New Maps ( A total of 15!)


Beggar's Canyon - - A claustrophobic, 8 player desert map. Oil is plentiful, but you'll have to balance research with good defenses if you want to win.

Gridlock City - The remains of a huge city. This is an 8 player map with lots of oil resources. The space between bases and lack of bottlenecks make this an ideal map for trying out new technology. Try using the Lassat on an enemy Command Center to cause confusion before a tank rush. Basingstoke - 4 player desert map. Work your way in slowly from the corners of this huge environment, taking the oil first and then the enemy's territory. In an area as large as this it is impossible to rush your opponents. Be patient, research carefully, and surprise them late in the game with something they're not expecting.

Little Egypt - 4 player desert map. In a claustrophobic map the enemy are never far away. If you're losing the battle then use politics to turn the tables. Choosing the right alliances in Little Egypt might well win you the war. One more thing: don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the water surrounding your base - hover units and VTOL's are easily manufactured!

Sand Castle - 8 player urban map. Capture the remains of this once great city block by block, securing the bridges with defenses as you progress. Howitzers, mortars and VTOL's will help you reach enemies across the water when they're least expecting it.

Rolling Hills - 4 Player desert map. Push forward over the rolling hills of the title and retreat to the narrower canyons around your base when the going gets tough. Those who reach the central desert quickly will be rewarded with oil barrels (easily taken from the weak scavenger settlements). More permanent oil resources can be found along the banks of the three rivers - we suggest hit and run hover groups for surprising the enemy.

Hide and Sneak - 8 player urban map. In this strange, Tron - like environment you can hide but you can't run. Winding your way around the maze will quickly reveal nearby oil resources, but remember to go carefully and lock down areas as you progress. Later you may wish to build derricks in the oil - rich central area, but be warned : reveal your position and attacks will come from all sides.

Yin-Yang   - 8 player mountain map. The glacial conditions here have created steep cliffs between the vast swirls of high and low ground. Navigate carefully and keep an eye out so as not to be outflanked by enemy tank groups. You may find the Cyborg Transport useful in setting up surprise attacks and remote structures.

Great Rift  - A massive 192x192 sized 4 player map set in the Arizona Desert. Four high Plateaus surrounding a great chasm. Take control of the oil resources and wreak havoc with Howitzers and Ripple Rockets.

The Pit       - A great crater surrounded by high plateaus. Defend you plateau or take and hold the center. The choice is yours.

Concrete Playground  - A massive 250 x 250 sized 8 player map. Our biggest yet! Set in an urban wasteland with huge concrete plateau that with a little careful planning can be defended from enemy attack. With plenty of oil resources and vast expanses of water. Get researching them Hovers! Be sure to let us know what you think of this monster map.

Fishnet   - A big 96 x 96 sized 4 player map. Set in a huge valley with plenty of lakes surrounded by snowy ridges. Control the ridges or take the center. Choose wisely!

Added Features

  1. Skirmish scripts are now no longer stored in the wdg. End users can now modify and create their own Skirmish scripts.
     
  2. Map preview in multiplayer setup.
     
  3. Unit Auto-Repair - Automatically repairs damaged units. You've seen NEXUS do it, now you can too!
    To help see how resistive your units are to electronic warfare we've added a new 'power bar'. Hold ctrl with a unit/structure selected to display it's resistance. This feature was also in 1.04 , but we've moved it from overlaying the unit's power bar to overlaying the reload bar.
     
  4. Choose your own base. You can now be any player and any color in a skirmish / multiplayer game. Choose your base on the flag-requester in the multiplayer setup menu. Each number corresponds to a particular base on the map. To find your favorite base play a skirmish game, press keypad-enter to list the players. The number of each players base is next to the players' name. (i.e.: on 'rush' the top left is base 0, top right 1, bottom right 2, bottom left 3)
     
  5. Extra cheat modes and debug screens. Warzone-mod fans stay tuned!
     
  6. Direct Modem Play options. You can select a different modem to play with other than the windows 'default modem'. This will help those people with 2 or more modem devices (e.g. windows CE service users). To use a different modem open the 'direct modem' directory in the Warzone 2100 program directory and double click on the desired modem. 0 is the default setting.
     
