0.82 Test Versions(Update 3 compatible)

[Fistalis]

Note this is just a release of what I have at the moment, primarily some economic fixes, a few updates and some fixes. This is NOT the final 0.82. This is just so people can play with the update 3 fixes in a semi functional modern world. The UI changes will not be included in this test because I still have to redo them, as well as I'm still making economic fixes, still need to fix some leaders and add some new factions. This is just so ppl who prefer the modern world scenario aren't stuck with the cold war period while I'm working on the full update. I'll try to update this each time I create a new test version for myself until the final 0.82 is released. This means that some of these beta releases are likely to be totally broken if i've botched something.

Changelog as of this version.

• Updated Myanamars flag
  
• Updated Serbias flag
  
• China Is now the Red Sphere Leader
  
• Redid Governement types based on the Stats on Totalitarianists and Freedom Under democracy index
  
• Database update- Starting GDP for countries should be much closer to reality. Most should be spot on for 2011 IMF PPP but a few are slightly off due to relying on regional stats.
  
• Oceanic Complexes now function as ports. This enables units to Embark from them preventing Units from Getting stuck on them (May no longer be needed but I haven't tested update 3 much)
  
• Reduced the Amount of Military Personnel used by Military Fabrication facilities
  
• Military Fabrication facilities can now be built on any Complex type
  
• Merchant marines are almost undetectable. This is to help the AI since it has a bad habit of sending waves of them to their death. (Also.. lets be honest here in most cases you can't tell what a ship is carrying at a glance so how can someone single these ships out for attack?)
  
• DataBase update. Nations starting Available Military personnel should be nearer to current figures.
  
• Some leader Fixes
  
• Fixed Argentinas OOB
  
• Ghaddafi should no longer raise from the dead to lead some nations after they have leader changes
  
• Adjusted sphere leanings of some nations.
  
• Started major economic overhaul, still not complete. Note that BG reimplemented the effects of Unemployment and inflation so if you see prices/costs of goods going crazy check your inflation.
  
• Includes My new textures to differentiate armies.
  
• Removed excluded volatility. Will include a separate scenario in 8.2 with it.
  

Known Issues

• South Sudan is missing its flag
  
• Haven't added compatibility with the suez canal zone changes.

Next test version caching now.
Changes from last version:

• Added Free syrian Army, still working on properly having forces represented
  
• Fixed south Sudan flag issue
  
• Fixed suez canal issue
  

Known Issues:

• South sudan flag still borked
  
• Not really an known issue since I knew it was going to happen, but The Free Syrian Army falls in a day or 2, the 100 or so guerrilla units I gave them were wiped out during staging. They engine doesn't handle Insurgent warfare very well, not sure what I can do unless I fudge the numbers and pretend the FSA has 300k or more troops. Even the FSA itself has stated it doesn't have the forces to actually occupy any land.

Next Test Version up
Changes from previous version:
UI changes have been redone to work with BGs new UI changes.
Top Importer/exporters and Top producers/consumers Menus Moved and totally revamped. These menus can now be found next to market price in the production menu.



No data changes or new cache so this update is compatible with save games, and the known issue list stays the same.

probably the last test version this week.
Changes from last version:

• All leader changes done.
  
• Redid Most leader portraits in an attempt to give them a unified styling. Let me know what you think. Some turned out far better than others but I wasted enough time with it for now.
  
  I will revisit the ones that didn't turn out well later as well as do the ones I missed, some I'll have to find a different picture to use since my methods for styling them just wont work with some pics. Also some may be off center I'll fix that before final release if I notice them.
  
  This will be an ongoing process until 1.0
  
  
• Slightly reduced tensions between Koreas, Not sure if its where I want it yet but thats what this test version is for
  
• FSA now Gets all the troops back they lose in staging, Buying them another few days before they fall.
  
• Found and fixed the issue with the south Sudan flag

This MAY be the last test version if it runs like it should.
Gonna give it a few play throughs, tweak as needed and try to release the end result as 0.82 by wednesday.

Changelog From last test version.

• Relations Tweaks - Too many to name 1 by 1 but there is always more of these to do.
  
• Removed Old events that are no longer needed freeing Up the AI have more autonomy with battlezone/Theatre settings
  
• Few more Leader fixes
  
• Few more leader Art fixes
  
• Added new AI events- These aren't stuff you'll see with news messages, primarily setting the Minister priorities for the AI, for example the U.S. should concentrate on paying off its debt for awhile. Not for sure if George ever fixed these events but only one way to find out.
  
• , Made some old events more random, Should be be random enough that you may or may not see them during each game.
  

If anyone has the time and wants we can run a test game in multiplayer sometime on tuesday so i can get instant feedback. Just start a thread for it.

0.82 development is over. I'll start a new thread when I begin getting into developing 0.83 which will be after I update the rest of my mods to be update 3 compatible.
