ADDED
• Possibility to playtest a scenario directly from the map editor, and go back to the editor after playtesting it. 2 new buttons have been added to go back and forth.
• Brazilian localization.


CHANGED
• AI units in landing crafts with less than 60% HP will now go back to heal instead of try harder to land and get destroyed or simply not do anything due to too low damage.
• Updated Karelia geography on all Europe standalone scenarios.
• Removed all major VPs in Norway for German occupier on all Europe standalone scenarios.


FIXED
• AI planes purchase rate. Not buying enough.
• Sometimes during ambushes a unit could not deal any damage to the other because it had 0 action points.
• Plenty of units first introduction dates were wrong.
• Upgrading a unit into paratroopers would not properly set the movement points and autonomy.

CHANGED

• Updated the game engine.
• Updated list of banned players from the online chat.
• V-Sync setting has been moved to the Graphics tab in the settings.
• Units in transport trains are no longer allowed to move across enemy territory.

• Sometimes unit not retreating towards better tile.
• Volkssturm availability date was wrong (october instead of january '44).
• AI would/could upgrade/downgrade its units in VPs as part of the Garrison change into or from paratroopers which would lead to issues (from mods, not an issue with base game).

CHANGED

• Max zoom sensitivity has been changed from 5 to 10.
• When being neutral and declaring war on someone else, you will automatically be into your own faction (instead of joining the one that would be closer to your ideology). This change was made because when playing for example Sweden, you declare war on Norway, as Sweden you would be placed in the Allies and Norway would be alone. What should have happened is the other way around, you are on your own and Norway is in the Allies.

• Sea Lion North/South had not enough income/manpower to be played with upkeep/manpower optional settings.
• Some buildings had no graphics shown in the store when NATO graphics were turned ON.
• Offensive symbols censorship setting not properly working.
• Missing entry in the french localization file (shore bombardment).
• Issue in the map editor when generating a new map and only filling some of the players' info (Faction/Ideology), if you did not set a country, it would break everything.
• Sometimes morale did not refresh on units until you came close to them.

CHANGED

• Annexing tiles which have no production value is now 50% more expensive.
• Annexing tiles which have a production value will now also be more expensive.

• Whole bunch of units turned into prototypes (SU-26, AT-1, T-44, Neubaufahrzeug...).
• Added extra categories for prototypes so they don't count as regular units (for units indices).
• Unit cost rounding from 10 to 5.

• AI AA units moving without attacking first.
• AI will now better remember where enemy units providing supportive fire are.
• Upgrading/Downgrading a unit would not update its name.
• Not possible to assign custom faction in map editor after adding a new player, you would need to close and re open the settings to be able to do it.
• If you changed the max HP of some units, the game would not properly apply the change(s) when opening a save file.
• Gunboats could not move across anti tank obstacles on bridges.
• Downgrading an infantry unit from a paratrooper into a regular infantry would keep its type as a plane (if the para unit was not on the ground).
• Anyone could delete any hosted PBEM game (instead of host only).

• Germany trying to naval invade the UK on Europe scenarios (when historical focus is ON).
• Some units were in the wrong category/wrongly categorized.
• AI not moving to certain enemy victory points when it should have.
• Progressive cost working wrongly (being always +1).
• Winter version of non frozen lake had the same texture as a frozen lake, which would lead to some confusion.


REMOVED

ADDED
• New setting: No AA support fire during air on air engagements.
• Auto-saving when playing offline PBEM, whenever the 'next human player playing' menu appears, the game will perform a save with the player's country name + turn count, example: Hungary_5. This will save you to have to do it manually. All you have to do is send the file to your friend(s) now. It will also automatically open the directory for you once the save is ready.


