Greetings, Dan here!

AMBUSH UPDATE: Version 1.1

So I know what you're going to say. Dan, the game's been out, what a month, and you haven't even release the full version yet, and you're already putting out a rules update. Yes, that is true, but, counter point, here's some propaganda:

Seriously though, I need to apologize. I realized the core rules were missing a vital set of rules that neither myself, nor my editors ever caught. The pilots had health points, and had many ways of losing them, but nowhere did I include the rules for healing health points! Version 1.1 has two different versions of healing rules included, one for narrative style, and another for realistic style. I have also included rules /expanded the definition of lasting injuries, which you would have previously found mentioned under the rules for Death. These new rules have their own subsection inside of the GM's Toolbox.

In addition to the healing rules, I also went into Weapon Construction and tweaked the optimizations for Damage and Ammo. Upon further reflection, +1 to these traits felt insubstantial compared to the tier increase of RoF and Range. A +3 should help even things out. (The ammo  optimization for the alternative resource dice ammo rules will remain the same). Maybe I'll post another devlog discussing my thought process behind why I chose the optimization bonuses that I did. In the meantime, this log is going up as the announcement for the update. The 1.1 version of the rules has already been incorporated into the working file for the paid version of the game so no worries there.

BTE Free Version 1.1 will be available tonight for download. I apologize to anyone who's already downloaded the previous version for the inconvenience. Thank you once again for your interest, and I look forward to seeing you all at the full release, currently expected Fall 2023.

Oh, and one last thing. Expect a the Mech Construction showcase featuring Nine-Ball to be going up early this week in preparation for the Armored Core 6 release on Friday.

Thank you,

Dan
