Good Gravy! 1.02's going to be a whole new game, eh?

[BiffMan]

Keep having to scoop my jaw off of my lap while reading through the bugfix list and picturing the effect of these changes in the game.

Wow.

 

[Erwin Rommel]

Yeah, great work Paradox!
But, seems like personally most anticipated two features are not made in. Partisans and trade agreement.
I hope they include them in 1.03.

The gravy for Germany is over!

I can't wait to play as Germany under 1.02. Making fortresses triple strength, increasing AA cost, reducing tactical bomber effectiveness, and increasing the land unit builds of AI countries should really make things interesting!

Keep up the great work Paradox!

p.s. I was wondering why as the U.S. I kept sinking Italian convoys off the coast of LA! hehe

 

[BiffMan]

Yeah, that's a heck of alot of issues addressed through 2 patches in less than a month. And I'm sure that other play balance issues will continue to be addressed in the future, I'm just astounded at the number of gameplay balance issues that made it into this patch.

Tank- In addition to that, the changes in the garrison AI should make for some much more interesting situations as well!

The mind boggles at how differently this is going to play.

The thing that strucks me most is that there even are some interface tweaks in the patch:new buttons, better sliders... it's awesome guys Thanks

and that's why I'm happy to have bought the game early, every time I'll play with the latter patches I'll think back at how it was when released and I'll enjoy myself even more.

WOOHOO!!

Woohoo! Christmas holiday is upon us and we're gonna enjoy some quality time with our computers! Err... Family.. Of lan connected computers? Hrm...

Anyway, what a bunch of fixes!! It's really impressive! But this means I'll actually have to "think" to be able to do my World Dominations games!?! Egad!

I'm playing multi with my brother in law and this patch spells sleep depravation for us! (I mean we actually played night-long games on work days with the flu and the CTDs, so....)

One question:

This puzzled me too. Could someone in the know elaborate here please?

Yeah, somehow they knew we would riot, if they don't work on the interface issues.
Wait a minute, I saw increased UFO activies recently, then.. it must be Patric!!

Not just "fixes and tweaks", and overhaul.

And the ability to liberate.....

However, I to am quite excited to see the amount of fixes here as well!!

This patch was more a case of getting the features that *are* in working correctly to make the game more solid and playable.
Now they can take their time a little and see to things like that

 

[Crazy_Ivan80]

Lets hope you can now merge and make units of other countries board transports . Cause I want that Canadian support in Europe

 

[unmerged(10167)]

1.02 seems like a new game

wow. Very impressive, very good I must say. Sounds very good. It just kept coming

Will be fun to play.

Merchant fleet = transports in convoy pool. Or nations that historically had large merchant fleets. I'm not sure which but having a historically large merchant fleet is why some nations get lots of extra convoy transports each month.

 

[unmerged(10945)]

Simply stunning. Even if it doesn't fix everything, it reaffirms the unbelieveable commitment that Paradox has to it's products and fans. I'm very excited.

Think?!?

Now as SU the dow on germany 1st of january 1936 is even more a good deal (their trade will die... no oil/rubber)

Oh and the downsizing of the officercorps should also be more natural, as there will likely be a lot of unhappiness as a result of worldconquest

Not to mention how the h*** am I supposed to run Finland's industry if the rubber world market is practically shut out from me?

tank_buster, you can fix that already. Check the Sticky thread "Do it yourself bug fixes" at the top of the page.

Or install the Bolted HoI

Tend those rubbertrees growing in Seinäjoki?

(just a little editing, add 30 rubber?)

The Patch is almost ready - see the new sticky from Patric
