Great update. The UI changes around events and auto-pauses helps manage the game so much better. Its almost a different game to me.

End of the scenario.

For the players side, green is now showing.

Also no option to carry the battle on, if it is supposed to be displayed at this stage.

That's "Cancel" XD .

How does the AI determine which path type its choppers will use?

Only issue I saw was "Allow the battle go on without a limit after the end conditions have been reached." it never happened. The battle ended as usual with no option to continue unless I missed it. This was with one of the ready made scenario. When I find time, I will recheck.

Has there been any change to the victory level assessment? The battle I played was called as a draw though I still had most of my tanks, I had destroyed all enemy tanks and had way more firepower. Another few minutes, he would have been wiped out. My losses were moderate, I was in command of the field, at worst I would call it Tactical Victory.

Another oddity I noticed. When I played the scenario the first time, the victory level for the players side had all gone, no green showing for a long time and I expected a defeat but the game kept playing, and instead it was a victory for the player.

But when I replay the last minute or two of the autosave, I still have a good bit of green showing still but it only appears after the scenario finishes.

Tried adding the autosave file but the forum will not allow it as it is not supported.

Note in the picture, no green showing for the players side at the top

I only ever see a bright green bar or red bar. I have never seen a dark green bar.

I had a rethink last night, if I cannot see the Dark Green bar on my computer whilst playing the game due to glare etc, it should show up at least on my 1st screenshot that I posted. On close examination, I can just discern a bar, just a bit lighter than the background. Is that supposed to be the dark green bar?

If this is the case and same with other players who also cannot see it then, maybe it needs changing to a lighter green?

1: The dark green bar. The current victory level is hidden under it.

2: The gray bar shows the maximum victory point level (the defending side starts with reduced victory points).
