The Daily Update at the Com

**Husar** · 06-17-2009, 00:22

So, I wonder, did anyone here, especially those who have not reverse-engineered the code yet, actually understand what the first three changes mean in practical terms?

I certainly know all/most of the terms used but I can't really say what effect exactly these changes will have, at first it seemed to me like that was done intentionally, people wanted technicalities so they got some that they cannot really understand anyway, if so, I really liked the joke.

If everybody else does know what exactly they do, then I guess I'm the clown of this thread now.

I certainly think your correct Husar. They took the piss to a certain extent with the update. Made a point though.

Second part of the update

June 16th

Hi guys,

For the second part of today's daily update, we introduce another free unit - the Prussian Grenadiers. Wearing a distinctive brass fronted mitre cap, the Prussian Grenadiers are an explosive force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

#1 - I dunno.
#2 - String declarations without initialization or something which is pretty minor since it'd probably onle affect displaying text.
#3 - They added some stuff to their extermal data storage structure to add a some new information probably to make the rebels more intellegent.

June 17th:

Today's update concerns the campaign difficulty levels and current balancing. Looking beyond the changes made to the upcoming patch we're continuing to test different campaign scenarios with various difficulties.
We've increased the likelihood of rebellions on the harder settings now.

The patch has also made it into final testing. This means it's frozen, no more changes made and it now needs final approval, providing we find no issues all will be well.

Kind regards,
Kieran
