Warnament News

Hi rulers! This update lets you mess with your fascist or theocratical countries in a whole new array of ways! But that's not it.

[h2]v0.9.2 Released![/h2]

• Political Institutions have gone through a serious revision, namely - Theocracy and Fascism have new political decisions for you to consider. Playing as a fascist ruler, you can instantly recruit several units of Shock Troopers and ban communism (which will, naturally, lead to having a penalty in diplomatic relationships with communist countries). And as a theocrate, you're allowed to ban marriages with people of different faith or casually declare yourself a living god
  
• Improved the game module responsible for the music. Never listen to the same tune twice in a row again! Also, the music changes as you switch from the main menu to the game, and vice versa
  
• Added an option to assign political institutions to countries in the Scenario Editor, which prevents awkward situations of having a bot plying for the Soviet Union instantly choose Monarchy for political institution
  
• New icons on the map: from army moving arrows to buildings
  
• Optimized map export and interaction with vertices in the Map Editor (for those of our players, who enjoy creating gargantuan-sized maps)
  
• Added a new language: Brazilian Portuguese

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!

Want some more Warnament? We got you! Here's what you can do:

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.

[h2]v0.9.1 Released![/h2]

• Added a new map: America
  
• Added a new scenario for the America map: the Civil War of 1862. Each country has its own set of potential reforms in that scenario. The good ol' U.S. can turn red, becoming the Communist States of America. There're also countries that aren't on the map by the time scenario begins, but might emerge as a result of revolts: for example, Cuba might secess from the Spanish Empire at some point
  
• Added music and sounds: the motors are roaring, the nuclear rocket launch causes static on the air, and much more!
  
• Political Institutions, Political Decisions and Technology Tree windows' interface updated
  
• Loading menu updated, added loading progress bar, background images updated
  
• Map editor updates: bug fixes and performance optimization

[h2]The Most Important Things About Warnament[/h2]

When's the release? We're aiming to go into Early Access by the beginning of 2024

What happens now? You can play Warnament's closed beta for as much as $0.99. It is updated bi-monthly, and includes map editor & multiplayer mode, along with the access to the devs’ eyes & ears

And what if I don't? There's also a free demo here on Steam. It doesn't have all the features but also gets regular updates, including some new content:

With that aside, let's finally talk about what's new in Warnament!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We know it's been a while since our last Dev Update, but the changes we bring you this time are, quite literally, revolutionary!

That is: a couple of weeks back we introduced strikes and rebellions, subsequently followed by good old separatism. Typically, things start brewing if you raise the taxes too high. Lowering them is an intuitive solution, but if that doesn't help, there are a bunch of political decisions for you to make and cool down the troublemakers. A couple of especially interesting decisions will be introduced for Fascism real soon (consider it a teaser).



Reacting to events can also influence the overall level of discontent in your domain, so answer wisely!

Remember: being left without attention, strikes may turn into full-swing separatist movements. In this case, you'll have to decide whether to let your rebellious provinces declare independence or to go to war with them.



But hey: if your people rise against you, at least you can crush them in style! Our great interface renovation goes on, and will keep us occupied at least until the end of the year. This time we've dramatically improved the window with overall country stats:





Also, the menu of Political Institutions was brought into correspondence with current UI/UX style. It has pretty pictures, too:



If you're participating in out closed beta, you probably noticed a bunch of important improvements in the map editor. For example, we added support for 8192x8192 maps. It will become useful for making large maps with a lot of provinces - like that epic World Map, that we'll add to the game in one of the upcoming updates!

We've also added Transform functions: you can scale and move all vertices on a map (useful when you want to adapt the current map to another .png). It will become especially handy in cases when you want to update an older map with a bigger background image.



And as always, we must remind that if you're looking for more awesome user-generated content (or perhaps looking into becoming a map creator yourself), you're always welcome on our very vivid Discord server.
