[h3]v0.9.16 Released![/h3]

• Added darkening effect along the borders of all countries on the map
  
• Improved balance. Now it's too much easier to improve infrastructure, and improving infrastructure gives you a lot of benefits.
  
• Bots became a bit smarter (of course, not as smart as you, but they are trying!). Now they better organize the army, change the tax rate, and set the budget.
  
• Bug fixes and performance optimization (as always)
  

If you haven't done so already, please add Warnament to your wishlist on Steam! It is a very important metric for us, which brings the release of the game closer:

This is the best way to show us that you're waiting for the game to come out, and provides us with superior motivation for releasing the game sooner!

Hey rulers!

In this update, we're changing the rules for capturing provinces, to make it more realistic and interesting. Other peculiar changes have happened as well, see more details below:

[h3]v0.9.14 Released![/h3]

• Garrisons were added to each province. Subsequently, the requirement for a minimal amount of troops to conquer a province was removed. From now on, to secure a territory, one must completely destroy its garrison. Garrisons slowly recover during 10 turns, if they manage to survive an attack. The size of a garrison depends on the economics of the province where it's stated. Therefore, conquering an advanced province (like the capitals of states) requires more power - using artillery will be especially effective. Respectively, poor and faraway provinces can be taken with a modest amount of infantry
  
• Two new events were added, linked to the capitals of states. One of them alerts you when your capital is under attack, and the other one urges you to take it back, if it is captured
  
• UI now only displays resources that correspond to unlocked technologies
  
• Improved rendering of big maps, now they look prettier and no longer have problems with icons' display
  
• Map loading optimized
  
• Improved interface for technology tree and province menu
  
• Bug fixes for MacOS version
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented saving the game in multiplayer

You probably saw the "Add to your wishlist" message several times here on Steam. But what are all the developers asking it for, should you click that green (or blue) button, what is it?

You can add the game to the wishlist right here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1201700/Warnament/

Or you can do it on the game's page just under the video trailer, like this:


[h2]For players[/h2]
If you have a game on your wishlist you will:

• Receive an email on the release day
  
• See news about the game published by its' developer here on Steam
  
• Get notified about the discounts by email
  

You can always remove the game from your wishlist.

[h2]For developers[/h2]
The developer will know nothing about players who added the game to the wishlist. No email, no account name, no ability to send you a message - nothing. The only thing visible for the developers is the total number of wishlists
This number is a thing that can help the developers understand how much players are interested in the game, and how many additional features and level of quality they should consider to work on.

• 1,000 wishlists - almost nobody knows about the game, probably players don't want it or never heard about the game
  
• 1,000,000 wishlists - players absolutely crazy about that and expecting something really really good from the developers
  

[h2]Now you know what to do[/h2]
If you are interested - consider adding the game to your wishlist right now, it's like hitting the subscribe button on social media.
If you are not sure yet (or you waiting for the discounts) and want to see how the game is being developed to decide later - adding to the wishlist is the best option to tell Steam algorithms that you want to be aware of news and updates from the developer.

P.S. If you want to talk to developers directly, suggest some features, and get more involved in the making of the game - Discord and Steam Discussions are great for that. Or let's chat down below if you have anything to discuss!

[h3]v0.9.13 Released![/h3]

• Added scenario for World War II on Euro4 map. It includes a very deliberate rebellion system, along with diversified array of reforms for each country. We suggest you try playing it as different countries to learn the ropes. For example, you can reform the Soviet Union back to the Russian Empire, or do the same with the Third Reich, demaking in back to the Holy Roman Empire. Tread lightly though, due to the aforementioned rebellions: when playing as Spain, for example, there's a risk of Catalonia secessing. Additionally, you can establish Israel - or it will be established anyway, if the Jewish population starts a rebellion in respective region. And vice versa: an Islamic State might be stablished by a bot (or yourself) in the east. Third Reich's concentration camps' prisoners might also start a rebellion, etc., etc.
  
• Fixed a bunch of errors causing troubles in multiplayer games. Data transfer optimized
  
• Switching speed between maps when starting a new game is doubled, as is the speed of loading a saved game from the main menu
  
• Fixed bugs with random music volume level changing, political decisions for Monarchic stats, and other minor bugs
