
• Unit Roles as subset of ROE (Rules of Engagement) implemented: --- Unit "Target Priority" options based on selected unit roles will allow units to only target certain types of targets.
  • Land, Air, Sea, Sub, Fortifaction attacks, and allow use of WMD are the 6 options. Selections are what the unit can attack by default. Fortification attack must be selected by the player or specifically orderd by the player and does not come default selected. The WMD option works when "autoloading missiles" is selected. This allows a unit to get its own missiles and even select WMD missiles.Unit roles will allow an air unit with ground and air attack values to ignore ground targets and remain at mid air to engage targets. Unit roles will allow a land unit to ignore firing on enemy naval units (useful when you are about to take over a region and you are hoping to get their navy).
• Fixed Missile Loading/Autoloading issues related to new unit roles. Units can now be ordered to "autoload" their own missles when unit is not at full missile capacity AND based on the selected unit roles as chosen in the units ROE. When autoload is selected and there are available missiles the unit can be ordered to fire missiles and will continue to autoload its own missiles. Autoloading of missiles will start with autodeployed missiles first, then non autodeployed missiles. It will also select missiles with launch authority above missiles without launch authority.
• Unit roles can also be adjusted in advanced orders for multiple units at once. To reset unit roles to default chose all land, air, sea, sub types.

UPDATE 2 CHANGES - Version # 4.00.12

New Mission Included with Retail and Demo

• “White Sands Project” – Stop the nuclear test planned by New Mexico.

Map Updates for Retail Version

Unit Additions/Changes

Feature Improvements

• New GUI Element - State Department - Pick a region - In Panel 2, choose button named "Current Relations".

In this new third panel you will see the following:

• Diplomatic Rating,
• Civilian Rating,
• Causus Belli,
• Treaty Integrity Ratings and
• World Market Ratings

There are two columns each under a region's flag. The first flag is your region, the second is the region you are viewing. The first three ratings are views directed towards the other region. Read the tool tip to see exactly what each bar represents. (For example, under your flag you will see how your people feel about the other region AND under the other flag you will see how their people view your region.)

The last three bars are regional ratings and are not views of the "other" region but are indicators about the region. (For example, under your flag you will see the Treaty Integrity Rating for your reigon and under the other flag you will see the same rating for that region.)
