War 4 Begins

                    As promised, today we are delivering a patch on schedule that is making omgmod bigger and better than ever, or really just killing Unlimiteds free time more than ever. As promised we are delivering an awesome patch on a time table that only a community of players who do not donate money could find not impressive. The patch is bigger and better than ever, and stealing Jimbos free time better than ever, everything we could have ever wished for. For this patch the balance team focused their energy on three doctrines. Infantry Doctrine, Luftwaffe Doctrine, and Armor Doctrine. This is not to suggest there arent changes everywhere, simply that players can expect in the coming months the other doctrines to receive the same treatment. While these patches have been also focused on much needed balance and bug fixing, as soon as the balance team feels its appropriate, we will also be switching to more game design and game building aspects. Before we get to this months patch notes let me first talk a little bit more about communication.

It is a primary focus of this development team to have open communication with the players about what we are implementing and why. To this end, here is a very long document the balance team has prepared that shares their thoughts on just about everything going into this patch: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18eao4VQht-k955Sf88k9dGVIpDk1ZBrmTYiHxNJ7l24/edit?usp=sharing
