Armoured Commander II

Update 1.2.7

1.2.7 Changelog



ADD: New units from YARD and cjprince - a collection of additions from two prolific modders, adding new units and minor changes to some existing units
FIX: Keyboard command not working in Crew Aswsignment menu

Update 1.2.6
This is an exciting update since it adds the first controller support to the game - I still want to add a few more Quality of Life features to help support this, but at least the game should be easier to run on the Steam Deck! Full changelog follows:

1.2.6 Changelog



ADD: Game controller support
ADD: New tutorial slide regarding game controller input

CNG: Config file now stored in user directory
CNG: Increased minimum Unbog chance

FIX: Crash in Unit Gallery when no units meet filters and Campaign Roster is selected

Update 1.2.5 Hotfix
Just a minor hotfix to address a crash, and to add a sanity check to the filtered list in the unit gallery when no unit types are being displayed.

Update 1.2.5
ADD: Weapon definitions can now include a special_ammo_regional tag: a dictionary of regions, ammo types, and rarity calendars; any ammo type found within the region of the current campaign will override the standard rarity calendar for that ammo type

FIX: 'Campaign Day Random Event!' message no longer added to day log
FIX: New colours for some ammo types to improve visual distinction
