Well it is past due, but it is time for 8.0 update testing! This update will be the largest update for the Darkest Hour mod yet and we are not even feature complete yet. Therefore, we are calling this 8.0 Alpha testing and those who help us test should not expect things to be final. The testing will go on as long as we need it to. To start things off, we are scheduling the first 8.0 test for Saturday the 17th, at 1pm EST. We expect the test to last a couple of hours or longer if things go well. We will be testing the squad system, rally points, construction, maps, and the new game type Advance. For a more complete list of changes so far, you can check out our work in progress change log here.
