Core 0.70

Hi,

I've sent my file set of to Tegethoff for developing the installer. So we should have the Beta available relatively soon. This file set includes a lot of upgrades to some basic file sets such as the Provinces and the Areas. I spent a extremely long time revising the Province file from basic research. Every province was reviewed for geography and climate and all new Infrastructure model was added. Also a lot of AI optimization was done to try and get better performance. There is also some completely new material and changed mechanics in some areas. For example, I've added some new Synthetic Material techs and have changed the way nations are able to research Armour using the Production Rights path. Plus a lot more minor changes lurking in the code! Hope you enjoy the new version!!

Received and working on it.

Edit: went pretty smoothly...
I´ll now run some hands-off testing

dec, you should probably be thinking about what you want for a smaller Reims, Sedan, Verdun and Dungunab (the eastern half of the former Wadi Halfa) as far as any province stats go, for when I integrate the Map in later.

 

[Hagar]

Please keep me posted on which provinces received a make-over, as I have to revisit the province imagery.

Armd,

Can you post that image of Sedan to this topic please?

Hagar,

I've made a lot of changes to the terrain selections. Unfortunately I didn't keep a direct record. So I'm manually comparing some files. Should have a full list of the changes later today. Will be in a format that shows both the Climate and the Terrain.

Teg,

I've already got a couple fixes needed. The big one is with CHI. I coded CHC to siphon off some of the provincial bonus when JAP captures one of those provinces. But I didn't take the back and forth shift possibility into account. So if that happens CHI loses even more every shift, which is not WAD. I have a plan to fix it with another group of events. Will have it over the weekend.

Forgot. The province of Laon too.

Also, if this is regarding the Map changes to come, I have split Yucheng (the coastal portion to be called Wuting) and am currently splitting Wadi Halfa (the coastal portion to be called Dungunab).

Does it make any difference if the 1.09 beta is installed or not, for the next version?

Hi,

I'm working of of 1.08 for all my stuff. There really aren't any "soft" files that CORE doesn't overwrite. So it should not matter AFAIK.