  7. Map Editor support. Provisional support for map downloading has been added. If a remote player does not have the map it will be automatically downloaded from the host. THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED IN THE INTERNET ENVIRONMENT and is very heavy on communications. If the connection between machines is non reliable the transfer may fail. If this happens you will need to delete the map file from the root of your Warzone installation directory. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOWNLOAD THE MAP FROM A WEB SITE PRIOR TO STARTING WARZONE. A message will be added to the chat once the player has the map.
     
  8. Sensor Range Display. Press and hold Z to see a snapshot of your sensor range. Perfect for finding those spots you've missed.
     
  9. Skirmish Improvements. Each skirmish player can now be assigned a difficulty. Drag the slider to the right to increase the difficulty. Drag all the way to the left to turn off the player (the last player can't be turned off).
     
  10. Multiplayer Research Info. A small heart appears by any research topic your allies are working on. Now you can see what they are researching! Move the mouse over the heart to see which player is researching that topic. (note that in TeamPlay, research is automatically shared: you don't have to give a research gift)
     
  11. Build List Queuing. Allows queuing of structures to be built by trucks. Select a structure, choose a site, then repeat this sequence while holding shift or ctrl for each additional structure you wish to build.
     
  12. Demolition Queuing. Demolish a series of structures by first selecting the demolish icon, followed by the first structure you wish to demolish, repeat this sequence while holding shift or ctrl for each additional demolish order. Demolish and build queues can be mixed, as can building lines of defensive structures.
     
  13. Campaign 3 Technology Trees. Research and Develop Campaign 3 Technologies - adds rail guns, lasers and missiles!
     
  14. One-Player Skirmish Save Games. Now you can save in one player skirmish games. Ideal for those long battles against the computer.
     
  15. Improved Skirmish AI. This skirmish update improves on enemy detection and how the enemy chooses research and units. It's much more realistic and a lot tougher. If you find it too hard, try turning off alliances, or remove a few skirmish players on big maps. (click the computer icon where the flags usually appear in the host game screen)
     
  16. Commanders and Repair. Commanders can now be repaired by holding down Alt and selecting a commander with a repair unit. Also units returning from repair centers now always return to the commander's current position.
     
  17. Technology Level 2 changes. Selecting a multiplayer Campaign level now sets the starting levels of the technologies in that game.
    Campaign 1: Enables the entire tech tree from the start of campaign 1 to the end of campaign 2
    Campaign 2: Starts with campaign 1 technology already researched and enables campaign 2 tech.
     
  18. Factory Settings Feature. Attack Ranges, Retreat Levels, Fire Options and Movement Options can have their factory settings altered. To access the factory settings, right click the factory in the 3d view, then select the settings you want to change. All future units produced by the factory will have the new settings.
     
  19. Thicker D3D smoke!
     
  20. Support for WZ add-on packs - WZ now has the functionality to support additional maps, units and research technology.
     
  21. Unit limit increased to 100 per side in Multiplayer.
     
  22. Maps can be played at 2 different technology levels. To access the campaign two technology maps, ensure that you have no computer players enabled and then select a new map. When the map select form comes up, click on the tab with the number 2 on it. You will then be presented with the new maps - they all have '-T2' after their name. For the present, you will still have to progress through the campaign 1 research topics in order to access the new campaign 2 items. We are looking at the possibility of having these (campaign 1) topics already researched at the start of the game as an option. This will most likely be introduced into Warzone 2100 in update 1.03.
     
  23. Players in a team share radar information and research - this is updated in real time.
    Can see visibility and units/structures for allies in teamplay in real-time.
     
  24. New audio system with EAX support - this should lessen the chances of the audio system causing hangs on certain system specifications.
     
  25. F12 support added for 'unit lost' audio message and others.
     
  26. Flashing cursor added to text entry code - this provides the player with a more obvious indication that they have entered chat mode.
