"Taking the Lead" update now LIVE!


Commanders,

We are releasing our second patch after releasing to 1.0 earlier this week. This update includes changing the way we are handling the leaderboard, as well as several fixes and addressing issues and balance considerations in the campaign.

This update should also make modding the campaign easier as we have moved all the data to lua and updated the Deutsch translation.

Core Game
  • New Feature: Quickmatch Leaderboards have moved to quarterly reset. The first will be 1 month long, and the rest will be 3 months starting in October, January, April, and July.
  • Translation: German translations updated
Bug Fixes
  • Fix for player sometimes having the wrong veterancy set when joining a co-op campaign as a guest
  • Fixed (Hidden) Purple Star Objectives to display correctly in both solo and co-op campaigns.
  • Fixed bridges highlighting when they should not.
Campaign
  • Moved a bunch of campaign data (Gold Timers, Bonus Starting Resources, and Resource Node Values) to single Lua file per campaign (to make potential Mods easier).
