use ab as allies and you can do the same

[Demon767]

dont you have to unlock AB and not be able to deploy 3 squads around the map in 10 seconds at the start of the map?

[salan]

I believe the time that demon played it was a lot different then it is now.  There are 2 infiltrators that are non-unlocks for pe, 1 airborne for american, and 1 glider for brits.

I find the infiltration and airborne / glider combos all equal out really nicely adding a very fun level of play throughout.

not sure if i'll work no the brit support tonight, got a few more tweaks to fix though.

[Draken]

Did you fix locale files?

[salan]

Ah shize. no. I'll do that now for the next one

[Bubz]

does this work with steam? cuz I am not able to launch it.

[salan]

you need to change the link if its not the CD install generic directory.

then it works

[salan]

ahh, working midnight shifts all week got me a bit behind.  Half done the british support throughout the week, so that'll be done pretty soon.

then we'll start working on the art work!

[Dragon93]

The fun part of it all

[salan]

The fun part will be getting the canadian, polish, volksturm and luftwaffe factions working on the current build of VCoH ... but I think I'll wait a bit

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO
do it for me salan, ur little tester boy 

[salan]

Oh im still working on it, i just can't get em to work yet.

once I figure it out, we'll have a 8 faction game

[GeneralGlacko]

heh i give you this kind sir

[salan]

It would be easily doable as requirement actions..  but i want them to be completely separate.

For instance if i take EVERY british unit/unlock in game right now and made them require a upgrade to display, then made a whole new faction called canadian and made them require a different upgrade to display, i could in effect piggy back the canadian in the british faction and have multiple multiple factions that way in the original commonwealth faction selection.

but I really want to make them selectable at the menu game creation like Eastern front had done.

[salan]

Will be repricing wehrmacht support and infantry in the next update,
adding in british support units,
adding in a infiltration mg for the PE
and looking at ideas for the wehrmachts mg deployment (perhaps swapping the puma's occupants..)

then all factions have a fast deploy mg.

Welcome to FALL OF FRANCE ALPHA stage 2!
http://www.filefront.com/14616599/FallofFranceALPHA2.rar/


Stage two starts with:

A completely realized game, unique in its unlocking mechanisms and technique.  You gain 1 population, and .003 CommandPoints (per minute) per sector you own.  Unlock units in the Infantry / support AND Armor doctrine trees and go back and forth as the situation and your desire permits!

the next steps?

-Art... I will update with a unit symbol update and then start working on the skins and models.
-Expansion... I am looking into adding 4 more factions from the game selection lobby.. (Canadian, Polish, Volksturm, Luftwaffe)
-A website and Autoupdater... I will look into these options as it is obvious to retain you must have knowledge freely available, and this style of mod will NEED the knowledge being accessible.
-balance... constantly working on balance.
