Balancing

  • The Railroad Gun has become the optimal unit to build in most situations. We want to introduce more variety into unit build paths, while preserving the RRGs unique character as a wide reaching, heavy hitting artillery piece. To that end, we are adding a second level to the Railroad Gun. The stats are as follows:
    • Railroad Gun lvl 1
      • Day of Availability: 4 (3 for Axis Doctrine)
      • Secret Lab level required: 4 → 4
      • Speed: 25 → 18
      • Hit Points: 40 → 30
      • Damage (offensive)
      • Unarmored: 6.5 → 4
      • Light Armor: 7.5 → 5
      • Heavy Armor: 9 → 6
      • Air: 2.5 → 1.5
      • Naval: 5.5 → 4
      • Sub: 2 → 1.5
      • Building: 10 → 6.5
      • Morale: 3 → 2
      • Damage (defensive)
      • All offensive values divided by 4
      • Base Costs
      • Metal: 2540 → 2300
      • Oil: 2040 → 1840
      • Rare Materials: 2040 → 1840
      • Manpower: 2280 → 2130
      • Money: 3560 → 3220
      • Production time:
      • max: 80 → 72
      • min: 10 → 9
    • Railroad Gun lvl 2
      • Day of Availability: 14 (12 for Axis Doctrine)
      • Secret Lab level required: 4 → 5
      • Speed: 25 → 28
      • Hit Points: 40 → 50
      • Damage (offensive):
      • Unarmored: 6.5 → 7
      • Light Armor: 7.5 → 8.5
      • Heavy Armor: 9 → 10
      • Air: 2.5 → 2.5
      • Naval: 5.5 → 6
      • Sub: 2 → 2.5
      • Building: 10 → 11
      • Morale: 3 → 3.5
      • Damage (defensive):
      • All offensive values divided by 4
      • Base costs:
      • Metal: 2540 → 3510
      • Oil: 2040 → 2800
      • Rare Materials: 2040 → 2800
      • Manpower: 2280 → 2880
      • Money: 3560 → 4910
      • Production time:
      • max: 80 → 212
      • min: 10 → 13.25

General

  • Improved the particle effects system. Explosions from bombs and artillery shells will now look more natural, with more explosions happening over a wider area.
  • Replaced multiple incorrect historic unit images in the Research tree for the Axis doctrine.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused Pan-Asian planes to not take defensive damage when their patrol radius overlapped only slightly with hostile, non Pan-Asian planes.
  • Fixed a province on the Arms Race Event map that had upgrades only available for urban provinces such as Barracks.
  • Corrected a bug that caused Flame Tanks to benefit from the Pan-Asian doctrine’s forest terrain buff. Flame Tanks will now correctly ignore the doctrine bonus as intended.
