Yesterday we opened up the control panel to our pre-alpha testing audience.
The control panel allows the users to join a side (Axis or Allied) pick a doctrine and create companies, buy units and assign those purchased units to platoons. He can then battle other users with any of his created companies.
After a short period of intensive stress-testing, we were glad to note that the control panel is more or less bug free, enabling us to spend the rest of our time working towards improving the control panel interface-wise and getting the in-game modification, required for playing the battles, on a playable level.
fldash has also been hard at work getting the last bugs out of the in-game mod and after letting the testers give a go at it, we expect to be able to launch a public alpha test shortly after! So stay tuned for updates as our project nears alpha release.
If you are still interested in testing out the mod and aiding us with development, don't hesitate to let us know at http://forums.europeinruins.com/index.php/topic,143.0.html.
