UPDATE: Map is working now. (There was a bug but it's been squashed)

I can't thank Hak enough. I'm sure there will be some tweaks, but without the work he already put into this map (and it must have been a blast figuring out how to work the map creator!) it would never have gotten done. And thanks to ATLDJROB for nudging me. Now, lets all attack the English!

 

Have a safe and wonderful new years. We will see all you guys in 2010.

 

That someone is the one, the only, Blue Dragon - of 1980/90's Dragon World BBS fame and currently of World at War (wawgame.com) fame.

So, Happy Birthday BD. One year older on 8-21-2009..or for you strange folks, 21-8-2009



 

A new map is available. Consider it in Beta though - if you're worried you might want to play a NOSCORE game with it. This is, in fact, the first map I've personally made from scratch. Just Cuz. It's based on a topographical map of Mars, but I consider the lowlands Oceans. (fortunately they're colored blue anyway!) No promises how good it will play but it does make for a fun additon to WaW!

 

After ages of requests etc, the fabled 2 player, Heads-Up style games are finally available! I've played a complete game and it seems to work as intended but not all options have been tested so consider this Extreme Beta for now. More in Forums of course.

 

What I consider to be the most significant (relatively) new feature to World at War is the Heroes feature. The inspiration came from a Risk Godstorm game we played at the first WaW GT in Chicago. Premium players have long had the ability to play these games but until now it was a closed Beta feature. The feature is a bit complicated to explain here so I'll post details on it in a new features area in the forums.
