• Changed map "Rice Offensive" (original for WW2) rework for 5 players and general optimization.
  
• Changed the map "Calm Lands" (original for WW2), alteration of places for building players, centering the village in the middle of the map, general optimization and adjustment to the new realities of balance.

  • "Blue eye" (original for WW2) for 4 players.

Bots

• Additional separation of bot difficulty levels (prohibition of using GenPowers at lower difficulty levels, prohibition of building powerful units, spam limitation).
  
• Fixed bugs with the construction queues of units and buildings for bots.
  
• Bots are now more advanced in learning upgrades available to them.
  
• Bots now fully explore and use all types of GenPowers available to them.
  
• Bots now fully build Super Weapons and use them.
  
• Bots now build a secondary for themselves (but still live on script money at high difficulty levels and late stages of the game because the bot cannot quantitatively over-spam a live player on the secondary without compromising the performance and stability of the game - sorry, but its SAGE).
  
• Bots now fully build all types of stationary defense available to them.
  
• Fixed intermittent lack of energy for bots through:
  
  
  • general optimization of power consumption by bots, improvement of building queues, and reduction of the total pack of units accumulated at the base to send the next "wave" to attack.
    
  • bots spam additional "search" commands to more quickly capture neutral buildings, with priority on oil rigs and refineries.
    
  • bots can sometimes start trying to take over your buildings (priority is fuel storage).
    
  • bots stop defense spamming and start spamming power plants in their place.
    
  • bots are given priority to research available upgrades that positively affect fuel consumption or generation.
    
  • if all of the above fail: bots use scripted upgrades (only available for them to build with map scripts) that allow them to generate energy from all buildings.
