Version 0.98 Release Notes

Hello fellow AW fans, we've got the most excellent update for you today!

Battle mechanics have been completely reworked. In the new system, Attack and Defence represent the maximum amount of damage you deal to the opponent. Attack and defence are now executed simultaneosly, so you're guaranteed to deal some damage in a battle. Units now have Hit points - so damage is applied directly to Hit points, and if the unit runs out of them, it gets destroyed. The remaining damage is then transferred to the next unit.

So, for example, 1 Tank (9 HP) attacks 1 Infantry (8 HP) and 1 Militia (6 HP). Tank deals 6 damage (attacking), Infantry deals 4 damage (defending). Now Tank has 5 HP left and Infantry 2 HP. Tanks now deals 3 damage and Infantry also 5. Tank dies, Infantry dies, Militia takes 1 damage, but survives to fight another day. After the battle all HP is restored for surving units.

All unit stats remained the same, plus the addition of Hit points. The balance also remained the same, meaning that the winner would most probably be the same in most battles - the difference is that the winner is now more likely to have more casualties.

ARB chance is now fixed at 30% and will not vary. All upgrades dealing with ARB chance have been refunded.

Battle phase has been reworked with more dynamic battles and the new battle list (it now shows separate units).

AW now has music, 10 awesome tracks for your enjoyment! Volume can be adjusted in personal settings.

Mods can now change options for any game.

Upgrades and strategies for Hit points, plus an awesome new secret unit will be added very soon!
