  1. Global Balance Changes:
  2. - Significant changes made to tank, antitank and infantry antitank scatter. Ballistic weapon misses will look more realistic as opposed to firing far off target when the shot misses.
  3. - Significant fixes made to area of effect damage related to area of effect "accuracy". Previously there was a potential to not apply area of effect damage even on minimum radius. Area of effect will now always be applied correctly.
  4. - Area of effect damage and penetration profiles tuned down to make area of effect weapon effectiveness work as intended after the area of effect "accuracy" fix.
  5. - Tank area of effect profiles redone to make them less reliant on direct impacts and more on area of effect damage. This is also a change that works because and is highly related to scatter changes.
  6. - Fixed an issue with Anti-blob being cast by every entity in the squad, applying more times than expected.
  7. - Anti-blob radius decreased from 10 to 8.5.
  8. - Anti-blob should no longer affect squads who are inside of buildings, bunkers and halftracks. This does not include trenches.
  9. - Anti-blob rebalanced; it gives a received suppression of 1.2, received accuracy of 1.05 and weapon accuracy of 0.9.
  10. - Anti-blob now shows up on all affected squads as a red indicator on the left side of the squad icon.
  11. - Anti-blob is no longer cast by squads that have 2 or less squad members remaining.
  12. - Upkeep now works in a non-linear fascion. Every point of population will increase overall upkeep according to this equation: 0.9 + 0.35 * current_pop / 125
  13. - Significantly increased light cover effectiveness.
  14. - Slightly increased heavy cover effectiveness.
  15. - Starting resources increased.
  16. - Manpower income from HQs decreased.
  17. - Income from manpower points significantly decreased.
  18. - Base HQ fuel income increased from 5 to 7.
  19. - Removed manpower income from munition and fuel points.
  20. - Victory Point Control possibilities changed from 250/500/1000 to 500/650/800.
  21. - Fuel and Munition strategic point capture time redone:
  22. * High 40s/35s -> 25s/20s
  23. * Medium 30s/25s -> 20s/15s
  24. * Low 20s/15s -> 15s/10s
  25. - Manpower strategic point revert time reduced from 15s to 10s.
  26. - Passive healing abilities (Supply Halftrack, Ambulance, Medic) will no longer heal squads which are in combat. Squads require to be at least 5s out of combat for them to start healing.
  27. - Mortar area of effect profile changes increasing their consistency:
  28. * Reduced lethal range AoE damage radius.
  29. * Reduced medium range AoE damage and radius.
  30. * Increased maximum range AoE damage and radius.
  31. - Mortar Shell trajectory slightly improved.
  32. - Mortar effectiveness against bunkers doubled.
  33. - Heavy machine gun effectiveness vs suppressed units reduced.
  34. - Heavy machine gun teardown and setup times reduced.
  35. - Bolt-action and semi-automatic rifle range decreased from 53 to 42, and range table adjusted to 9/20/30/40.
  36. - Sub machine gun and assault rifle range table adjusted to 5/15/23/32.
  37. - Moving accuracy penalty of all small arms weapons decreased and normalized from 0.3-0.75 to 0.8.
  38. - Normalized min/max small arms damage. We felt that damage was too inconsistent, creating for very random performance of most weapons. Weapons should feel much more reliable in their prefered combat situations.
  39. - Sniper rifle range decreased from 63 to 48, and increased the cooldown between each shot from 8.5 to 9 seconds. Sniper Spam was a serious problem when playing pvp - being too cost-effective and too easily capable of hardcountering any infantry squad, Sniper Rifles have seen a decrease in rate of fire and now require to be closer to the action.
  40. - Units that have a camouflage ability will no longer receive a movement buff during camouflage once achieving a certain veterancy rank.
  41. - Fixed the range tables of all 20mm guns, to fall in line with the regular standard; the old range tables made the weapons unintendedly inconsistent on certain ranges. Now there is a consistent damage drop off on larger ranges.
  42. - Maximum population cap for all armies is now set to 125.
  43. - Base population cap for all armies increased by 10.
  44. - Demolition charges recharge time increased from 10 to 25 seconds.
  45. - Demolition charges munition cost decreased from 50 to 35. Due to the nature of Demolition Charges being difficult to use, there was no reason the cost was so steep.
  46. - Demolition charges damage multiplier against all building types increased from 1 to 1.5.
  47. - Goliath damage and area of effect tables equalized to demolition charges.
  48. - Hand-held infantry anti-tank weapons (Panzerschreck, M9 bazooka, M18 recoilless rifle and PIAT) target tables normalized.
