Hello everyone. Here is the first large content update for UEBS2. We put a great deal of hard work to get this to you in just over 2 weeks of development time.
A bonus feature in this update is the new order in the battle menu called 'Guard'. Guard can be really useful for many situations. During guard mode, units will hold ground until they are under threat, once they determine this, they will go into full attack mode and even pursue the enemy. During guard mode, a frenzy will cause other AI in guard mode to join the fight, and finally when all threats are gone, they will go back to guarding. It's worth noting that AI must visibly see any enemy to be alerted, this is also useful for setting up your own interesting scenarios like shooter mini games where AI behave close to a typical NPC. Tip: Try spawning a bunch of zombies spread out set to 'guard' in City Of Troy, then play/possess a 'Action Man' to take them out as a hero in your own mini game!
