Title: Glest 2.0-rc1 released
Post by: martiño on 10 November 2005, 00:24:24

At last, Glest 2.0-rc1 has been released. The version is not the complete 2.0 though, some icons are missing and some animations will be improved. But it includes most of the features that will be present in the final version.

- New Magic units:

   - Tower of Souls: Air defense building, attacks air only
   - Golem: Defensive unit, needs EP to walk, can't attack air
   - Daemon giant: Heavy melee unit
   - Drake rider: Light ranged unit

- New Tech units:

   - Aerodrome: Building for producing air units
   - Air ballista: Air defense building, attacks air only
   - Horseman: Fast medium unit
   - Ornithopter: Light air unit
   - Airship: Heavy air unit, can't attack air

- New Magic upgrades
- New Tech upgrades
- New animations for existing units
- Loads of balance changes

New units really change the way factions are played. Magic faction has now a defensive unit, the golem, that makes them stronger at the early stages of the game. Tech faction has air units now, but they should be less powerfull because both factions now have anti air defenses, that make towns very difficult to attack with air units only.

To play this version download the dataand win32 binary packages from sourceforge. Linux users you can still use 1.2.1 source code with 2.0-rc1 data.

Some remarks:
As toph said: Why don't you integrate the done save/load-function (http://http://www.glest.org/board/viewtopic.php?t=788)?
Will all trees be able to be harvested in final 2.0?
Do you finaly make everything translateable(like "wood", "stone", "leather", "organic")? Do you put more translation in the final 2.0 data pack?
Btw I have updated german translation for 2.0 RC1: download (http://http://speedator.sp.funpic.de/glest/german.lng)

Just use the 1.2.1 source with 2.0 data, we will release the source when it is final.
