Where do I install this screen door, Sir?

Thanks to Derek for pointing out that all the submarines produced since the start of the game have had an experience level of "Untrained". The problem is fixed for all new subs from now on, but its too late for the poor guys wandering around the ocean now.

Bomber Target Selector Fixed

Fixed an indexing problem with the icons in the bomber target selector. When I increased the size of the icon table, I forgot to change the offset in the bomber target selector tree control. Its fixed and the unit icons are drawn again.

Combat Update

When a unit is destroyed, any pending sales of that unit are now canceled. We would occasionally get pending trades on "Free Unit Record".

Dead Generals

I have updated the game mail messages to show when a unit commander is killed in battle.

Combat Update

Fixed a problem where 'zero loss' battles would sometimes show in e-mail. If a battle produces no losses to either side, it no longer generates an e-mail message.

Name Generator Almost Done

The name generator and culture record are pretty much done. In the next game each unit should have a commander's name attached to it.

Most of the names will be fictional, provided by the name generator. In some cases where I have been able to find the actual name of the commander, I have added the commander's name to the unit in the scenario file. For example, all of the German U-Boats will have the actual historical commander listed.

The Pentagon's New Map

Some people play Global Superpowers with real nations:

Long but worth watching all the way through.
