Do I need to do anything else besides run the latest version through the provided executable in order to get the mod features?

Just replace your current EXE with this new EXE.

Breaking changes are introduced only when we increase the version number (i.e. from 2.9 to 3.0). If the version number stays (you can check that in the first post), it's safe to update.

PS: You might want to add missing translations, which I usually provide in dedicated posts, if you don't want to wait for Dioxine to do it for you.

Question: If I have 2 training facilities, each one with a different training efficiency (one, say, 0.8, another one, 0.4), what is the real training efficiency of my soldiers?

If you're referring to "customTrainingFactor"... that's a global parameter (there's only 1).
I am not aware of any parameter on the facility itself.

[Dioxine]

Ah, thanks. I thought it was facility-specific.

Translations are NOT part of the EXE... and please note that I repeat this to you niculinux for the 3rd time now. Goldfish memory?

Either add the translation yourself, or wait for Dioxine to do it for you with next release.
