Version 4.3.1 (aka "Update 3")
New Mission Included with Update
“Russian Bear†– Defend Moscow and then kill the command unit in St. Petersburg.New Features
Missile storage limit now a startup lobby option Unit Roles as subset of ROE (Rules of Engagement) implemented: --- Unit "Target Priority" options based on selected unit roles will allow units to only target certain types of targets.Land, Air, Sea, Sub, Fortifaction attacks, and allow use of WMD are the 6 options.
Selections are what the unit can attack by default. Fortification attack must be selected by the player or specifically orderd by the player and does not come default selected.
The WMD option works when "autoloading missiles" is selected. This allows a unit to get its own missiles and even select WMD missiles.
Unit roles will allow an air unit with ground and air attack values to ignore ground targets and remain at mid air to engage targets.
Unit roles will allow a land unit to ignore firing on enemy naval units (useful when you are about to take over a region and you are hoping to get their navy).
Fixed Missile Loading/Autoloading issues related to new unit roles. Units can now be ordered to "autoload" their own missles when unit is not at full missile capacity AND based on the selected unit roles as chosen in the units ROE. When autoload is selected and there are available missiles the unit can be ordered to fire missiles and will continue to autoload its own missiles. Autoloading of missiles will start with autodeployed missiles first, then non autodeployed missiles. It will also select missiles with launch authority above missiles without launch authority. Unit roles can also be adjusted in advanced orders for multiple units at once. To reset unit roles to default chose all land, air, sea, sub types. Modified feature - you now "choose to accept autodeployed missiles" instead of preventing autodeployedGame Improvements / Fixes
Display #s of missiles fixed for 65K limit (will disp glitch in saved games created before update 3) Fixed issue with 'shadow' war status against dead regions Fixed Load failure from saved missions & custom scenarios Fixed Tech Tree errors on some technologies Moved location of files in INI\, TUTORIALS\, LOCALIZE\, and FONTS\ to accomodate localization requirements (future game translations) Completed and tested all Localization Importers Fixed rare crash bug with AI counter-offer loop No longer stay a WM member in 'top level' (world) map Fixed Repair Rate issue that caused repairs to take 4x longer "Estimated Price" for manual purchases shows in red if greater than treasury False data from Mapeditor no longer loaded (Research, Cmd Queues) Fixed GDP/c 'escape velocity' growth bug Corrected 'buyingpower' calculation for extended high inflation regions Added an inflation effect to 'gdpcbase' value (creating longer term inflation effects) Fixed log output bug on CivApr (Civialian Approval) Target number Consumers have stronger reaction to very high domestic prices Corrected bug with 'Agree' Button from Minister Emails Allow setting of AI difficulty in Multiplayer games Changed Minister reactions to Raise Prices/Lower Prices priorities Changed Unit 'out of ammo' return when loaded with missiles instead Air units no longer change 'home base' as often Updated code to address Accidental Incursion/War bug Units will no longer Merge with themselves Improved & Optimized AI 'unit requested' dispatching/orders Optimized 'unitorders' process (resulting in less MP (Multiplayer) data traffic) Destroying/nuking capital no longer wins 'capture capital' games - capital is moved. Now reporting # of icbm's & nuclear icbms in panels Adjusted AI HQ dispatch unit quantities, distances adding a greater AI challenge Demolition capabilities of units now fully supported Engineers & Demolition now only affect player, not allies/others Repaired/Improved a number of 'return to base' issues (hopefully!) Further improved Air unit movement - Escort, Resupply, etc Fixed missile issues - resetting launch authority, forced base return Modified use of <1 hex missiles to include ZOC attacks Air Patrol class no longer suffers effiency loss on patrolling Units should no longer destack into an enemy zone of control Artillery no longer fire on air units using indirect arty fire WM subsidies spread out over time, not lump sum WM Tech trades more likely WM will now offer equip & designs for leg-class units AI regions no longer accepts very long-term paybacks on offers Low GDP Economies generate a bit more tax income Domestic Pricing Changes; demand effect, DAR effect Fixed issues with getting full value for domestic markups World Market subsidy units no longer auto-deploy Fixed issue that WM Boycotts only looked at for members - WM now boycotts non members Military Advisors added as part of WM support Difficulty changes have greater affect on starting wm approvals Autosave defaults changed: no client MP autosave; 7 days default for all game types Fixed bug where war declared against player would lower approvals Fixed bug regarding loss of reserves when upgrading base size Fixed bug that electricity imports actually cost many times more Increased WM cash/product subsidy frequencies; reduced units Wrong reaction on war declaration by World Market towards regions fixed. AI no longer accepts repeated offers for the same unit design while time is paused Fixed missiles lost during campaign transition to new scenario Launch grids that were not working properly are not functioning Rebalanced WM subsidy for poor AI regions Solved price of importing electricity to accurate levels Reloading a game and switching regions no longer keeps the governemnt type of previous region. Price now reports for entire missile pack not for one missile Aircraft trying to reach far destination now rebase defcon stuck at 3 when not at war fixed Some equipment file entries adjusted for accuracy Fixed mission "reload from lobby" problems Cabinet minister takes action when player agrees to domestic prices too high e-mail Values check for tech tree benefits AI deploys missiles for use Graphics issue frame 3-6, replaced missing Port picture Solved issue of defcon stuck at 3 when not at war Europe win no longer becomes North America player in World Map during Campaign carryover. Grouping regions to WM works again Player no longer retain WM membership on World map in campaign Pluton missile and Sub launched nuclear tomahawk missile added Trident/poseidon/polaris nuclear sub launched damage values corrected Units of surrendered region no longer remain in play. Status Line report for Artillery kills show only once The World Market can no longer be accidentally nuked Only engineers override "no destroy due to loyalty" Consumer goods production now remains steady at day end Launch authority no longer resetting at random Unit moving when initiative = 0% only happens when individual unit initiative set above "none" in unit ROE Aircraft can no longer "park" on water Research no longer lost during campaign carry over Corrected launch platform type of certain missiles Aircraft when told to to "fire missile" no longer launch one volley then return home. Entire missile payload is launched before returning home unless unit required fuel. Fixed tech tree error in Technology Tree PDF An incomplete custom scenario in custom folder can no longer cause a crash (due to custom groupings) AI will NOT accept trades in return for money payed back over absurd lengths Players can now decide to reject a Unification Vote result if not the winner, resulting in a player having to resolve the map through military might.Unit Improvements

Silos do not respond to ‘autodeploy’ settings – ICBMs must be deployed manually. Multiplayer Games with a “Unification Vote†Victory type will not end properly if a player rejects the vote result. Full strength Fusion plants with the Cold Fusion improvement tech do not give the full expected output production. Saved Campaign games do not load properly from the Scenario Lobby – use the main menu or in-game to load them. Performance on maps with thousands of units can degrade if Pathing Display option is on (default is on). Shift-P toggles this option. In a Campaign game level progression, missiles returned from field units are not ‘grouped’, resulting in occasional long lists of available missiles. If a Peace treaty or Ceasefire is signed while missiles are in flight, the missiles may re-ignite hostilities unintentionally. Overall Score values are weighted too heavily in some areas such as Research. Trades of money or goods do not get cancelled when war is declared. In certain very rare circumstances, enemy units may still deploy from a base after it has been captured. It is possible to trade “Non-Tradeable†Technologies.These issues will be resolved in future updates.
Enjoy Update 3!!!
