Codex of Victory Changelog 1.0.2


(Changes since 1.0.1)
Multiplayer

  • Fixed the Big Bad Annoying Bug in multiplayer concerning the Taunt ability. That could lead to nasty desyncs. Now it's gone for good.
  • Fixed a problem when a player for some reason could not create a multiplayer game and the game hanged on.
  • Changed the MP protocol version (1.0.2 is not compatible with earlier patches in MP)

Fixes and Improvements

  • The ‘Survive’ mission (about Teya’s and Preon’s heroics) is fixed and it’s difficulty is tuned down. Added some signal smokes and impassable hexes at the dropship landzone.
  • Now the Unit’s ‘AP-weight’ in Hangar doesn’t include the AP added by modules. To better illustrate this the icon of AP is changed to ‘jeep’ in some panels and hints.
  • Fixed an error when a player could enter his Base screen when he shouldn’t (in the endgame sequence).
  • Fixed some minor localization issues.
  • Minor improvements in message windows (GUI).

Chinese localization

  • Solved all known GUI problems with Chinese localization. All texts should be readable at least.

Change List



Big Changes
• Levels of difficulty. Now at any point in the campaign you may change the difficulty level of the game from the settings menu. NORMAL is easier than previous experience, HARD is slightly harder.
• Quests. Now there is a “Quests” window in tactical battles that shows the status of your current tasks.
• New heroes and hero upgrades. In the second Act new heroes will come to aid your cause and you will be able to upgrade them.
• New Enemies. Be prepared to face new enemy battle mechs. You better spread wide your troops not to be damaged by Augment Shocker’s Chain-lightning, that grows in power with each damaged vehicle. Keep an eye on Augment Snipers, Flyers and Supporters as well.
• New planet. Yes – we opened Kali for battles, and it is your responsibility to free it from aggressors.
• Lot of new missions. Now in the second Act you have lot of strategic choice where to fly and fight, as you will be faced with LOTS of missions available simultaneously (and even more spawning with time).
• Access to the new troops. In the course of the action you will be able to build and upgrade more types of troops to support your preferred tactics.
• New modules. Yes, we are adding new and better modules to improve and alter your troops. But some of them will need parts that only could be salvaged from enemies.
• Important! When you try to load the old save from the second Act, your progress will be set to the beginning of the second Act (right after the Baron Boarov death) because missions, story and rewards were changed a lot. You will keep all your troops and upgrades intact.
