DOWPro

After what has been without doubt a truly gruelling Beta process with no less than 47 betas.

DoWpro 1.56 is LIVE!

I'm delighted to report that the contrast between 1.56 and 1.55, released in March, is dramatic. Tighter balance, more strategies, reworked tech trees, streamlined and developed game mechanics are all on a considerable shortlist of features of the latest DoWpro.

We asked you to be patient in March when we released 1.55 and you most certainly have. Not only have we finished IG but we certainly didn't skimp on the polish for the other races. Do not miss this version of DoWpro - it is too good to skip on!

To those not entirely sure what DoWpro is I'd ask that you peruse What is DoWpro???

So what's this big ol' hoo-har about then? Well, 1.56 is THE culmination of 4 months work from the entire community. Hundreds of hours and hundreds of games have fuelled the DoWpro balance team's unending search to purge the imba. The good news is that they just may have done it.

1.56 is SIMPLE to install. Run the .exe and you're sorted. 1.56 also supports the DoWpro map pack in AUTOMATCH. That's correct, you can now play DoWpro in AUTOMATCH with DoWpro maps as part of the pool!

DoWpro Map Pack

1.56 will remain the standard version of DoWpro for the entire ESGL league www.ESGL.net
