GAMEPAD CONTROLS (Based on controller Xbox 360 Wired)
This is really my first experience with gamepad (as developer and even as gamer), so I'll need advices during development
Note, that currently only Action mode supports controller. Supports for other modes is still in development.
New building: SCANNING PLATFORM
Scanning Platform is an airborne radar picket system designed to detect enemy troops at long ranges. This structure provides several advantages: - Unhides all the enemy troops around the map. - Increases by 30% the distance for Orbital Strikes. - Increases range of some weapons. - Perhaps in the future this building will be endowed with additional functions. Each team can have only one Scanning Platform for use.
New building: WATCHTOWER
(Alien analogue of Scanning Platform)
FULL LIST OF RECENT CHANGES:
V 1.35 (28 Sep 2015) - New buildings: Scanning platform, Watchtower - Smooth zoom for strategy camera - Now difficulty level affect on maximum health and maximum energy level - Improved gamepad controls - Balance changes and bug fixes
V 1.33 (6 Sep 2015) - Controller support for all Combat Avatars in the Action mode. Now you can check it even without beta access. Note, that other modes not supports controller yet. - Improved AI for enemy Combat Avatars: Now enemy Combat Avatars will retreat every time when <30% of their health left. Some kinds of Avatars can attack in movement during retreating. Corsair and Archangel will fly away. Then, if hit points still <50% and there is no enemy near - Avatar will go to the ARK for instant repair. If enemy is near - Avatar will attack it as soon as at least 30% of hit points will be restored. Also, they sometimes retreat for a short time if all they weapons reloading or if energy low. - Starting states: No more pre-built buildings in the single player missions ‘Deep diving’ and ‘Fire in jungle’. Instead, you get a small army at the start. ‘Grounded ARK’ is now default starting state for skirmish matches and ‘Quick play’ mode. (I hope that these changes will stimulate new players to use RTS mode more.) - Bug fixes and balance changes.
