No Place for the Dissident
v1.3 Country grouping preview and more!
Country grouping was a feature requested by multiple players to control multiple countries at the same time. Of course, this has many subtle details and consequences that change the game's balance. Therefore, this update will bring the option to enable Country Grouping when creating a new single-player game, if left unchecked the gameplay will be the same as before.
When country grouping is enabled you have the option to select the entire World or a hand-picked selection of countries. To make it easier to switch between groups, you can assign a number to your current group by pressing CTRL+NUMBER. You can go back to a group by directly pressing NUMBER. There is also a menu on the top right corner of the screen.
I'd love to hear your feedback about this new feature!
Here is a complete list of the changes:
General:
- Added experimental country grouping
UI:
- Improve the superposition of menus.
- Fix ending rank on lost games.
Translation:
- Improve censorship counsel, default ideology name, and ending rank.
Thank you!.
v1.2.0 with UI and tutorial improvements
One of the most interesting features is that now when you win a game, you'll get the world rank of your score compared to every other score made at that level by all the players of No Place for the Dissident. Although this feature is new (before you could only get a comparison between your best game on difficult on the stats menu), we have been keeping track of the necessary data from day zero, so the comparison will reflect every game result from launch.
Here is a complete list of the changes:
Tutorial improvements:
- civil war popup only with medium/long civil wars
- civil war popup with country name
- better timing for censorship popup
UI improvements:
- show world rank on ending
- starting popup
- keep timing panel on politic tree
- action tooltip fix on low-res displays
- action panel with civil wars
- show shortcut info on timing panel
- prevent "Space" from clicking on buttons
- fix social traits hover tooltip
- add score tooltip on ending
Others:
- translation improvements: shortcuts, ending panel, country info panel
- change default ideology name
- add score explanation on glossary
- improve censorship definition
As always, thank you for all the feedback, these improvements have been clearly guided by you.
Welcome Saved Games on v1.1.0!
I've just add the ability to save and load games on singleplayer mode. There are three slots and each slot will be named automatically with the current time. A "smart" continue button will be present on the main menu when you have saved games that were never finished later. Keep in mind, though, that there is no autosave, you'll have to manually save the games from the pause menu (press ESC to access it during the game).
It's a minor addition, but it was something requested by players that clearly only made the game better. I'll keep listening your feedback so we can push No Place for the Dissident to the next level.
Thank you!