  49. - Hand-held infantry anti-tank weapon reloading times standardized: Panzerschreck, bazooka and recoilless rifle reload now takes 8 seconds and PIAT reloads 7 seconds.
  50. - Reworked fuel upkeep to the values that were intended:
  51. * King Tiger fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 6 per minute.
  52. * Tiger fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 5 per minute.
  53. * Panther, Jagdpanther, Churchill and M26 Pershing fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 4 per minute.
  54. * Shermans, Panzer IV's, Cromwell, Firefly, Priest, Hummel, Ostwind, Wirblewind, Hetzer, Sturmgeschütz IV and Sturmhaubitze 42 fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 3 per minute.
  55. * M10 Wolverine, M36 Jackson, M18 Hellcat, Marder III, Geschützwagen and Nashorn fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 2 per minute.
  56. * M8 Greyhound, Sd.Kfz. 234 Puma, Hotckiss, Armored Car, Reconnaissance Halftrack, T17, Staghound, Kangaroo, Tetrach and Stuart fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 1 per minute.
  57. - Weapon crews inside emplacements received damage decreased by 50%.
  58. - Grenade recharge time increased from 15 to 20 seconds.
  59. - Grenade throwing range decreased from 25 to 20. The reason behind this is that it was too easy to use grenades in all situations, decreasing the effect of cover and defensive positions.
  60. - Fixed a bug where some grenade types would not be thrown at the combat slots of buildings; making them unreliable against larger building types.
  61. - Most infantry abilities can no longer be used once the squad is pinned, exceptions are for example Fire-Up, Assault and Sprint.
  62. - Medic Station Medics health decreased from 142 to 110.
  63. - Heroic Infantry armor now decreases received suppression by 20% as opposed to 50%.
  64. - Completely reworked critical hits to tanks:
  65. *Frontal Armor Hits:
  66. #100-40% hitpoints: 100% none
  67. #40-5% hitpoints: 40% none 42% engine damage 10% detrack 8% gun damage
  68. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  69. *Rear Armor Hits:
  70. #100-40% hitpoints: 90% none 10% engine damage
  71. #40-5% hitpoints: 20% none 50% engine damage 15% engine destroyed 15% detrack
  72. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  73. - Reworked AoE weaponry vs, tank critical hits:
  74. *Frontal Armor Hits:
  75. #100-40% hitpoints: 100% none
  76. #40-5% hitpoints: 55% none 22% engine damage 10% destroy secondary weapon 5% detrack 8% gun damage
  77. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  78. *Rear Armor Hits:
  79. #100-40% hitpoints: 90% none 10% engine damage
  80. #40-5% hitpoints: 25% none 45% engine damage 15% engine destroyed 10% destroy secondary weapon 5% detrack
  81. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  82. - Tracked down and fixed the remaining situations where the 5% health bug would appear.
  83. - Removed the Population Upkeep threshold for all nations, this value removed the upkeep of x amount of entities.
  84. - Panzerfaust base damage decreased from 275 to 200 and target tables fixed. The General performance versus vehicles should be like this:

  87. *18% of a Pershing
  88. *22% of a Churchill
  89. *44% of a Stuart
  90. *61%/41% of a M8/T17/Staghound
  91. *53% of a M3 Halftrack

  704.  
  705. AI:
  706. - Significantly improved and switched around much of the unit purchase logic.
  707. - Difficulty settings adjusted and the resource bonuses have been reworked (mostly heavily reduced).
  708. - Overhauled much of Attack and Defend targets logic. Key new features include:
  709. * Additional logic for moving units to corners of the map which weren't usually considered by the AI. This affects maps like Wolfheze most of all
  710. * Improved AI spreading out across the map overall.
  711. * Significantly improved AIs rushing to the middle of the map at the beginning of the game.
  712. * Fixed an issue where AI would be too hesitant to advance onto enemy positions. This also massively improves the issue of it getting stuck on bridges.
  713. * Fixed AI for maps where HQ are closer together than normal (like Etavaux).
  714. * Further improved frontline forming and enemy encirclement by the AI.
  715. * AI is now more likely to defend areas with its attacking units, making it not leave any holes in its frontline and also resulting in fewer unit clumps when attacking.
  716. * AI will now consider targets distance from both friendly HQs instead of just its own.
  717. * AI will now respond to threats near its base and in friendly territory much better.
  718. * Improved defensive building placement.
