We are back! Unity of Command II got released in November, to a good amount of press coverage, glowing reviews , and (predominantly) satisfied players clocking up good hours with the game.

Now that the game has been offic…

By now, a lot of the people following this diary must be thinking “so anyway, this game is practically done, right?” I guess it depends on your definition of “practically”. It is certainly playable, there are very few features that are outright missing, and the scenario count is up to around 20-ish. On the other hand, we’re trying to make a game that’s better than merely playable, so expect mor…
