Bah no content, no new features only bugfixes. Whole FTM is patch.

















That's what patches are for? But shift-select is new nonetheless. You're welcome though.
Relentless madman.
has top speed got even faster?!
Black I.C.E. - How the legacy began.
Dr. Johnson's "The World at War"...so good, i put my name on it...

















Top speed = as fast as your PC can run it. Podcat might have optimised stuff further though, that's the kinda thing he does.
Relentless madman.
This is absolutely totally freakin awesome. I love it... thank you.

yeah there was an optimization graphics wise (but that uses cpu also) in mapmodes without trees, also convoy raiding code was pretty slow if there were many convoys and is faster now. probably other things as well
you realize you posted this in a patch thread right? this patch doesnt have many features like the last one but focuses more on balance and fixing annoying problems, but imo highlighting selected air units/base range in air mapmode is pretty neat and the selection improvement. there are also a couple of new decisions and events which imo are at least small features in my book..
no, but someone mentioned on page one (I think) that there was some temporary solution zip file on the steam forums. I havent had a look so I cant confirm.

Reject reason to make the impossible possible!
If you build a fire for a man, you can keep him warm for a day.
If you set the man on fire, you can keep him warm for the rest of his life.
Any thought on 3.04 savegames running in 3.05? Restart or keep going?

I am glad to receive that which I paid $20 for at day 1. I won't thank you in any special way, because you don't deserve it.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-white.
Couldn't agree more - micro-managers rejoice!
And, if you don't mind me asking, what's next Paradox? The patches have come with far greater regularity than I can remember in other games. Are you still working with the community (ie. maps) and with Lothos on the Lua for future patches or is the core game about where you imagined it? Just curious, always like having something to look forward to. Anticipation if half the pleasure imo.

Not wanting to be a party pooper but I don't know whether to be ecstatic at such a long list of bug fixes, or disappointed that there were (still) so many problems with the game...
Still, thanks for putting in some effort - even at this late stage. While no program is ever perfect and finally we have a reasonable platform for playing WW2 grand strategy, you have to admit that you might have fumbled a little bit with the HOI franchise this time around. Next time take smaller bites and chew your food properly before trying to swallow...
Does this include damage from CAGs etc, or just ship-to-ship damage?
Edit: rather than wait for a reply, I went ahead and loaded the "Day of Infamy" starting point and tried carrier combat out myself. And the verdict is... damage to ships from CAGs is way up, carriers are extremely dangerous even to battleships, and port strikes are actually somewhat effective. That's with 1941 tech, of course.

Montgomery to Colonial secretary Oliver Lyttelton 23 December 1951:
“Dear Lyttelton, Malaya
We must have a plan. Secondly we must have a man.
When we have a plan and a man, we shall succeed: otherwise not.
Yours sincerely , Montgomery (F.M.)”
Lyttelton in his memoirs: “I may, perhaps without undue conceit, say that this had occurred to me”.
