[h2]v0.8.1 Released![/h2]

• Rebalanced economics: now the overall economic level of a province has more influence on overall income per turn
  
• Color palette changed in the 'After Great War' scenario, also added new reforms for each country
  
• Fixed a bug with incorrect display of the list of the scenarios, if a player had several user-created scenarios with the same name on the list
  
• Increased the maximum length for a country's name from 32 to 48 symbols
  
• Many minor multiplayer-related bugs fixed
  
• 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]

Oh, what's this video all about? It's just another update on Warnament YouTube channel, which you're totally welcome to subscribe to! There's a new video every week, so come by to find yourself in the thick of the development process!

If you're not a video watching type, here's a short summary! We've got an interesting update for the scenario editor: it now allows you to create custom reforms! A ‘reform’ in Warnament is an event when a country evolves like a pokémon, and becomes something completely different. Like that time France became the French Empire or when some folks established the United States of Europe. Well, now you can create these events on your own!



You can create up to 6 reform for each country, which is convenient because there're 6 political regimes in the game, and you can create an option for one of each.



The latter is completely optional though. For example, on these screenshots you can see the Benelux Federation, which can be formed under any political regime. It does, however, have other condition: to be able to call oneself Benelux Federation, one must control the land of BElgium, NEtherlands, and LUXembourg simulatneously. Because otherwise it would be awkward.





And check out our new interface! The main game screen was completely reformed, which was totally worth it, because you, the players, will be spending 90% of your game time here!





The game looks more consistent now, which shows in (seemingly) small details, too: we have created a special palette for the game map, to avoid random/weird color combinations:



Getting to gameplay changes, bots can now issue ultimatums to you, demanding to stop aggression towards a country or to decrease the amount of your troops, if bots consider it too big.

If you do not comply within a certain number of turns, get ready for war:



Warnament is a rather easy to learn kind of game in the given genre, but now we leave no chance to not understand its rules: there's now a tutorial campaign that activates upon first launch of the game.

You will have some fun suppressing communist uprisings in Weimar Germany, returning control over the land temporarily known as the Free State of Bottleneck - and learning how to recruit troops, control your armies, and produce artillery on the way!

[h3]Up Next[/h3]

Now that the new palette is ready, we need to introduce it to the existing maps. Existing reforms must be implemented into the new system, and new reforms will be added as well. The plan is to make it so every country has multiple reforms to choose from, which will hopefully increase replayability.

We will also keep improving scenario and the map editors in the upcoming week. User-generated content is the fuel of Warnament, and we're so very grateful to our awesome community maps and scenario creators for the awesome job the are doing to entertain fellow players! By the way, if you're not on our Discord server yet, you're welcome to join at any time.

See you in a month, with more exciting Warnament-related news!

[h2]v0.6.2 Released![/h2]
