[/olist]
The next big update will add two new dice modes to the game: Low Luck and Biased Dice. Standard Dice will remain an option for players who prefer the classic RNG.
Heres how these new modes will work
Low Luck Dice
In Low Luck mode, the number of hits equals the total attack power or defense power of units, divided by six.
If there is a remainder after this calculation (a leftover number not divisible by 6, ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) the game rolls an extra die that hits if the result is equal to or less than the remainder.
Example:
2 Tanks and 2 Infantry have a combined Attack Power of 8 = (3+3+1+1)
Low Luck Calculation: 8 6 = 1, remainder 2
Total Hits = 1 guaranteed hit + a die roll that hits on 2 or lower
Biased Dice
These dice control for extreme results. For each roll, the game takes a random result out of 100 that corresponds to possible dice outcomes (1 through 6). Results of 2, 3, and 4 are more likely to occur than results of 1, 5, or 6.
Menus Visuals | Updated visuals on the Friends List, Notifications and Options menu Settings | Updated visuals and streamlined the Settings menu Heads Up Display (HUD) Victory Thermometer | Clearer visuals on the victory city counter in the HUD Heads Up Display (HUD) | Now located at the top of the screen (instead of the bottom) Hover Information | Names of territories / sea zones display beneath the HUD when you hover your cursor over an area so you dont have to guess if its Sea Zone 15 or 16!
Map Antarctica | Added the continent of Antarctica Southern Sea Zones | Expanded southern Sea Zones to create more space for units
War Report Post Game Reports | Players can now check out war reports for finished games! Visuals | Updated visuals of the report Information | Streamlined information to be more useful
Moving Your Troops Drag & Drop!!! | In addition to basic click/right-click, a click and drag option is now available drag & drop units directly in a region, or use the new tokens Unit Tokens | New pop-up tokens show units in a territory these tokens make it simple to pick out that one tank in Tokyo, or grab a unit from a crowded sea zone! Expand Movement Details | Click on the diamond movement markers to open a window with details about units involved in the move! Arrows | Refined movement arrows for a cleaner look Radial Menu | Radial Menu added as default way to control unit movement Standard Movement | Single unit movement is still available on ctrl + right click by default Blitz Visuals | New visuals highlight tank blitzes through regions Retreat Visuals | New visuals highlight battle retreats
Transport Overhaul Streamlined UI | Transport loading/unloading is now easier with a streamlined UI Cancellation | Individual steps of transport movement can now be cancelled, rather than needing to cancel the whole movement
Combat No More Lane Rolls!!! | All lanes now roll automatically, without needing to click-through much more like the board game! Bombing Raids | Updated visuals and interface for bombing raids (so its much easier to tell the difference between a bombers standard combat move vs. a raid) Combat Board Visuals | Updated a few visuals on the combat board Retreat | Prompt to Retreat or Press On is much clearer, (so you wont accidentally continue the battle when a strategic retreat is called for) Roll Log | Dice roll log now shows special rolls separately (ie. anti-air, surprise strikes and bombardments)
Game Phases End Phase | To avoid accidentally ending a phase, players now need to click and hold the end-phase button to proceed (players cant spam-click and miss a full phase anymore...but spamming Enter is still available) Phase Summary | Streamlined phase summary details (this is no longer a wall of text, but should now be useful at-a-glance!) Probability Estimates | Phase summaries now include rough estimates on how likely your planned battles are to succeed Mobilization | Industrial complexes now highlight your deployment options Updated Tool Tips | See more detailed prompts to help you complete your turns and understand the rules
Defense Profiles Interface | Updated the Interface for Defense Profiles Maximum 15 | Increased the maximum number of defense profiles to 15 Turn-based | Defense profiles can only be changed on your turn, not during your opponents turn***Make sure to confirm your defense profile before you finish your turn!!!
Stability | Improved overall stability and performance AI Fixes | Addressed several crashes/bugs in AI games Profanity Filter | Corrected bugs in the profanity filter that caused it to be too sensitive Readability | Text on older operating systems/devices should now be more readable
