Werbung Baby

Just installed the Paradox 1.03 and had a quick battle of 'Al Fubar'. The graphics and performance have improved. This patch plus my new display driver: I'm in Smooth City. At first, everything went really fine. I even managed to get a little bit excited about the game. My poor stranded squads sat nice and cosy in the buildings, waiting for the reinforcements. Occasionally, they stopped the rushing red waves with sporadic bursts of fire. Unfortunately, my reinforcements arrived. A Stryker column makes me feel exhausted right away. I ordered a couple of Strykers to advance and, once again, it became apparent that it's impossible to move an entire column or a section of it at the same time. The first pair moved ahead fine but the next Stryker took an immediate right turn, drove into the closest building and struggled there until it managed to get back to the road. Meh. With some further testing, I did notice that the pathfinding is in fact a little bit better than previously. Or less bad, that is. Fortunately, it looks like it's finally possible to give RT movement orders while paused on 'elite' setting. That helps tremendously my efforts to keep some control of the battlefield. Even with these fixes, somehow I keep wishing for more. More variety to the scenarios and maps, maybe. Something more than herding a flock of Strykers along empty streets. I don't know.

Remember to apply 1.03 patch to the baby before leaving hospital. That way you may actually find a path home.

Agreed. My old eyes would really appreciate a larger font there.

No. In addition to the TacAI and pathfinding issues mentioned so many times already, I particularly hate the loading screen music. Oh, yes. I wish there was a toggle for that hideous noise.
