{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/5d50364cd59ee4fc5bae62d6b263d4531e0276ac.jpg We’ve finished another set of aircraft models representing two minor Eastern European powers, Romania and Yugoslavia. There were unfortunately not many domestically designed combat craft to choose from for the Romanians, but the Yugoslavians had a wide range of units that we felt deserved to be added to the game. This is a free content update for all current and future owners of Making History: The Second World War. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/58fb15bf6c80e21f23660dc6ba1896e2c088b7ab.jpg We also included in this release a

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/7e18acd53e29153eb056207bc33c5c6e4409ca9f.jpg As a small, landlocked nation surrounded by hostile neighbours, Czechoslovakia placed a high priority on developing a modern aviation industry. With no ports or ships, they viewed the air as their sea. Using the large heavy machinery and military industrial factories in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia was able to produce a well respected force in regards to personnel, material and equipment. The Munich Agreement forced the Czechs to surrender without a fight so we can never know how this force would have fared against the German

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/ad067e5b737cf18db9853448fe55c8a956873f07.png The latest update to the game now adds unique models for the Dutch national air force. The infamous Fokker aircraft manufacturer designed and produced several respectable fighter and bomber planes that saw action in the German invasion of the Netherlands. Although many aircraft were destroyed on the ground, the outnumbered Dutch units scored significant victories against the German Luftwaffe. But the costs were high as almost 95% of the Dutch pilots were lost. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/a78965fe202c7e873e7ba8f098270a3cdf

The newest version of The Second World War has now been released for Linux and Mac users. This includes the new Polish Aircraft content recently added to the Windows version of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/41b4458643671926c79fe333071b620151fb80dd.jpg If a Linux or Mac player had their game Betas property set to use Mac or Linux, this should no longer be necessary. The property can be set to None. All future updates will release on the three platforms simultaneously.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/ab483e57be3d2f9b127bee399a14903952e144a0.png In this release we’ve added a new set of unit models representing the Polish Air Force. These include the unique gull-winged aircraft that Poland developed in the early 1930’s, one of the most advanced fighter designs in the world at that time. Many of the Polish planes we’ve modeled were never produced in significant numbers or were still in the prototyping phase when the Germans invaded. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30357706/41b4458643671926c79fe333071b620151fb80dd.jpg Next we are looking to add Czech, Dutch, Romanian, Yugoslavia

This update isn’t large but we wanted to get something out quickly. There are a few feature improvements but we’ve mostly tried to fix bugs. The issue that caused the game to crash when changing the nationality of a colony has been resolved. We also found that disbanded units would return full MPU levels even if the unit was damaged. That too has been fixed. Improvements to UI elements and an optimization to ca

In this release we’ve implemented a Difficulty system to provide a greater challenge to players who are finding the game too easy. As with any new system, we expect there might be further adjustments needed to get the difficulty levels balanced. Another significant change is really a bug fix.

A small post-release update is now available. In general, the release was released in good shape. There were a few bugs found by the community but that’s not surprising in a complex game like this. Please report any suspected bugs and we’ll do our best to solve them quickly. There has also been a few requests by players. Two of these related to modding. We created a scenario that basically blank called Empty World Scenario for those who prefer to build their mods from scratch. It’s only available in the editor. Several users have posted question about adding custom flags to their mods. It has
