Seven Years War: Releases End of October

[magnus]

Dear Mister KM, have the sales been enough to see a " War of the Austrian succession DLC?

I am a fanboy of de Saxe.

[JasonPratt]

Well, I helped add to those sales this afternoon, so...  O0

(Although I'm happy with the  7yearwar, thx.  )

[bbmike]

On sale at Steam right now. I have no more excuses. Bought!

[JasonPratt]

I actually made a point of buying BEFORE the sale. Because I am that willing to support a 7YW campaign game.

(Though I suppose technically Creative Assembly already did that with Empire: Total War...)

[tgb]

Sorry.  $3 isn't enough to get me off the fence.

I lied. I decided to get it after all - downloading now.

Finally the fonts get fixed? Cool. I'll have to spend some time with this today.

Still a bit squished IMHO. The dev is trying hard. and open to suggestions.

Definitely give this a look  O0

One thing I found really helps the fonts is setting the game to your native resolution.  It made a huge difference.

[amandachen]

Eh, the tooltips are still tiny. Has the developer even seen his own game? Sod this for a game of soldiers.

Update to version 1.091
25 December

Game enhancements:
- at close distance to enemy the regimental commander takes over command (faster order execution but higher chance of uncoordinated orders)

Game balance:
- limited diplomatic payments (claims) to the maximum available diplomacy points
- increased cost/earnings of subsidy payments

Fixed bugs:
- fixed incorrect display of unit icon infos in battles (sometimes shown as pixel boxes)
- fixed crash when opening unit hierarchy of divisions in city view

Layout:
- updated font type and sharpness

The fonts are a lot better. Still room for improvement in font selection IMHO. Good support from the Dev  O0

[Gusington]

^Excellent support! Once Steam is back to normal I will pick this up.

[keppelmueller]

Puhhh - the font thing was harder to fix as it sounds. I think the problem here is/was to set the correct font for each resolution. Just post further ideas if it still not fits...
Happy holidays!
