World of the Living Dead

After last week’s major changes to gameplay, the latest changes seem tame, although they include a lot of fixes and a few heavily-requested features:

• More tips added - thank you to Knight of Fools, aaano, Rosslessness and oogabooga66 for providing their words of wisdom
• Maximum number of squad slots increased - based on level
• Ammunition naming errors corrected for .30-06 Springfield, .50BMG and .40 S&W cartridges
• Flashing indicator lights only show for the active squad when moving
• New “taster” titles unlocked at higher levels
• Framework in place for localization of the game, although not yet active - French to be enabled in a few days
• New players who lose all their characters will now respawn close to their original missions and locations, so that they can more easily complete the tutorial.
• The time before SCUGS assigns new survivors has been reduced from 20 to 3 minutes.
• Reduced distance for first character mission
• Additional checks to test that SCUGS missions give 300 SP on completion

• SCUGS missions now only enabled above level 7
• Fix for errors with collecting items from NECRA caches
• Fatigue increases removed from combat with zeds at locations
