==============================================================================
BOA2 : War in America version 1.07
April 1, 2010
==============================================================================
This patch contains all changes since version 1.00b
******************************************************************************************************************
Note: Key commands and features added at patch 1.04
- New sentry orders:
<SPACE>: In sentry for one turn.
<CTRL><SPACE>: In sentry until 90% healed.
Reminder:
<S>: Permanent Sentry (until moving or attacked) (hit again <S> or <SPACE to remove the sentry state)
<CTRL><S>: Remove all Sentry status on map.
<C>: Center on the selected unit
<SHIFT><C>: Center on the destination of the unit.
<H>: Put directly the selected force in structure, if some available in the region.
- You can <ALT>-left-click on a force tab to rename it. Some Armies with Leaders can't be renamed though.
- New Region finder. Works with <CTRL><F>
******************************************************************************************************************
==================================================================================================================
Note: Under some conditions, Depot Build may consume partial strength supply units.
To be safe, separate the two supply units [must have 4 elements each and be >50% strength] for depot build command
==================================================================================================================
Note: 'Supply Filter' colors are now:
Green = Net Supply supply above demand
Orange = Net supply available = 0
Red = Net Supply in deficit to demand
==================================================================================================================
******************************************************************************************************************
Note:
Units attempting to load land units onto ships and sail away [either in port or loading onto adjacent ships at sea] must have 'evasive move' set on if enemy troops are present in any form. Failure to set 'evasive' in presence of the enemy will abort the loading process, and ships will sail away without the units.
