008 is under development and the Project Team is working on it. The latest available version is 007.

Edited by predator_bg, 16 August 2011 - 11:50 AM.

[Su8perkillr]

Sounds like a plan to m- O wait. Erm, I might be confusing mods, but doesnt inf gen already have squad training option in his barracks?

[Casojin]

Infantry Gen Barrack has an option to train 4 infantry at a time and Infantry Gen in 008 will have Mobile Barrack (which can also call in artillery strike).

[Su8perkillr]

My point exactly. Even though it sounds good to have spam barracks, it also sounds like much to do about nothing plan :/

[Casojin]

The mobile barrack is available at rank 3 and costs $2000 (it is actually artillery designator in 007).

[Su8perkillr]

Ok... I already feared that it would be another lvl 5 unit that wasnt going to be used much.

[predator_bg]

Change log update? There is many changes between part 11 and now. Dcesarec and I noticed it. I see the first post has been edited in 4th November 2010. Seems old.
