- NEW FEATURES FOR PLAYERS IN GLOBAL WAR VERSION 2.40
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Configurable Fortifications. Instead of One or Unlimited, the number
- of fortifications in each game may now be set to any number.
-
- Non-Sequential Play option. In previous versions of Global War, turns
- always consisted of a Deployment phase, followed by an optional Attack
- phase, and ended with an optional Fortification phase. This type of
- game is now called a "Sequential Play" game. A new "Non-Sequential
- Play" option is now available. This option allows players to freely
- mix the three phases at will. For example, players may start out by
- Attacking, then Fortify, then Deploy a couple armies, then Attack some
- more, deploy some more, and so on.
-
- Surrender Option. This option will allow a player to surrender to
- another player. When a player surrenders, all of his countries,
- armies, and commendations are turned over to the player he surrenders
- to. The surrendering player loses a configurable number of points.
-
- Fortification across connected countries. Players may fortify
- directly from one country to any other country provided they occupy
- all the countries in between. For example, a player may fortify from
- Alaska directly to Mexico if he also occupies Alberta and W. US.
-
- Players are now able to check player status, change maps, etc while
- cashing in a set of commendations.
-
- Game asks for confirmation when player quits fortifying.