  719. * Introduced a balanced randomness element to how AI chooses its attack and defend targets which gets reset periodically to a new value, ensuring that AI will try new approaches rather than trying same strategies over and over. This also helps plug any holes in the overall targets logic.
  720. * Improved performance: added caching of values that are reused throughout the game, capped the total amount of points that get processed per update.
  721. - AI will no longer idle for a number of seconds at the beginning of the game, it is initialized almost instantly.
  722. - Significantly reduced instances where AI would get stuck and not do anything due to map types or topology.
  723. - Fixed an issue which caused AI to get stuck on and around bridges or some map areas.
  724. - Made crucial improvements and fixes to AI capture logic:
  725. * Significantly reduced instances of capturing under fire.
  726. * Can now capture non-connected territory if it wants to.
  727. * Significantly reduced instances of the endless move-capture orders bug.
  728. - AI can now use reward units.
  729. - Significant improvements made to aicontrol script:
  730. * Significantly improved script performance. The script will automatically slow down based on the number of units present in the game. Overall load that script produces should pretty much stay the same throughout the game. The updates, however, are massively sped up in general, while performance impact is decreased across the board. Reduced stutter, increased variable memory access speed by moving a lot of variables from global to local scope, from tables to singular variables.
  731. * Added many more types of units to unit control such as AT guns, mobile artillery, snipers.
  732. * Mobile artillery and mortars will now be forced to keep their distance from the enemy.
  733. * Team weapons will now move back properly if they think they're in danger.
  734. * Team weapons will now quickly retreat if the threat of the enemy close by is high enough.
  735. * Team weapons will now rotate to fire at the enemy if they see a better target than they're facing at more often. This also fixes MGs facing at wrong direction and not trying to rotate.
  736. * Across the board improvements in the different settings for all the team weapons.
  737. * Redone most of the British HQ setup logic, improving performance and reducing bugs.
  738. * Retreat is now handled through this file, retreat rules updated significantly, added proper retreat from buildings (previously fixing this wasn't possible due to engine bugs or missing features).
  739. * AT guns now have a completely different way to set up, only staying in the fight if they're fighting vehicles and retreating from infantry.
  740. * Added a new behavior for units which makes them attack move towards the enemy at opportune moments rather than just seek cover and set up towards them. This is used for making snipers as deadly as possible.
  741. * The way units seek retreat and setup direction is redone completely, taking friendly units into account and choosing setup direction more intelligently.
  742. * Team weapons should no longer needlessly resetup as often right when the enemy enters their vicinity.
  743. * Significantly improved the way AI chooses artillery clump targets.
  744. * Bypassed a weird scar error which would occur after certain campaign missions.
  745. - Added a brand new combat unit control script:
  746. * All infantry is now controlled manually by the script when they enter combat.
  747. * This script actually increases overall game performance as well. Vanilla AI executes tactics much more often and less efficiently, this script slows down together with the rest of the features making lategame utilize less CPU per unit.
  748. * Units will take cover more intelligently. The script utilizes facing command and uses a double cover search to find positions behind cover rather than simply in any cover as AI would do before.
  749. * Improved a lot of ability usage tactics.
  750. * Added 'help' behavior, making squads seek friendly AI units around them when engaged and making them attack the enemy. This massively increases AI aggressiveness and adds wave-like battles.
  751. * Added assault behavior. Assault troops will now close the distance, squads such as riflemen will try to get to mid range engagements. Different squads use different optimal close in distances. The AI will also intelligently seek cover at their assault location.
  752. * Assault behavior can choose to execute flanking maneuvers while closing in. Based on where the closest friendly squad is, assaulting squads may split off into different assault directions
  753. * Assault behavior may be triggered on all units if AI thinks it has overwhelming numbers in an area and may not be triggered at all if the numbers are overwhelming in enemy favor.
  754. - Added a brand new vehicle control script:
  755. * Vehicles will now be forced to face the enemy properly.
  756. * Vehicles will now retreat from danger properly.
  757. * Vehicles will now move back to the HQ or to closest safe point when low on health or when they have critical damage.
  758. * There are special rules for certain vehicles, altering their behavior based on the type of behavior you would expect from them (for example, sherman crocodile will start to keep its distance much later than normal unless there's enemy armor in its vicinity).
  759. - Added a brand new barrage ability control script:
  760. * Fixes issues with AI never using some barrage units.
  761. * Picks targets using data from aicontrol grid clump calculations rather than relic's clump search functions.
  762. * Can utilize special rules just like normal abilities, but much more reliably - for instance, mortars will fire smoke barrages in front of enemy MGs.
