Lancement et patch pour Making History II

Le bêta-test de Making history II a fermé ses portes le 22 juin dernier pour faire place au lancement officiel du wargame de Muzzy Lane. Définis comme un jeu de « grande  stratégie » Making history II propose de simuler les grandes batailles de la Seconde Guerre avec la possibilité d’en modifier l’issue et ainsi façonner leur propre uchronie.

Disponible en version dématérialisée via Amazon, le jeu s’accompagne pour l’occasion d’une mise à jour corrigeant nombres de bugs et améliorant certains points au niveau de la technique et de l’IA. Nous vous proposons le détail de ce patch 1.0.6 directement à la suite de cette brève.
