- Patch Title: 7.3.7
- Patch Release Date: April 13, 2024
The developer of Hex of Steel has released a new update for the game on April 13, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
ADDED
- Confirmation windows for the two new buttons on the unit’s UI: Disband and Send back to reserve.
- Two new properties for units: ‘Immune to winter damage’ and ‘Can attack ships’. I believe they are transparent enough so that I don’t need to explain what these do!
CHANGED
- Multiplayer compatibility -> 7.3.7.
- Updated manual.
- Reorganized the order of unit’s UI buttons.
- Heroes list is now updated on a per hero generation basis, not anymore when the map is created. Very good change as it means it is fully dynamic now and you don’t need to restart a new scenario to get the update for heroes.
- Engineers will now show mines near them (instead of them being invisible).
- Changed amour modifier/penalty taken into account for infantry. It used to be 5% for every infantry unit. It now is 5% for all AT units, and 10% for every other infantry units. It will make regular infantry less of a threat to tanks, and reinforce the use for AT units.
FIXED
- Nothing.
REMOVED
- Conversion of old events into new events. The new events have now been introduced for like 8 months, I have therefore decided to remove some old obsolete code. This will have no impact on scenarios that are using events and were made less than 8 months ago. As for current scenarios, it will have a positive effect on them since it will reduce the weight/size of each event when they are saved.
