Build EA7

Greetings esteemed CEOs! We have put a great deal of work in listening to your concerns and updating our game "big time", so try it and enjoy it!

  • The minimap now displays the efficiency ratings of the oilfield when needed (for 5 seconds after a test drilling is done, and while building placement is active)
  • Contracts are now sortable
  • Added 6 new scenarios, 3 easy (Talk is not enough, Dreaming of new oil, Power center), 2 medium (Family bonds, Ice age), one hard (Capitalist)
  • Added 5 new HQ buildings (2x construction time, 2x construction cost, 1x market opinion)
  • Regions now give different boni and mali
  • Region window on the world map reworked to display region differences
  • The unit detail screen now displays tooltips with detailed information how a specific value is calculated
  • Game speeds (normal and fast) are now configurable in the settings, to make fast go *really* fast
  • Included settings for Fullscreen AA, VSync and frame limiting
  • Rebalancing of buildings for correct cost per capacity and TCO24 progression
  • Improved contract help texts
  • Fixed steam cloud saves, they are now operational as intended
  • Oilfields now can only have one "big" obstacle at the most
  • Expand oilfield/headquarter should now have correct filters
  • Fixed Settings screen in the main menu, now fully operational
  • Fixed shifted minimap, it should now always be in the correct place
  • Fixed contract prices, they should now be in the range of 60% to 110% (depending on contract level) of the oil price current when the contract was created
  • Fixed scenario state screen for games without any goals
  • Fixed headquarter quality setting problems
  • Fixed automatic region licence grant for starting region
  • Added 5 new (small) obstacles
  • The random generator for contracts now ensures that there is always at least one contract of every level available
  • Fixed some wrong user interface overlays
  • Fixed a bug of maintenance, autorepair should now work as intended

Another big step towards a stable and fun version of the game!

Coming up next:

  • Extended and reworked tutorial to give you a better start (fetched my wife as guinea pig ;))
  • (a lot) more Special Events with a visually improved message box

Still can't wait to hear from you ;).
