(Very small) Hotfix - Patch 1.17.4.1

Generals!

Small update on No Compromise, No Surrender | Patch 1.17.4. Very recently we started receiving reports of certain Tech Bonuses stacking too much. We quickly looked into this and discovered that this was clearly not working as Designed. Hence, this small Hotfix:

Bugfix

No Compromise, No Surrender | Patch 1.17.4

Generals! Since the first open beta release we’ve focused on a few areas to continue to develop, before releasing the update full. Naval AI

We continued to look at naval AI and making them perform better, we are happy to say that they are in a much better place compared to 1.17.3. That said, we have a few more things to work on, which we will do through future game updates.

No Compromise, No Surrender - 1.17.4 Open Beta Client Update

Generals! Batya here again. We’ve gotten a lot of input on the beta patch and we really appreciate it, thank you.

NCNS | Patch 1.17.3
