-Updated to BUG Mod 3.6.

-Updated to Wolfshanze 2.85. I have intentionally left out the water planes and the UAV. Movies and sounds are now supported, but optional. Read the installation instructions below!
-Updated to BetterAI 0.41 (except for the aircombat model, as I use a custom model).

-Latest version of Inquisition by OrionVeteran included (101E).

New in 0.83:
- New units: Close Air Support Bomber, Advanced Jet Fighter, Stealth Fighter. The Jet fighter in-game represents 3rd generation fighters, like the Mig-21, the F4 and F5 and others. Graphically, most of these are represented by the existing units from Wolf's mod. The Advanced Jet Fighter is 4.5 generation fighters, i.e. what most countries use today. F-15, F-16, Mig-29, the Eurofighter and Su-27 represent these.
- New Technology: Jet Propulsion. Introduced to allow for a longer progression of air units. Air units now transition from biplanes->propeller planes->jet aircraft. For the fighters, this means that it's Early Flyer -> Early Fighter -> Fighter -> Jet Fighter -> Advanced Jet Fighter. For bombers, it's Early Bomber -> Bomber -> Jet Bomber. The Light Bomber can upgrade to either Jet Fighter or Close Air Support Bomber. Check out the tech tree in-game. Nothing can upgrade to either the Stealth Bomber or Stealth Fighter. You need to build these units from scratch!
- The air units have been grouped into Jet Aircraft and simply Air Units.
Most of the graphics of the above two points are from the Modern Warfare Mod! Thanks to Snafusmith and others who contributed.
- New Air Combat routine to better handle all the new units. It's pretty advanced. Suffice to say that the combat results are realistic, while still keeping to the spirit of the game.
Read more below!
- Introduced the extra sea damage from air units from the Air Forces mod. This is to add greater variety to the air units. Air units with iAirCombatLimit of 70 and above will be lethal to ships, while keeping the limit of 70 against other targets.
- Randomized Invisibility by NP300. This one is totally awesome! Units that can see invisible units has a chance to spot, and it's not 100%. Some XML variables in the GlobalDefinesAlt have been introduced to control this. Also, there are now two different kinds of invisibility for subs, so that nuclear powered subs are more stealthy.
- Culturally Linked Starts by Jean Elcard. It's an option for custom games at the bottom of the options panel. Civ's with similar historical starting locations will begin the game near each other, but not in a predictable direction from you.
- Now supports Wolfshanze 2.84, except movies and sounds (to keep download below CF's 10 MB limit). I have intentionally left out the water planes and the UAV.
- Integrated Better AI 0.37, which also includes Solver's 0.19 Unofficial Patch.
- Supports up to 40 civ games by default.
New in 0.80:
-Now supports Beyond the Sword 3.17.
-Now supports Wolfshanze 2.83, except movies and sounds (to keep download below CF's 10 MB limit). I have intentionally left out the water planes and the UAV.
-Now supports Dale's Combat Mod 1.7.
-Integrated Better AI 0.36, which also includes Solver's 0.19 Unofficial Patch.
-The Barbarian ships have been removed, as 3.17 does a fine job of this on it's own.
-Supports 36 civ games by default.
-Giant Earth Map (GEM) by Armandeus, based on Genghis Kai's map. It a real beauty!!!
New in 0.74:
-Now supports Wolfshanze 2.73, except movies and sounds.
-Updated with Bhruic's Unofficial Patch, 1.21.
-Includes a new interception routine for the AA unit. It will now damage incoming aircraft, but cannot turn them away. The new interception routine also affects normal aircraft, so XML values have been adjusted to compensate. Biplanes can no longer intercept jet bombers! Please provide feedback!
-Includes four "new" barbarian naval units. You will now actually see barbarian ships spawn in the oceans! This is purely an XML modded feature, and please provide feedback!
-Killed two different crashbugs.
New in 0.60:
-Now supports Wolfshanze 2.69 graphics, including three new leaders.
-Updated with DCM 1.5, including the revised Manhattan Project.
-Added
