Version 2.0.0, 5 Jun 2020

After fixing and tweaking some things we finally decided to make the early adopter branch the new official version 2.0.0 as we think it's now time to introduce all the major changes to everyone playing the game.

***********************************************************************************************************

Version 1.7.0 (7 Nov 2019)

We have uploaded a new update for you with a new level - level 10: Southern Germany.
The special skills now finally display more information, we hope you like it.
Some new graphics and balancing changes have also been made.
And frankycl refined the default color scheme for the range display, thanks a lot.
As before if you made some changes in the options you might want to delete the old scheme (in [Documents]\Linked Dimensions \TOEC Remastered\colors.xml) or reset to default in the options.

Here's the complete change list:

Levels

- Added level 10
- Level 9: Changed opponent placement, added saboteur for player, changed positions of player’s flaks
- Level 5: Removed wrongly placed Priest tank

Graphics

- Changed effects for special skills
- New portraits for most units

Balancing

- Decreased visual range for Long Tom and Black Dragon
- Changed cooldown for several special skills
- Skill “Dodge” doesn’t end the turn for the unit any more

UI

- Improved skill display

As alyways we are looking forward to your feedback.

***********************************************************************************************************
Version 1.6.0 (1 Nov 2019)

So, here is another update for you, which brings some major changes.
First of all, we have added level 9. Even if you already played it in the early adopter branch you still might want to have another look because we made some changes there.
We also added sandbags as a new gameplay element. You can build them on certain terrain tiles and they protect all (your and the enemy's) units on that tile.
The way units are loaded into ther skytrain has also changed: You first have to land the plane on a landing strip next to an airfield before units can enter. After landing the skytrain can take off again in the next round.

And finally the changes in the early adopter branch have been integrated. So you now have a much more detailed display of weapon/skill/visual ranges.
Thanks a lot to our community member frankycl for setting the colors and shapes here, great work.
If you had already started the early adopter branch chances are that you first have to delete the old color scheme (in [Documents]\Linked Dimensions \TOEC Remastered\colors.xml) in order to see the new colors.

You can also change these settings and some control keys now yourself, as we added a lot of new settings to the options menu.

So as always here is a list of all the changes we've made

Levels

Units
- Added B24 Liberator
- Increased visual range of PBY Catalina
- Decreased bomb damage for Flying Fortress and Liberator, added more bombs for both
