OPEN BETA | Patch 1.16.5 - UPDATED

Generals!

For the next several days you’ll be able to test some things and give us all your feedback in this thread.

You can play around, test and give feedback on anything you like, but our focus will be on these points:

• Equipment Designer - We’ve added functionality to save your designs across game sessions. Save a tank/ship/plane design in one playthrough, and load it up in another.

• Also added is the ability to share designs with friends using the import/export feature.

• Saadabad Pact Branch - Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey are getting a shared branch that allows them to cooperate more with one another.

• Iran is getting some extra characters and focuses, including scientists and generals.

• Afghanistan is also getting some extra characters in the form of a communist country leader and some new advisors.

• Iraq’s Kurdistan branch is being expanded upon

We’re working hard on polishing Graveyard of Empires content on multiple fronts with the addition of new focuses, characters and events. We’ll continue to work on fixes, content and balancing as the beta progresses, and we may want to update the beta content during this time to make sure you have the opportunity to give us specific feedback relevant to the state of the game at that time.

The equipment designer persistence feature is something we might want to extend in the future towards other parts of the game as well, so please give us feedback on that! (The import/export feature is available in the equipment designer that comes with MTG, NSB or BBA)
