Hex of Steel

CHANGES Reworked flamethrower tanks stats (nerfed). Modded units are now excluded from the naming auto-update on scenario opening (fix for modders that got some of their units renamed by the game on scenario opening, only one case I’m aware of). ‘Low health’ unit notification were not destroyed when a ‘unit was destroyed’ notification takes over (to reduce notifications clutter). FIXES Playing a PBEM game/turn before using the random scenario generator or the scenario editor would lead to PBEM data leaking into the newly generated scenario and making it impossible to edit it in the scenario editor because it was considered a PBEM game. Unit purchase limit shown in store was displayed beneath the unit representation image and could be hidden by it if the unit image was large enough to cover it. Upkeep value calculated was wrong for tanks/artillery units in transport ships/planes (they counted as ships and used ship upkeep value instead of their own). Adding/removing a loadout on a unit through the upgrade/downgrade menu could be used to get free supplies (an upgrade/downgrade action reset the ammo/fuel amount on the unit free of charge). AA units attacking nearby land units were not

FIXED Historical accuracy issues in the Europe 1940 standalone scenario. Historical accuracy issues in the Battle of Anzio standalone scenario.

FIXES Buildings could be upgraded in the reserve and trigger an infinite money exploit through there. Buildings (factories, refineries, airfields etc) could be built on rivers (where there was a bridge). One rare and super specific occurence of AI game lag (several seconds) in a very specific case: In a very specific case, you could be prompted with the overrun confirmation window during the AI’s turn. If you had the ‘All Weather’ policy and had the ‘plane can move one extra tile after attack’ optional setting and your plane started above an enemy unit and you attacked that unit, your plane would not be allowed to move more than a single tile. Some AI controlled nations would not perform landings when historical focus was ON in custom scenarios. Mobile users: the amount of available units in the reserve would not display more than 2 characters, instead of 100+, it would display 10. Mobile users: One more attempt to prevent auto overrun on attack.

ADDED Players blacklist (bans) is now automatically fetched from the servers in real time to refresh the chat instead of being baked into the game files and requiring a game update to update the ban player list. CHANGES Improved localization quality for Simplified Chinese. Europe 1941 units in villages have been replaced by garrisons. Europe 1942 units in villages have been replaced by garrisons. Europe 1943 units in villages have been replaced by garrisons. AI ships will now move and target low damage potential land target if there is nothing else for them to do (they would stay idle before). FIXES Localization entries missing. Secondary/Major victory point could go out of sync from regular victory points in the map editor when setting the points (really rarely, and that would create freeze during the game so it would not go unnoticed. Did not happen on base game scenarios). Custom campaign scenarios could have issues when finishing the first and second scenarios of the tree and would fail to load more. Not all diplomatic options were disabled in campaign scenarios. AI ships should no longer move into harbour tiles (if that were still the case, please send me the autosave file fro
