I really like it.
I like the fact that after you finish deploying it moves you automatically to attack mode.
However I was in Big Europe map and when I was trying to make attacks it kept bringing up the card dialog box. I guess it just needs a little fine tuning, but I like how much faster everything is.

The big maps get bogged down on the Flash version esp when you get near the end. I didn't see any hesitation at all playing my big maps.
I cant wait till its all finished.

Amazing difference! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

With Unity, Farah can now play on maps larger than ROR! Yay!

@Fizzer: Suggestion that has nothing to do with the actual game. As more bugs begin to crop up, perhaps splitting the changelogs into [Updates] and [BugFixes] might be a good formatting idea. Completely unimportant change tho. Tried the unity player, adore the visuals. I'd like a few of the settings to show up in the unity player, whether that's the settings pane in unity or unity translating the preferences from the flash version. (e.g.: I'd like the slider to always show up.)

Thanks so much, keep up the good work!

Sorry, I haven't followed the details. Since someone posted that the Unity version of the Cowzow AI actually plays sound I'm wondering to which extent some competitive AI play can now get supported.

I'd like the slider to always show up.

The deployment slider always shows up in the Unity client except for in the tutorial and in level 1, where it doesn't show up at all. The rest of your settings should translate from the Flash version already.

A new version is out! Here's the changelog:


3.17.3.12 2017-03-10:
- Changed the way cards are shown in the upper left and in the card's dialog when browsing history. It now shows you cards that you had at that point in the game. The "Cards" button in the upper right now says "Opponent's cards" again, as it's only use is for seeing opponent's cards instead of viewing your own cards in history.
- Changed the default FPS cap from infinite to 60. This fixes high CPU usage on the app. This can be configured in the debug menu. Thanks to Muli and TBest for reporting this.
- Changed the default anti-aliasing from 2x to 8x to make the app less pixelated. This can be configured in the debug menu. Thanks to Adam for reporting this.
- The card preview section's click radius now hugs the size of the cards instead of the area to the right of the cards. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the vote-to-end dialog so text does not get cut off. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the "No cards" label in the Cards dialog so the text does not get cut off. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the metrics in the graphs section so the radio button does not get cut off. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that made the clock hover not work reliably. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed the radio buttons so that they circles are always the same size. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed the single player balloons so they don't always overlap other dialogs, except during tutorial.
- Fixed a bug that caused the autopilot menu to stay open when hiding the autopilot button. However, leave it open for about a second so people mad-clicking the autopilot button in singleplayer can click it that one final time to skip the turn. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused map visuals and other things to leak memory. Thanks to muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused the background to cover the map when launching map preview. Thanks to njittam for reporting.
- Fixed a bug that caused errors if you selected a bonus in map preview and then closed map preview. Thanks to njittam for reporting.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when viewing player's speed. Thanks to muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug during the tutorial that made the orders list nearly impossible to click while the arrow was pointing at it.



Here's how the anti-aliasing change affects the map, if you blow them up to be large:

A new version is out! Here's what's changed:

- Alert messages now scroll if they contain lots of text.
- Added a little padding around the edges of the lobby.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when viewing player's speed. Thanks to muli for reporting this.

Mods are next in his immediate roadmap (taking priority even over a game browser, which kinda bothers me a bit :P) which is going to mean actual diplos with proper ruling will be possible.

(taking priority even over a game browser, which kinda bothers me a bit :P)

One reason why a games browser is a lower priority is that we will also soon have a WebGL version of the Unity app. In the WebGL version, you will be able to use the Unity app on the website in place of the Flash app.

Therefore, for WebGL, a games browser isn't needed since you can use the website to select the game. There are just some bugs making the WebGL port right now so it's waiting for the next version of Unity to come out which should fix the bugs.

We also want to get the mod framework out ASAP so that mod authors can start developing awesome mods, so that by the time Unity is released they'll be more developed and ready to go.

Well honestly I just want a way to have my games clickable on the unity client so I don't have to open up the browser, but instead open up the unity app immediately everytime ^^

Take your time though, I'm in no rush :P`I'm also hyped for mods, so whatever comes up I'll be happy.
