Hello :)

Before I tell you the good news that DAC V3 was released, I would like to say thanks to my translators for the hard work.

Of course, my thanks go to my beta testers. They have helped me wonderfully and delivered enough feedback.

(For further details please read the page 56 of the readme.)

MANY THANKS !

Okay, what you will get today, is the following package:

- DAC Version 3.0 (for ArmA II)

- a 33 part demo (ger + eng)

- a 60 page readme (ger + eng)

- additional functions from MadRussian (thx my friend :) )

That's the main content of the release today.

Now a short description of DAC and the features:

In (so called) "AI-zones", waypoints and units of different categories

and sides are being generated. If you play a mission using DAC, you will

get a different game experience every time restarting the mission.

This is the result of every AI-zone being generated every time,

when you start the mission.

Furthermore, when using DAC, your mission will gain momentum and

replayability will increase drastically in comparison with

standard missions. Nevertheless mission designers have to spend

more time in balancing the opposite forces and in testing their mission.

The script is able to maintain supplies, in a dynamic, but by mission designers

controllable way. The AI respawns at fully generated camps, so it is possible

to create large, long lasting missions using DAC.

New features, such as create DAC-zones during a mission or object-generation

and also the old features like global troup movements,or multiple de-/activation

of AI-zones are taking mission design to a new level.
