War on the Sea Update Patch Notes
Two new major features added:
- Smoke Screens – Player and AI ships may now lay smoke screens.
- Campaign endings/flow modifications – Sinking many enemy ships now opens sea lanes, enabling an increased rate of resource replenishment as long as they remain open. Campaign flow and win conditions can be configured in the campaign setup.txt files as outlined below.
Allgemein
- Added Lay Smoke toggle to Orders panel (viewable only for Sea units that are not submarine)
- Lays or ceases smoke for all selected Sea units
- A ship laying smoke itself or looking at a target laying smoke is always considered to be viewing through smoke
- Viewing through smoke applies “tmaShipSmokingPenalty”:0.2
- AI applies smoke when retreating if player Sea units are present
Kampagne
Multiple new campaign endings or modifications now available:
- winEnemyShipsSunk:0, winEnemyShipSunkSupplyIncrease:ANY VALUE
- All outlined objectives must be achieved.
- winEnemyShipsSunk:100, winEnemyShipSunkSupplyIncrease:1
- Campaign will END with the overpower.txt event when player sinks 100 ships more than the enemy has sunk (as long as winEnemyShipSunkSupplyIncrease <= 1)
- winEnemyShipsSunk:100, winEnemyShipSunkSupplyIncrease:3 (DEFAULT)
-
- Upon reaching the criteria outlined in #2 Oben, sea lanes will be opened allowing player resource replenish rate to be increased by winEnemyShipSunkSupplyIncrease (if value <= 1 and winEnemyShipsSunk > 0 dann #2 applies).
- Sea lanes can become contested again based on the #2 calculation causing the resource to replenish rate to fall back to 1x. Sea lanes may be reopened.
