Heroes to Generals Bearbeiten Quelltext bearbeiten When a Hero reaches combat level 12 they have the option of progressing from a Hero to a General. This means that they can no longer participate in FPS battles, but have extra command over assault teams in the Generals aspect of the game.

Reto-Moto’s been working on one of Heroes & Generals largest updates. Not content with adding new maps and refining the game’s core Battlefield 1942-style combat and metagame of continental conquest, the studio’s released a whole new faction to play with.
The Soviets have arrived with 14 new vehicles and planes, more than a dozen weapons, and 1,000 battlefields to fight over.
Check out some of the Soviet faction’s gear in the launch trailer:
Since launch players have only been able to play as either the US or German forces. Every battle was fought between those same two sides. The plus of the Russians isn’t just the new gear to play with but now battlegrounds can be a three way conflict.
“Our community has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Soviet faction, and this update transforms Heroes & Generals with far more than new characters, equipment and battlefields,” Jacob Andersen, Game Director at Reto-Moto said in a press release mailed to us by fetching messenger pigeon wearing a hammer and sickle medallion pinned to its breast. “The gameplay dynamics are enriched for both the Heroes on the battlefields and the strategic management of the Generals—with three separate factions each comprised of thousands of players fighting across Europe it’s a war on a whole new scale!”
Soviet players will be able to get their hands on famous weapons like the Mosin-Nagant rifle and PPD-40 submachine gun, and the brutally effective PTRD 1941 anti-tank rifle.
Vehicles-wise, Reto-Moto’s added in two variants of the T-34 medium tank, the SU-85 tank destroyer, and, best of all, the Yak-9B fighter plane.
You can read through the full list of new weapons and vehicles on the next page.
Changes to the meta game sees battles fought over supply lines instead of just access points, so canny generals will send players to fight in skirmishes that will cripple the enemy’s’ ability to reinforce in the battles further away from home.
Over the page is the full changelog for the Timoshenko update.

Battle System Changes
Skirmish missions do not take place on accesspoints anymore.
Friendly ATs are placed on the center of the battlefield.
Friendly ATs reaching a location with an assault battle can pass through and join the defenders at battlefield center.
Losing faction of an assault battle has to retreat, and no subsequent battle is triggered on the battlefield.
ATs placed on the center of town treat any friendly accesspoint on that battlefield as their retreat starting point.
If an attacker accesspoint is captured by defenders, all ATs are retreated from that accesspoint.
Newly deployed ATs are deployed on the battlefield center of friendly towns, not on accesspoints.
While a war mission has not been “activated”, the third faction can join the mission. After activation, the mission gets locked with the original 2 factions and the third faction will have to wait till the current battle ends.
Campaign Victory Condition Changes
First faction with 12 major cities wins the war.
If one of the factions loses all its major cities, but none of its enemies have 12 major cities. Then the faction with the highest number of major cities wins the war.
AT Retreat Behaviour
Each AT has the ability to retreat from a mission.
Each retreat will reduce the resources on that AT by 25% of its max strength, or all resources, whichever is higher.
Any resources left from a retreat cannot be retrieved by the AT post battle, nor can the AT earn warfunds from their actions in the action game.
Mission Setup Changes
Each war mission will not be “activated” for 10 minutes after battle creation.
The AT prioritized selection system has been removed.
All ATs reaching a mission, are commited to the action game.
Individual ATs do not show up in the action game.
Each AT “type” per accesspoint is represented as a grouped “pool”, containing resources from all ATs of that type on the accesspoint.
When action players spawn from these “pools”, warserver randomly deducts spawns from one of the AT belonging to the pool.
When a spawn from a “pool” kills another resource, warserver randomly assigns that kill to one of the AT belonging to the pool.
Optimization – the war server supply queue process has been optimized.
Added 3 faction support for War is over screen
Updated Battle report to support 3 factions in leaderboards
Updated Campaign game victory / losing conditions on map of Europe
Updated mission details to support and better show 3 factions / 2 factions
Simplified weapon description system
Added support for better way of seeing queue numbers and added support for seeing how requested a resource is on the faction production overview
Changed flow of repairing and reloading weapons, now you get the option to repair the weapon and then you can enter the modify weapon area both for upgrades and for ammunition
Added option to auto repair vehicle ammo when repairing all ammo
Assault teams moving into a battle where they are not welcome (third faction) automatically moves back
The warmap has been changed a lot, almost to black and white, in order to bring out elements better.
Added outline to supplylines.
Added a ‘Strategic color scheme’ to supplement the ‘Friend or Foe color scheme’.
The toggle button is visible next to the Major City overview on the campaign map, and on every action game map in the flash client. The toggle changes the setting globally, and the settings are saved across sessions.
Generals may now retreat assault teams from battle, using the retreat button in assault team control in the right side of the campaign map.
Fixed the chat and notification tray buttons so they match the others in size and sharpness.
Added a notification for when users receive refunds.
The old mission/battlefield action map view has been ditched, and the one from the battlereport with capture points and attack lines is used instead. Currently, only the access points have their status set, and the rest of the points show up as neutral.
Fog of war visibility now shows for Assault Teams stationary on supplylines (mostly when they’re in a skirmish)
Generally fixed up UI to accommodate three factions.
Multimarkers now have a small indicator for the amount of troops present. It uses the symbols from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Mili … Unit_sizes and is only based on the number of soldiers present multiplied by 10 – vehicles are not taken into account.
Assault teams of different factions moving onto the same supply line now creates a skirmish on the supply line. They are placed into different stacks on their opposite sides of the skirmish.
Assault teams from the third faction cannot move onto the supply line while the skimish is going on
Multimarkers should only ever contain assault teams of a single faction.
The resources of assault teams are now pooled together in an overview shown when a multimarker is clicked.
Fixed a lot of minor issues on the warmap (e.g. the battlefields disappearing from the right side when zoomed out to max)
Support for 3 factions in match maker
New Warbond image
New Buy weapon image
New Buy Gold image
New ammunition images
1000+ new battlefields on campaign map

The defender can be depleted, kicked out, while the two attackers are still battling for objectives
Minimum state to start battle => (6 vs 6 vs 6) or (9 vs 9)
Max difference in players=> 2 between defender to largest attacker
Reinforcements now spawn from the closest Major City (unless it’s blocked)
