Released December 13, 2005

Update Highlights

  • Tactical Overlay: The Tactical Overlay is a grid of colored blocks on the continent map that can be used to monitor friendly troop deployment, detect enemy forces, and visualize the flow of battle. All players have access to this tactical data, regardless of battle or command rank.
  • New command added: To view the tactical data, click on the Tactical toggle on the continent map, or press the A key.
  • Head Gear Enhancements: adding glasses and communication device options.
  • New commands added:
    • /shades command to toggle sunglasses! (Battle Rank 24 required and must not have helmet shown)

Vehicle Improvements

  • Vehicle Timer Reduction - Reduced Purchase Timers from 6 to 2 minutes for the Basilisk, Wraith, Marauder, Harasser, Enforcer, and Thresher.
  • Increased Armor - Increased armor on the Fury, Basilisk and Wraith
  • Critical Health Changes - Changed the critical health value for all ground vehicles. This changes an affect where the vehicle would be rendered useless when it has just a few health points left forcing the player to eject. This now allows the player to either eject or try to limp away from the battle. Choice will be to the player.
