Battle for Westfront *WW2 Era in Early Period of War*

[MLShax]

when will it be out this weekend?

[Kanzil]

He's already said that they're only the very first drafts, and will change a lot. It'll take at least a month to balance them and perfect the sprites. He's also said he's going to do a few other factions, which will also take some time. I doubt the era will be out this weekend, it would be absurd to expect that from him.

[Ruglud]

I couldn't have said it any better, Kanzil. But its only nearly right.
I will release the first ALPHA Version for 2 or 3 people. From these persons I expect some feedback about the playability, bugs and suggestions for new content or changes!
Who wants to help and report his meaning, bugs and impressions to me, write a PM.



NEWS:
- new portraits for all units!
- 14 new sounds (rifles, Tanks, explosions, Artillery) bring the 2. World War to Battle for Wesnoth.
- Balancing: the costs of the most polish units increased by 1


Kind regards.

oh, i didnt see the thing about "chosen few" sorry ruglud

[MLShax]

I just noticed this, but on the Uhlan and wz. 31 mortar, there are dots off to the right side, just to let you know...

[Ruglud]

No worries!

And thank you for your hint, I will change this.

edit: Both dots removed.

Important for the Alphatesters:

The game is totaly changed from the original game! Dont compare it with other mods. Biggest changes in a little overview:
- only two kinds of resistence: impact and pierce. (Tankguns uses impact, Machineguns and rifles uses pierce)
- The units cant upgrade
- HPs like 50 for tanks are normal and for a reason!

Why are there no upgrades?

Is it on the addons server? Cause I'd be happy to try it out.

- Balancing: the costs of the most polish units increased by a factor of 1

Just a language note — "increased by a factor of 1" means you multiplied the cost by 1, which means it wasn't changed. (I'm assuming you just meant "increased by 1", which implies addition.) Generally speaking, the word "factor" implies multiplication or division.

I released only a alpha Version for 5 guys to find bugs etc. If you want to help, play the game and report me all your impressions, write me a PM.





@Celtic_Minstrel:
Thank you very much... I will change it. If you find more misspelling, pls let me know.

Era looks very nice, but it will be more factions?
In these fractions, which are now missing my Air Force and Navy ...

Thank you! Yes, there will be more factions and units in the near future.

[Sagez]

Good job so far ; when we can expect the first finnish units? or the french ones? How is the progress going?

[Ruglud]

Thank you Sagez!

Im actually working on the patch 0.1.1 and release it today.
Patchlog:
- shooting animations added: Leutnant, Krad, Schütze, Sturmsoldat, Porucznik, polish infantry, Uhlan
- better and bigger descriptions for nearly all units, especially the polish ones.

After this patch, I will start work on the next faction. This faction will be France. The french will use many tanks, for example the heavy Somua S-35.