Influence Driven War by moctezuma. When winning combats, pillaging or taking cities, your culture will spread to the plots involved with each victory. It is thus possible to win territory, without actually taking cities! I have left out the city resistance part, since I already have the Partisan Mod, which I prefer. Please note that none of the special combat features of DCM give this culture bonus, ONLY regular land attacks, pillaging and conquering cities give this bonus. Please note: Combined Arms Stack Attack does NOT give this bonus. I haven't figured out how to merge those two functions...
-Added
Specialist Stacker by Johny.
-Tweaked the population reduction effects from Dale's Air Bombing. The population cannot be bombed below 6.
-Added support for 34 civs by popular demand.
New in 0.51:
-Now supports Wolfshanze 2.68
-Added the
Pirates Mod. The few barbarian ships that DO spawn, will now hold some land units which will land and plunder. Also, this feature will hopefully be used in later events.
-Added the
Inquisition Mod (without Limited Religions). You can now remove all non-state religions from your cities.
-Tweaked the AA-unit. Base interception is now 15%, and the units are immobile (zero movement).
-Modified the population reduction effects from Dale's Air Bombing. The population cannot be bombed below 8.
-Added the REDUCED_MAX_AIR_DAMAGE_FROM_PLOT from the
Air Forces Mod from Gedemon/The Lopez. The change means that terrain and/or city defense is now taken into account when the max damage from air attacks is calculated. It follows this formula:
Example:
Say you are attacking a unit in the open. The defense from open terrain is zero, so there's no change. The maximum damage you can dish out is limited to the aircraft model. In Merged Mod and Wolfshanze, the Jet Fighter and Light Bombers can kill units entirely, because they have the variable iAirCombatLimit set to 100, which means the maximum damage is 100%. Now, if you're attacking a unit in a forested plain, there's a 50% defense modifier. The maximum damage you can inflict over several bombing runs is now calculated (still using the Jet Fighter as an example) as 100% - (40/100 * 50%) = 80%. So if a unit is hiding in terrain, which gives it coverage, it can no longer be wiped out by the Light Bomber or Jet Fighter! The value of 40 is a default variable, declared in GlobalDefines.xml. Most bombers have had their iAirCombatLimit values increased a little to balance this new feature.
Air missions and aircraft in Merged Mod:
New in 0.4:
-Updated to match Wolf's 2.65 (should also work with 2.66).
-Airships do not require Oil, as per the vanilla BtS.
-The airmissions from DCM become available as airunits become more advanced.
-Two new units: Anti-Aircraft Gun and Anti-Tank Gun, borrowed from the Road to War mod. They are available with Artillery and Industrialism, and do not require any resources to build. Both units are defensive, but should not be much trouble for infantry or artillery to take out. They are intended to bite back against their natural adversaries, though!
Please give feedback on these two units!
Screenshots of the two new units:
Anti Air Gun - Note that it also gains 50% against air, it's just listed below the helicopter bonus.
Anti Tank Gun
---------------------------------------------------
New in 0.31:
-Updated the MM to match Wolfshanze's 2.63. You need to download his most recent version to get the correct wolfshanze.fpk file.
---------------------------------------------------
New in 0.3:
-New DLL, which finally incorporates all of Bhruic's 1.11 changes.
-Adjusted bombardment range and accuracy for some of Wolfshanze's ships.
---------------------------------------------------
New in 0.2:
-Ranged bombardment now works, for both siege and naval units.
-All airbomb missions from DCM works.
-Fighter engage missions also works.
-The Enola Gay has been added back in. It is available with Fission and Air Superiority.
-The bugs relating to specific models from Wolfshanze's mod have been fixed.
-Archery bombardment has been made less effective (I hope).
-Horse Archers (Horsemen) cannot bombard.
This means that ALL air and siege units are somewhat less powerful than before, and combat is less predictable. If you have any balance issues, please let me know!
