Patch v1.01 - time/speed options available

You asked, and we answered - we've been monitoring and responding to discord and the community forums like a hawk, and a new patch addressing many concerns is now live! This is what we call aggressive patching. You may need to restart steam to pick up the patch. Patch v1.01 Major features: - Added 'extra mission duration' toggle to level-select screen. This doubles the duration for each operation, allowing you to take it slow and maneuver to your heart's content. - Added 'slow game speed' toggle to level-select screen. This halves the normal game speed, slowing down the game and allowing you to more easily react to the craziness of war. Note: Both options above only available for singleplayer (for now). Minor: - Removed the 'look at me' red circle animation of message prompts after it happens twice - Made units be able to retreat when under fire even if they can't see their attacker (a.k.a. someone shooting your tanks, and your tanks can't see them) - Tweaked AI to add maximum distance they'll move to capture empty enemy-held objectives (no more cross-map marathons!) Bug fixes: - Resized main menu and options menu to better support super widescreen (3440x1440) - Fixed scan-lines/grayscale remaining when quitting a mission while fast-forwarding via pause menu - Fixed drum-roll sound not stopping when a max-veterancy unit is levelled-up - Removed font warnings from player.log file - Changed saved replay filenames to use given names instead of mission name - MULTIPLAYER: Fixed client being unable to report enemy status using enemy figurines What's next? A straight-line/move directly to command, localization improvements, a map editor guide, more bug fixes and maybe trading cards? If you're having problems with speech recognition, please refer to this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011610/discussions/0/2262438048225838980 We're working hard to make the game the best it can be, so good or bad, please leave a review with your thoughts and comment.

Radio General is a real-time strategy game where you can't see your units. Instead you talk with them over the radio. You receive verbal reports, and then issue orders back over the radio. Unfortunately for you, war is confusing. Your units won't always know what's going on, and you must make tough decisions based on these incomplete (and often confused) reports. All of this is done from a detailed command tent, as it would have been during WWII.

Clear your throat, and show us your best commanding voice. By combining speech recognition with full voice-acting, you'll feel like you're a general on the horn with your troops.

Behind the scenes, ammunition, morale, camouflage, sight and stamina are all being modelled. Elevation and terrain type will heavily influence battles. A smaller force will be more successful in launching ambushes in a forest than a larger force. Being on a road drastically improves movement speed, however affords little cover and camouflage. Being on a hill will drastically increase your spotting distance, whilst also increasing your range and damage. Study the map carefully, and identify how best to use your units.

Carefully choose which companies to deploy - each company has unique strengths and weakness. Learn the quirks and personalities of your companies: zealous officers may refuse to retreat. Veteran companies will gain specializations, with each unit type having unique abilities.

Everyone needs a break, and your companies must rest and replenish between missions. Exhausted units perform poorly, so watch your unit rotations.

Play from the under-represented perspective of the 1st Canadian Army. Take part in the disastrous Dieppe Raid, crack the Hitler and Gothic Lines in Italy, land upon the Normandy beaches and close the Falaise Gap.

Review 100's of historical photos, documents and video. Learn how soldiers lived throughout the war, and gain a better understanding of their experiences.

Recreate history's most famous battles of the war using an easy to use map editor. Share your creations using Steam workshop. Create challenging scenarios for others to try to beat!

Battle against players around the globe, or ally with them against the AI! Enjoy slower-paced tactical matches without needing insane micromanagement skills typical of most RTS games.