CHANGED
• Multiplayer compatibility version bumped to match latest game version.
• Defending (being attacked) on a frozen river now will grant the attacker double damage against the defender.
• AI will now properly upgrade/downgrade to other units for garrisons if your mod is not in the same time period as the base game.
• Sped up going back to main menu from game speed a little (about 5% speed increase, haha).
• Units in the reserve now have to pay 50% of their upkeep instead of 30% (a 20% increase, basically).
• Increased upkeep for heavy infantry, commandos, panzergrenadiers, shock infantry, paratroopers, marines, NKVD.
• Autosave naming format (clearer).
• Some diplomacy shenanigans when let's say Belgium is being declared war on by France which was in the same team, while also at war with Germany, now Belgium will join its own faction instead of joining the Axis.
• Light infantry manpower cost is a bit cheaper now (13,000 vs 15,000).

FIXED
• You had to pay to join a faction when being Neutral.
• Turn production value on the UI for upgrading/downgrading a unit was wrong.
• AI manpower hole when disbanding unused units (losing manpower, never getting it back for disbanding units in its reserve).
• Hungary 1944 standalone scenario was not marked as 'official scenario', therefore you could not unlock any achievement or leaderboard there.

ADDED
• Rodion Malinovsky to USSR (commander).
• When playing a multiplayer match (of any kind), you will now be able to send invitations to other people for them to join your alliance (before, this would not be possible, the human player would need to leave his own faction, and pay to join the other one). But now, you can be invited by somebody else from that faction directly. The invitation(s) appear in the notifications stack, so look for it there.


CHANGED
• Multiplayer compatibility version --> 7.7.11.
• Europe 1943 scenario has been fully updated and reworked as part of the great Europe revamp process.
• Europe 1944 scenario has been fully updated and reworked as part of the great Europe revamp process.
• The setting 'production takes time' is now required for ironman mode to be ON..
• When historical focus is ON, AI minors and allied with Germany will transfer what they capture to Germany (basically, if Slovakia captures territory in the USSR, it will transfer it back to Germany).
• Attacking anti tank obstacles will no longer trigger supportive fire from nearby artillery.
• Finnish units in the store will now have the winter option turned ON by default (free for them).
• Few units graphics.
• Going to war will now provide a manpower (realistic) 'refill'. Only happens when changing from Neutral to actually at war. Your available manpower will be the max - fielded value, instead of staying the same as the turn before.
• To prevent any exploit, but also to solve another problem, faction changes are no longer free. You no longer can switch team 10 times in a turn for free. The fee will be calculated based on your turn income (base) and the amount of people you are at war with. The more people at war with you in your current faction, the more expensive it will be. Extra fee cost for going to neutral in the middle of a war.
• Total mobilization policy now has a new debuff of -1 HQ point per turn.
• When going back to neutrality through faction change in the diplomacy menu, the fee that has been established will now be equally shared through all members at war with the player. • So, let's say Hungary wants to go back to Neutrality but is at war with UK + France + USA, the money that will be spent to get Neutrality will be split and sent to all 3 players that were at war with him.
• Notifications data has changed and now allows for dynamic translation on the fly. The content of the notification no longer is saved, only relevant data, then the text displayed on the notification is generated from the data and will now use the language chosen in the game (won't affect singleplayer games, but has an impact on multiplayer ones where multiple players would be playing in different languages).
• Amount of HQ points earned every turn while not at war is now -50% (+3) of the regular value (+5).
• AI capability of sending some money to its allies has been revised and more control over it has been added (never sending more than the player's turn income at once, and minors will not send to majors, only majors to minors).


FIXED
• AI will no longer deploy/field new units if its upkeep cost is too high (you could basically bankrupt the AI by sending him a ton of high upkeep units and the AI would deploy them all).
• AI would perform unit swapping with human controlled units.
• Partisans spawning right after a country capitulated.
• Wrong deployment tooltip rule for coastal batteries.
• Game was not unloading from RAM mods after they were removed or deactivated. Basically, you could load the same mod 10 times and it would be loaded as new every time and the old data would not be purged. Only a game restart fixed it.
• Custom upkeep value was not really properly applied to the AI bought units.
