Status: offline 		Just to clarify:

1:1 to 2:1 rule will be a game option rather than an scenario edit. Nice

Alt CV, Game option or scenario edit?

Fort modifier, Game option or scenario edit?

FWIW I like the idea of 50% Fort Mod (I prefer mobile war to trench stuff). 1:1 rule definitely gone from any game I will be playing. Alt CV with lower Soviet Morale sounds good on the face of it.

When this patch comes out it would be nice if someone close to the coal face could recommend some settings and the reasons behind them.

Status: offline 		Morvael just came back from holidays at the weekend and has not much time this week.
As said earlier we hope for an early Beta at the end of the month but that's only possible if nothing major pops up.
Plus I have to start working on the german translation as lots of text had been added or changed but I don't have a german .exe version on hand. This work should be at least partially done for a Beta release.

Plus information what was wrong with the translation in 1.07 (and not covered by my improved german translation mod).
Plus lots of playtesting of german 1.08 once ready, there were so many changes and I may not find them all.

I can't help with the 2nd point though since I nearly never use the German version of the game.

It was long time ago, when I ordered my troops to smash the enemies face, punch the germans out from the holy motherland, or beat the ruski horde.

So, I want to play this game again, without the 1=2 rule! :)

Where will be ready the 1.8?

Status: offline 		Patience.

Data and scenario changes should be finished for now, morvael is wrapping up the documentation so the WitE manual updates could be started.
We're running AI vd AI test to ensure the production and upgrade/swap functions are working properly (within the engine limitations).
I'm waiting for a german version of the 1.08 executable to complete the german translation so german customers are not presented a wild mix of german and english strings in the first Beta.
As said in multiple earlier post we still hope to get it ready at the end of the month (if no gamebraker appears out of nowhere).

1.08 is going to need some love aka public beta testing.

We all want balanced games ( all things being equal) where MT (GHC) vs Bomazz (SHC) can be close to a draw.

Tweaks will be needed to get the balance we have ALL been waiting for.

Never forget Denniss. His contribution to the patch is as large as mine. I think half of the .exe changes were done by me only because of his reports and ideas. Plus his are almost all of the data and scenario changes (as Red Lancer did some updates to his own scenarios)...

I'm pretty certain it doesn't. By the way you can add Tallinn to that list as well.

What exactly is the 1:1 2:1 rule ( hope you know what I mean)

In the Campaign Game during 1941 through Feb. 1942, the Russian combat results table treats 1:1 odds in battles as if they are 2:1. This generates "retreat" results from Russian 1:1 attacks against the Germans during that time.

Some players think this rule favors the Russians too much and as a result it has been made a selectable "option" in the 1.08 patch so it can be used or not based on preferences.

Status: offline 		About 1:1::2:1

Agree GR's explanation; should say it begins some time after T10. Wonder how many more such rules are coded. Disappointing that any such rules are needed, given the detail of the game. On the other hand, the scope of '41 campaign is so great its very difficult to not resort to such rules to assure some historical outcomes.

About the value of different cities and certain hexes

Many factors must affect cities' values; the developer gods had their ideas, so there it is. One can disagree and could develop a custom set-up. Interesting discussions might abound!

And don't forget the industrial, manpower, and supplies (foods!) sources that may not be in cities.

..and couple more new features in the works.

We're really near. We're mainly doing balance changes and clearing some minor problems. Some PvP tests should be performed soon, to give us better understanding of how it plays (but it will still be up to the players to discover new balance).