  763. * Adheres to normal AI squad ability budget logic - saves up ammo in the lategame, with a small chance of spending the ammo regardless of the fact that AI still thinks it does not have enough. Previously AI squad abilities worked the same way too, except much less reliably (engine bugs).
  764. - Added a brand new engineer control script. The script may force squads to construct certain defensive structures or repair nearby vehicles after retreating.
  765. - To go along with the new vehicle script, important improvements were made to repair unit purchase logic, increasing the number of pioneers and engineers AI builds proportionally to the number of friendly vehicles on the field.
  766. - Added weights to AI command tree choices - slightly improves randomness but also adds weights which make AI choose the trees more suitable for it slightly more often.
  767. - AI will no longer use follow on squads with team weapons.
  768. - Altered AI VP importance logic:
  769. * Made AI more frantic about capturing victory points if it's about to lose, regardless of how many points the enemy has.
  770. * AI should start paying attention to its victory points much sooner in the game.
  771. * Significantly increased AI victory point importance increase on low victory point count.
  772. * Victory point importance logic now reflects how many victory points AI needs to not bleed victory points. It should be much more aggressive if it has less points than it needs to stay even, and should play as usual when it's not bleeding points, or is bleeding the enemy.
  773. * Changed the way the victory point importance accumulates due to AI having less victory points than the enemy.
  774. - Significantly improved weapon pick up logic.
  775. - Significantly improved team weapon capture logic.
  776. - AI will no longer try to capture forward HQs under fire.
  777. - Fixed one more possibility where AI could end up turning the 3rd level production on and off endlessly.
  778. - Decreased AI basic infantry building priority when it's close to popcap.
  779. - AI unit wait time increased, making AI purchase the exact units it needs instead of quickly spamming out cheaper ones. This was also required to let Wehrmacht AI build heavy armor after the cost increase.
  780. - AI will now build its first building near the HQ to reduce the walk time and build it as fast as possible.
  781. - Improved building enter logic.
  782. - Added a script which increases AI starting resources.
  783. - AI will sometimes buy flamethrowers on engineers and pioneers again. The demand function was not working correctly.
  784. - Further improvements made to how AI uses unit abilities.
  785. - Improved airborne and all glider drop locations.
  786. - Revisited AI buildorders to update them to the new income and starting resources.
  787. - Significantly reduced the amount of (or hopefully completely fixed) tactics position 'validation failed' errors. This also fixes AI budget problems that were stopping it from purchasing anything.
  788. - American AI will now build the motorpool even if there's a tank depot already in play. The demand decrease if there was a tank depot was too large.
  789. - American AI will rush t3 more often.
  790. - American AI will now sometimes choose to upgrade the supply yard instead of buying tech buildings and buy the first upgrade faster.
  791. - Improved advanced tanks upgrade purchase logic for American AI.
  792. - Improved airborne supply drop logic.
  793. - Strafing runs will almost never be used against vehicles anymore.
  794. - AI will now properly use bombing runs.
  795. - Significantly improved Wehrmacht AI tech choices.
  796. - Wehrmacht AI will now sometimes skip t3.
  797. - Adjusted the priority of buying puma upgun upgrade.
  798. - Improved field medkit use logic.
  799. - Improved Panzer Elite building purchase logic.
  800. - Panzer Elite AI will now have a 50% chance to not repair vehicles (this choice is recalculated every 30 seconds).
  801. - Panzer Elite AI will now start using its Kettengrad from the beginning of the game instead of waiting for its first squad.
  802. - Large improvements to the way Panzer Elite AI buys upgrades and techs up.
  803. - Improved Butterfly Bomb drop logic, reduced frequency.
  804. - AI will no longer use henshel overwatch on infantry.
  805.  
  806. Maps:
  807. - Improved AI getting clumped up on northern Vire River Valley bridge.
  808. - Moved around many AI points on Vire River Valley.
  809. - New Map: Downtown (6) by TheSphinx (despite these following changes, all credits go to him)
  810. * Added AI markers.
  811. * Removed certain splats (Parachutes).
  812. * Moved and deleted many objects to allow for better passability for vehicles.
  813. * Cleared and levelled base areas area to ease the construction of base structures.
  814. * Added the missing accessories to the Axis HQ's.
  815. * Added one base MG to all players.
  816. * Disabled the Pantherturm. (note: this is a mod-specific object, meaning that you can't use this edited version of the map outside of Back to Basics)
  817. - Angoville:
  818. * Replaced all high munitions points with medium munitions points
  819. * Moved axis base base MG to prevent it from covering the fuel point.
