A new update for Strategic Command WWII: World at War is now available. GAME ENGINE CHANGES • Fixed a Purchase Unit screen error that did not list the correct country unit information when coming back from the Production screen and having switched countries. • Fixed a Purchase Unit error that did not allow you to place Italian units in Sicily (Will952). • Fixed a Carrier interception error that did not apply its current research level to the intercepting aircraft (Gilber). • Free units from minor nations will now be able to upgrade relative to their current controlling major nation, previously they could not because consideration was still relative to their original parent nation (Gilber). • Players can now switch between the strategic menu options without having to close the current window, e.g. switch back and forth directly from Diplomacy to Research, to Purcahse Units etc (USGrant1962). • Loop sea transfer hexes enhanced for greater visibility (Christolos). LOCALIZATION CHANGES • added #GRAPHS_TEXT_1=, #GRAPHS_TEXT_2= and #PBEM++_OPTIONS_TEXT_4= 1939 Campaigns • Mobilization_2 script Italy Mobilizes In Response To Allied Invasion Preparations (Italy->Axis) corrected to swing Italy rather than the Dutch East Indies (EarlyDoors). • Chinese HQ Xue moved from 188,60 to 189,63, Chen deployed at 188,60, and Peng removed from 187,55 (Cpuncher). • Duplicated US unit names for 2nd and 3rd Mar Div removed (Mithrilotter). • Surrender_2 script amended so that French Somaliland will now only accept the armistice (i.e. if Vichy France is formed) if there is no Allied unit in Djibouti. However, if there is an Allied unit there that should later move out of Djibouti then French Somaliland will automatically accept the armistice unless France has been liberated, so it may be wise to keep one there. • Notes added to DE 105 explaining that saying yes means that Malaya will join the Allies. • Increased the chance of New Guinea joining the Allies as well as bringing forward the date of this being possible, so that the Allies will have a much better chance of getting a unit there before the Japanese. • Strategy Guides updated to mention that Japan can impede the flow of 30 MPPs reaching the USSR by placing naval units in the hexes adjacent to Vladivostok port (Pocus). All Campaigns • Logistics tech tool tip updated to mention that it boosts HQ minimum supply distribution (Elessar2). • The spelling of the US sub Archerfish has been corrected. • Made Vladivostok a Secondary Supply Center and corrected all spellings of the place in the game. • The spelling of Schukow corrected to Zhukov in the German language version of the game (IIo4Tu). • Road of Bones in Siberia added. • Airships can now upgrade to level 1 in both Naval Weapons and ASW (Mithrilotter). • Hex 176,73 changed from Jungle to Hill in order to provide some more frontage for combat east of Rangoon (Mithrilotter). • Rome has been added to the Victory text that appears in the image for the Axis Decisive Victory. • Axis AI Unit scripts amended so that if the Allies have captured the Philippines before 1944 then some of the Kamikaze units that were to deploy there may deploy in Japan instead. The condition of the Philippines having a surrendered status has also been removed (Mithrilotter). • The ability of China to research Advanced Subs and Heavy Bombers has been removed (IIo4Tu). • The ability of India to research Advanced Subs, Naval Warfare and Heavy Bombers has been removed (IIo4Tu). • Some Fortification scripts added for the Japanese AI (Mithrilotter). • Sound file battle3.ogg is now associated with the Supply scripts for Resistance Activity in Manchuria and Communist Partisan Activity in China (Mithrilotter). • Tool tip updated for Naval Weapons research (Christolos). • Loop sea transfer hexes enhanced for greater visibility (Christolos).
