Open beta patch 1.78 available from 8th July

[Galangalad]

Beta patch 1.7.8 is ready to be tested. Note that this IS a beta patch so if you install it you must accept that it there may still be some bugs remaining. If you encounter any, please report them in this thread.

This beta patch uses the test server for MP games. This means you cannot play or continue any games on the live server after installing this patch. However we encourage you to engage in multiplayer games with this beta to test the new features and multiplayer map.

You can find the installer here:

Changelog 1.75:

- Custom camouflage skins for ground vehicles: Accessible through the unit information panel.

This installer should install the game into your game folder where you originally installed the game into.

For Steam users: The installer will attempt to install to the default Steam folder. If you have Steam installed in a different folder,you need to manually navigate to that folder.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Noticed 2 things about the beta patch: (1) Before beta when you hovered over the repair icon, you would see the repair number and cost before clicking. Gone in beta. (2) When hovering or clicking (I forget which) on a unit's experience stars, you would see the actual experience number. Also gone in the beta.

The name locations for the blue alliance are displayed in pink.

Edit: They all turned pink after a few saves, regardless of the Alliance colour.

OK, this is damn strange. Both of those functions are back. I'm not sure why but I was killing some processes to help speed up game play and maybe something I killed affected those 2 functions. Not sure what it may have been but I might experiment a little and see if I can pin it down.

[Erik2]

Select the 'Location name' function.
Add a new (naval) unit, rename and confirm.
Note that a duplicate unit is deployed a couple of hexes to the left.

Edit: Move the duplicate unit, rename and confirm.
The BBs multiply like rabbits.

Edit-2: Looks like renaming and confirming or canceling will place a duplicate unit under the cursor.

Just installed the official v1.8.3.
Thanks

Could we please get a list of changes?
(the rename-unit-bug in the editor is not fixed, but I can work around it for now)

Edit: Never mind, there's a list of changes in the game news.
Nice, fruity bikini btw.
