Battle for Europe 1900 v0.3 - Lowlands + Switzerland

Happy Friday! A new version of Battle for Europe has been compiled. Over the last week I have made the following changes:

• You can now play the game via the browser.

Developer Comments: It will always be a Windows-first game. I optimise and test the Windows version. However I appreciate not everyone will want to download, then install, then uninstall the game if they don't like it. So I have provided an HTML version that will give you a "feel" for the game before downloading the optimised and debuged Windows version.

• Amsterdam has been divided into the Amsterdam and Groningen territories.

Developer Comments: The Netherlands starts with 2 territories instead of 1 now. This change was done to bring the Netherlands roughly into line with Belgium. Both start the game with 2 territories and have ports in the North Sea. The addition of a port in the North Sea increases the value of Trade Income in this sea node.

• Zurich has been divided into the Zurich and Bern territories.

Developer Comments: Switzerland starts with 2 territories instead of 1 now. Looking at Switzerland, Belgium and Netherlands you can see they contain territories that are all roughly the same size. I intend to make most territories roughly this size. A territory the size of 2 Belgiums, will be divided into 4 territories. A territory the size of 1.5 Belgiums, will be divided into 3 territories, etc.

• The cost of actions is now shown on the action bar.

Developer Comments: When you select an action, it will show you the price it will cost to perform it. To construct a Factory it costs £10. To raise a Division it costs £4. To build a Warship it costs £20. To Transfer a Division, you need at least 1 Division in your Reserves.
