🚀 v0.1.74: Managed Modding & Strategic Feedback

This update introduces full HybridCLR Integration for managed C# mods, delivers a major overhaul to Strategic Combat Feedback, and upgrades our Global Map Visuals.Managed Modding & Infrastructure:

  • HybridCLR Support: We've integrated HybridCLR to support managed C# DLL mods in our IL2CPP builds. This allows for significantly more complex and high-performance community content.

  • Automated Generation: The build pipeline now automatically handles AOT metadata generation for modded assemblies, ensuring a seamless experience for creators.

  • Modding Patching: Adjusted patching timing and improved documentation regarding currency symbols and localization overrides.

Combat & Strategic Feedback:

  • Missile & Air Wing Feedback: Completely reworked the visual and UI feedback for strategic missile launches and air wing operations. You now receive much clearer confirmation and progress indicators for long-range force projection.

  • Air Wing Fixes: Resolved several issues regarding air wing pathing and feedback loops during complex multi-base rebasing maneuvers.

  • Loading Quotes: Added a collection of strategic and historical quotes to the loading screens to provide more context and flavor during transitions.

Map Visuals & Geography:

  • High-Coverage Fonts: Upgraded our font generation system with intelligent character coverage. Map labels across all regions are now sharper and more consistent, especially for non-Latin alphabets.

  • Border Geometry: Updated global border geometry and country line glows for better clarity at high zoom levels.

  • Latent Resources: Refined the distribution of latent strategic resources across the global province database.

UI/UX Refinements:

  • Spot Market: Improved the styling and transaction feedback for the global spot market.

  • HUD Clarity: General improvements to HUD element alignment and tutorial messaging.
