1/31/2023 Note: Greetings soldiers, I'm happy to see that many of you are still fighting on the battlefield and I'm sure many of you are ready for the next fight. However my own battle for deep bottom is not over yet. I intended for update 24 to be a vast one, but never intended to leave anyone in silence or give a sense of abandonment. Update 24 is going to need community testing. Starting Friday players will be able to gain access to another version of Deep Bottom through a steam workshop link. Soldiers should take the opportunity to provide feedback during this process, your insight will help me. This update will come with its own roadmap until it's finally finished and uploaded. At ease soldiers.

Greetings soldiers! Today I bring you the third part of the terrain update, along with new balance adjustments. The previous update brought an additional map version which came with some balance adjustments for EA26. I believe I’ve resolved these balance issues. Therefore the EA26 version will likely be removed starting next week. I’m eager to mold the experience players crave, and I hope this is a good start. All changes can be found below.

Update: Terrain revamp (3-4)

Added shortcuts to the largest section of the field for the following regiments.. 1st U.S. Sharpshooters, 3rd Arkansas Infantry.
Reworked terrain nearby the Army of Northern Virginia.
Reduced trees to increase performance.
The Army of the James and Army of Northern Virginia now have artillery.

Over the course of several weeks, The second battle of deep bottom had many level design overhauls and adjustments. There will be one more update which will be its largest and possibly last. Both battlefields will be reworked into one. This update will take time. I would like to mention overtime I have noticed world war collections across my maps. Whilst I don't design fields for that audience, they might be pleased to know built in types, MG, Jeep, and tank are available. Balancing the field for these types is not a priority.

Update Note:

Changed atmosphere for more color.
Reduced height of foliage in the largest section of the field.
Updated dirt texture.
Updated grass texture.
Smoothed slopes nearby U.S. Sharpshooters

Greetings soldiers, I hope everyone is enjoying the start of 2023. With this update I bring you the second part of the terrain update. This update introduces a reworked landscape behind the James river.

These past few days I’ve been thinking about what’s best for deep bottom and my battle hardened soldiers which have endured much throughout this process. I believe it’s best that deep bottom has its own EA26 version. The version will come with AI boundaries to make make sure its outcomes are similar to version EA25. Whilst it will might resolve most balance issues, There will be one new issue which will be mentioned.

Both of these versions will continue to receive updates throughout the rest of its development. For full patch notes, please read below.
