This week we are releasing a preview version of our forthcoming Ireland map. This map is planned as a new starter mission and will go in at the start of the game when it's fully complete. It is still very much a work in progress so it's included for preview purposes only.

On a technical front we have introduced post processing effect layers to compliment new lighting setups that will allow variations in time of day in future maps.The options screen has new options to control these new post processing effects including Bloom and Ambient Occlusion which should significantly improve visuals for most players.
This update has laid the groundwork for visual improvements to the other maps.

Original postThis week's update introduces a big change to the core game - asymmetric damage.
Broadly speaking units are now divided up into different armor classes:
- unarmoured
- light
- medium
- heavy
- super heavy
Weapon effectiveness has been adjusted for each unit but generally heavier armour requires larger caliber weaponry to defeat it.
For example small arms fire is now dramatically less effective against heavier armor types than before.
RPGs are effective against heavy armor but are now less effective against agile infantry and special forces.
MG towers are now much less effective against heavy armor.
AA towers are now more effective against F16s and B2 but are now less effective against armored helicopters.
Looking forward to feedback on the new balancing - particularly if anyone thinks any particular unit needs adjustment in future builds.
