I love traveling to Europe. I want to go to Poland and Russia next. You get a real feel for history there everything here in the USA is so new.



Michael T -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/7/2014 10:25:31 PM)

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.



gradenko2k -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/8/2014 12:18:27 AM)

Alt CV is a scenario edit

Fort Modifier is a game option



Michael T -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/8/2014 1:31:32 AM)

I only play server games so Alt CV goes off the list for me then. Fort Mod Option is nice.



beekeeper -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/15/2014 3:03:56 PM)

we wait.... [&o]



Denniss -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/15/2014 3:31:34 PM)

And we are working on it as time permits



cato12 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/15/2014 5:41:05 PM)

wasn't the update meant to have been passed to the devs around the 10th?



Denniss -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/15/2014 6:17:43 PM)

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.



charlie0311 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/15/2014 11:26:33 PM)

welcome back to m



Lictuel -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/16/2014 2:57:02 AM)

Denniss, do you just need the German .exe or something more?



Denniss -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/16/2014 10:16:59 AM)

Just the .exe for the current work.
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.



Lictuel -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/17/2014 5:53:55 AM)

Seeing how I have the German version here I could send you the .exe . Just pm me a mail address and I will send it to you.
I can't help with the 2nd point though since I nearly never use the German version of the game.



tiger111 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/17/2014 4:36:10 PM)

When might see an AAR for WITW. Are we on track for a 2014 release?
Thankyou



Callistrid -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/22/2014 11:18:53 AM)

Hi guys... What's up?
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?




morvael -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/22/2014 11:24:36 AM)

I hope soon. I have just assembled the full changelog.

WitE Changelog in numbers:
- 99 new features
- 43 bug fixes
- 24 scenario changes
- 5 general device changes
- 48 specific device changes
- 10 general ground element changes
- 263 specific ground element changes
- 10 general aircraft changes
- 158 specific aircraft changes
- 2 general TOE changes
- 31 specific TOE changes
- 2 general leader changes
- 2 specific leader changes
- 29 pages

We just have to agree on some minor changes that have major impact on balance and polish everything a bit :)



Denniss -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/22/2014 11:28:11 AM)

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).



swkuh -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/22/2014 2:23:41 PM)

Appreciate the extensive changes; '08 seems more extensive than many previous. Worth time to do it right.



charlie0311 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/22/2014 7:25:16 PM)

++, no rush

Peltonx -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/23/2014 10:28:11 PM)

Yes one of the 3 Amigoes.

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.



gamer78 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/24/2014 1:14:15 AM)

Morvael and Denniss thanks for your efforts.
Hope to play Poland in this game or another. [:)]

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)...



HermanGraf -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/25/2014 10:13:34 PM)

I was wondering if the patch addressed the importance of cities like Odessa and Svestapool. Before it didn't seem like it was important to take them and i felt like I was missing out on a important part of the war.



sven6345789 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/26/2014 10:34:56 PM)

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

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.



charlie0311 -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/27/2014 5:03:21 AM)

Very well stated GR, you should be writing the manual.



swkuh -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (8/27/2014 2:15:53 PM)

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.



Commanderski -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (9/3/2014 2:36:46 PM)

While we don't want to rush you and prefer to wait until it's ready...how close is it to the release?

Thank you and all the testers and coders for the hard dedicated effort you put in to the updates... [&o][&o][&o]



morvael -> RE: Any news on the 1.08 patch? (9/3/2014 2:49:16 PM)

WitE Changelog in numbers:
- 121 new features (+22)
- 47 bug fixes (+4)
- 25 scenario changes (+1)
- 5 general device changes
- 48 specific device changes
- 12 general ground element changes (+2)
- 265 specific ground element changes (+2)
- 10 general aircraft changes
- 159 specific aircraft changes (+1)
- 2 general TOE changes
- 34 specific TOE changes (+3)
- 2 general leader changes
- 2 specific leader changes
- 32 pages (+3)

..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).
