was just wondering if we could possibly get a progress report on how the beta testing is going. I'm a firm believer in the "it's ready when it's ready" idea, which is why i'm not asking for a release date.

The Beta is going well, but - as expected - the AI needs further tweaking in order to be on the level we want it to be. It's still too passive as of yet. So I expect another few Beta releases before we get it right, and we can move on to fully testing the other areas. So we're far from a general release at this moment, but that hardly comes as a surprise. These things need time, given the changes we made...ccruler said:
Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. I would like if you or other individuals involved with the mod give us progress reports such as this every week or couple of weeks though, it gives us (the people who are not blessed with trying the new version of this mod yet) an idea of issues the testers are running into, progress on fixing such issues etc. I know this question is probably asking too much, but any chance of details as to what's been added in and the major changes?
New AI, changes to the economy (again), new naval/naval doctrine tech trees and a bucketload of new graphics to name but a few.
Do you know if South American nations are enhaced too?
I mean, I tend to play almost every time as Argentina, tough sometimes I try Germany to see how major powers are tweaked.

Depends what you mean by enhanced, I guess ! Was there anything in particular you had in mind ??

I'd have been interested into helping the beta testing process but it seems it's *empty*. :wacko:
"empty" ?? Full, might be more accurate - we did a call for Beta testers a little while back, and there is currently a (short) waiting list, IIRC.

New leaders, ministers, units, events, changes in IC or resources... I mean, I'm wondering whether I'm gonna find anything different around South America or not
Sorry i meant full.
I wasn't here when you called for beta testers and now there's no place available.
Too bad.

Well, there are changes to resources & IC across the globe, including S America. Not too much else changed for S America right now, though there are some possible ideas kicking around - just needs some time when not Beta testing, etc to finalise the ideas and get them coded up.
Depending on how much you have played CORE before, the units may or may not look that familiar to you.

Well, if you popped over to our forums at terranova.dk, then you could still sign up for the waiting list - it only has 3 people last I looked, and we have already called up 2 "reserves" to replace people who have gone inactive for whatever reason.

Okay, i will leave a message there.
My problem is i only have 2 weeks at home behind me. Though i could test a lot in 2 weeks, i don't know how long i'll have to wait in the waiting list.
Anyway, i hope i'll be able to help.
Cya there.

so here i am, returning to the boards after half a year.. and apparently no major progress on the modding scene.
i really like the idea of HoI, but every mod (and especially vanilla) was missing something in my opinion.. couldn't play a single game to its end, still waiting for the mod of all mods to finally *start* playing HoI like everyone else does.
but glad to see the modding community is still vivid and active. i'm one of these guys who wouldn't buy most games anymore if it wasn't for the free, excellent mods.

Well, like everyone else we're doing this in our spare time... So these things take time, basically.
no offense intended! this is not the first mod i had to wait for, so i know the drill.Hagar said:Well, like everyone else we're doing this in our spare time... So these things take time, basically.
Thanks for the hard work, I look forward to exploring the the fruits of the CORE team's hard labors!
