Panzer Corps 1.04
The update includes a massive list of tweaks on unit costs, stats, and even a few game rule tweaks to improve balance. Also included are a large range of new scenario design options and extended support for modders and scenario creators to enjoy, including things like the ability to enable captured units. It also includes German language support.
Here is a preview of the balance changes in v1.04 which is coming very soon. Kerensky has written up details of all the balance changes we’ve made for this patch. There are many many changes which are designed to hone the game balance and especially to make the late war combats as engaging as the early ones. This is based on extensive feedback from thousands of players. Thanks to everyone who gave us their feedback.
General changes
• Normalize Air Defense values for heavy armor of all nations to increase effectiveness of tactical bombers in Mid and Late War.
• Promote additional use of units that traditionally do not see use through stat and price balancing.
• All aircraft for all nations have received +6 Ground Defense to reduce damage taken from units such as Infantry with [1] attack value.
• All air defense units for all nations have received +7 Air Attack to compensate for the above change and improve air defense unit performance.
• All 1943 Infantry Variants for all nations have received +1 initiative to increase potency in close terrain battles.
• All anti-tank units of all nations have had a slight rule change. Instead of a -3 modifier on the offensive, this has been changed to a +3 modifier on the defensive. The net result is that Anti-tank units should perform better in terrain with initiative caps when they are on the defensive. To adjust for this change, all anti-tank units of all nations have had their initiative reduced by three.
• Soviet Aircraft have been raised to a level historically appropriate but one that is also suitable for effectively engaging the Luftwaffe.
• Infantry now retain experience bonus in close terrain.
• Increased ground defense of all Mid and Late war anti-tank units. Mid War towed ATG units increased to 7 Ground Defense, Late War towed ATG units increased to 8 Ground Defense.
• All Stukas have had a slight price increase.
• First series of Captured Units has been added to the German Unit Roster: Char B, Somua S35, Panhard Recon Car, Matilda II, Polish 105mm Artillery.
• Medium Tanks for all nations have had a price reduction in addition to their stat changes. Heavy Tanks and Heavy Anti-tank units have had their prices increased. Units affected:

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War 1.04
The update includes changes to play balance, improved AI, additions to the user interface plus some bug and rare crash fixes.
Bêta patch change list
V1.04 – August 8, 2011
User Interface:
Mouse wheel scrolling is now supported in text fields which can be scrolled in the ordinary way.
Scrolling controls can now be set by clicking in the control’s track. This is admittedly rather trivial.
When the “Surprise” option from Hannibal’s Punic Tricks is in play the tiles will be marked with a circle as a reminder that all units receive a special bonus for the first round of combat. After the option is finished, all units will revert to their usual state.
Play Balance:
Hannibal no longer must receive a Command Phase each Campaign Phase, or, at a minimum, have one reserved for him.
There is a very slight increase in the rate of replenishment for the recruiting pool in Zeugitania at the “Normal” and “Hard” levels of play.
The assignment of a Command Phase can be undone by using the new “z” hotkey. This must be done before the leader moves, attacks, concentrates, disperses, or completes an Option Card play.
Improved AI Intelligence:
The AI now uses the “Roman Siege” cards more judiciously at the “Hard” level of play.
The AI makes better decisions when to use the “Rally One Legion” and “Rally Two Legions” option cards at the “Normal” and “Hard” levels of play. It also uses a better algorithm to determine which units will be chosen to be rallied.
The Roman Senate is now somewhat less aggressive about confronting Hannibal in Northern Italy after Hannibal has won a couple of victories.
Improved the AI decision-making logic at the Normal and Hard levels when de-ciding to deploy to the field. This corrects the situation in which the AI didn’t re-gard leaderless Carthaginian armies as valid targets.
General Improvements and corrections:
Corrects an error that allowed a Roman leader to get stuck in a loop that could not be paused.
Corrects a rare crash that can occur when recruiting in Cisalpine Gaul and Philip of Macedon is active and located in that province.
Improved game logging when the game is initializing DirectX.
Enforce the rule that Elephants cannot be doubled as a result of the Inspired Troops option from Hannibal’s Punic Tricks. The game was allowing this and it should not.
Pontian Aid has been renamed Illyrian Aid. The option works exactly as it did be-fore. But the previous name was somewhat anachronistic and Illyrian Aid is more accurate for the game’s time period.
A few fixes for some minor and obscure bugs.

Men of War: Vietnam #2
Standard, Special Editions and Steam version:
Synchronization of various versions in multiplayer
The difficulty on the Easy level is significantly reduced.
Game editor added, engagement of game modes possible. Find it in c:\Program Files\***\Men of War Vietnam\ or in the game folder in the Start menu
Campaign for USA available from the start
Errors in unit names fixed
Special Edition only:
Mission ‘Survivor’ issue with the mission completion fixed.
Mission ‘No Surrender’ issue with impossibility to locate units in the church fixed.
Mission ‘Risky plan’ error with mission completion fixed.
Two single-player campaigns cover both sides of the conflict. The US campaign focuses on a team of elite special ops soldiers, and each one of them has a personality. This unit includes Sergeant John Merrill, machinegunner Jim Walsh, sniper Sonny Armstrong, grenade launcher operator Carl Dillan and combat engineer Bill Kirby. In some missions they can count only on themselves, while in the others they act together with regular US and South-Vietnamese troops.
Missions range from special operations (rescuing a shot-down pilot, escorting a reporter, etc.) to full scale battles.

· Keep positions are now deserialized correctly when switching between maps. Correct keep position icons are now shown on the minimap.
· Fix for thread memory bug causing sudden large drop in
· framerate.
Multiplayer Fixes:
· Various issues with Multiplayer lobbies which should be much
· more stable now.
· Fix for the issue with players joining & leaving MP lobbies
· before start. It should no longer hang on “starting game”.
· Teams/colours should get assigned immediately on startup (no
· more waiting a few seconds and then your team number changes).
· Fix for players still being able to build after being eliminated
· from the game.
· Multiplayer estate assignment should be more consistent.
· Various out of sync issues.
