1. Laser Guided Bombs added
Laser guided bombs have been added today as a new product in Simcountry. Laser guided bombs are used by stealth bombers.
Laser guided bombs can be produced and traded on the FB world only. They can also be traded on all worlds in direct selling between countries or enterprises and in contracts between players. In addition, laser guided bombs will be traded in the future (Starting December 13) on the Cervus space station.
Laser guided bomb corporations can be build on FB and will produce 240 bombs per game year when running at 100% production.
2. Stealth Bomber Wings
A new air force unit is added. The unit currently has 12 stealth bombers and can be used to attack military/air force units, weapons and military targets. The units will be used in the very near future to auto attack the enemy as a response to an attack. The auto attack feature is not available yet but manual attacks can take place now.
The size of the units may be changed next week after some more testing is done in a real environment. The size may be set to 25 stealth bomber but the definitive number will be decided upon after current testing is completed.
3. War level 8
War level 8 will be added in a few weeks after testing of the stealth bombing wings is completed and the auto attack feature is installed. To reach war level 8, your country must win a war against a C3 country which is also fitted with a stealth bomber wing that will attack your country in case of war.
We do not expect such attacks to be very significant, at least not in war level 8 as the C3 country will have only one, stealth bomber unit available. However, this is a departure from the C3 war mode when the C3 country was able to defend but never carried out an attack.
On the Fearless Blue world, reaching war level 8 will be awarded with 200 Gold coins.
4. Maps
The new world maps with multiple zoom levels will be installed in December. The expected date for the release is December 20.
The new maps are an addition to current maps but the big map will be replaced by a larger set that will allow more detailed zooming and introduce much larger maps.
Following the installation of the new maps, work will continue to move the entire war game to this new environment. This will completely change the land based war game and will provide a much better visibility of the war theater. Multiple maps will become available to allow for good visibility even when multiple wars take place, showing the enemy country and the location of army units in more details.
5. War and weapons document
The war and weapons documents are updated and describe the new stealth bombers and laser guided bombs.
6. Bug Fixed - Space Storage
A serious problem with the storage of products that require a small amount of space per unit prevented players from storing such products on docking stations.
The problem is now solved. |
