That's right, the new version is upon us.
It will mean Commandeers are used for building and take-overs, new costs/stats for troops and buildings, plus a few bug fixes.
The development news page will have all the details.

I'll be uploading the new version at the end of today(game time).
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the change, all games will have to be restarted. Existing games will be recorded though.

will we need new downloads?
Posts : 3851
there will be a new download in the near future.
i'm just doing one part at a time now, rather than everything in one go.
the sooner we move to the new system the better.
the flash interface is mainly cosmetic stuff which can wait a bit longer.

Hail Lord Req!
Shaber - use your commandeers :-). Position them next to the top left square of the building, and don't stand on what will be part of the building.

Lots of them? That's good, my cat is really hungry.
What about a cheese wall to stop them?

Req: For one thing I feared the start might be crappy, since you have to move commandeers to the spot to build then build, but commandeers don't require 100% AP, and start out with 100%.
The free starting buildpoints have been cleverly replaced.
Besides that you remembered to let people start with multiple stacks (!).
The start is still a bit slower, and there is a fear of people going around with a stack of 25 scouts attacking ppl's castles (I hope you made it less debilitating to have a castle at 99%!), but the rest is done quite nicely. Inlcuding the choice of starting troops.

ahh yes. well, i've just fixed the Castle/no-income bug.
So attacking a castle to make them have no income will no longer work. (altho their income will be reduced as its based on health/maxhealth)
however, the starting system is still a bit iffy. I'm not too happy with it.
I may end up making it like it was before with the armies already on the map, except this time the numbers will be based on what you choose. So you end up with 2 Comms armies, and 1 of each of the others (so long as you pick enough of them). These armies will start with 100% AP.
Creating new armies will start with 0% AP.
Plus, when placing the castle, it will automatically place 1 of each resource around the castle within a few sqrs. This ensures ALL players get a min.ammount of resources to start off.

Maybe I no understand...
What if resource buildings aren't near their piles? Wouldn't it be better to allow the player to build some free buildings of their choice? And then get rid of the begin 100% AP...
