What's New In Entrenchment?

 

I’m getting non-stop questions from people wondering “What’s new in Entrenchment?” and I can’t blame them. They are justified in asking because there is no single place to find an easily digestible list of the new material. My excuse is that I felt the change logs were more than sufficient however when I was brought back to reality I realized how impossible it would be for anyone not in the beta to make heads or tails of those logs (you can view them below). You all deserve a higher level perspective on what Entrenchment brings to the table. So until the manual is complete, here is my attempt at correcting the problem:

 

1.   Gameplay Example: If you like, you can start with a sample of Entrenchment gameplay written up by Brad Wardell of Stardock that includes lots of great screenshots illustrating his comments. This can be found here: Gameplay Example 

 

2.   Feature List: This list is lifted directly from our internal feature list. It’s not nearly as detailed as the change logs but it covers a lot of the behind the scenes and non-unit related material that wouldn’t be covered in the next topic. Check it out here: Feature List

 

3.   New Unit Basics and Tips: This certainly isn’t all encompassing but it’ll give you a feel for the categories of the new toys, what their function is and I give a few tips on how I like to use them. I’ll probably flush this out more over time. Check it out here: Unit Basics and Tips

 

4.   Detailed Change Logs: If you are insane or just insatiably curious and what to know every last detail of what’s new in Entrenchment, check out the complete change logs in each of these links:

wow, cool. thanks for the effort, nice read, the reward is for all three of those, since I have to give it somewhere. also nice to hear that a manual will apparantly be coming at some point in the future.

Did you bonk Yarlen over the head until he agreed to write one? :P Also, nice!

Just want to add my thanks for this and the related posts.  Very helpful to me! 

I had read all of the change logs, but hit information overload and had trouble pulling the big picture out of all of the details.  So thanks again!

I have a question how do I get the game to quit the insane jumping around of the side bar when any unit starts to phase jump and I am trying to give me fleet orders?

Very interesting reads, indeed. I was unsure to reinstall SoaSE (love it, just it eats too much time... but that's why I love it :s), now I don't hesitate anymore! Looks like Entrenchment is as awesome as it was promised, and much more :D

A little behind the times on this reply...

I played myself out on SoaSE. Put it on the back-burner. I recived the email about the update. I bit, and bought, just on the basic features list. Have been playing a couple of days, but had no idea of the scope of additional options. After reading your breakdown of the new features, it brings a whole new excitement to the game.

Thank you Blair for taking the time to update us.
