It's that time when the wonderful Roadmap is presented! It's a bit longer because there are lots to say we recommend checking out the video within. This roadmap showcases all of the upcoming plans we have underway, addresses some existing priorities that are being worked on, and helps lay out a course that focuses greatly on enhancing "gameplay" with a fair dose of content being added. This roadmap also offers a survey that enables every player to have a serious vote in the top three priorities for Production & Development plans - your feedback matters! (See the full article for the survey)

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE GETTING STARTED

• You can watch the live stream recording on YouTube (here) ~ highly recommended.
• Roadmaps are designed to be "Goals" and CRS reserves the right to make adjustments as needed
  
• Unless otherwise stated, CRS will aim to add previous goals not fulfilled to the top of the new Roadmap to complete
  
• We discussed the possibility of reverting our price back as of June 2022 (see video for context here 52:16)
  
• In March 2022 there will be a funding drive taking place for WWII Online, details to follow.
  
• New Roadmap Trello initiated here: https://trello.com/b/rxW9mey5/wwii-online-roadmap

S!

CRS over the past several weeks has been having marathon meetings as we discuss and review 2022 items. The initial first pass has been completed so there are several more meetings scheduled as we look into the year ahead. As Xoom indicated via Discord, you as gamers will have some input into what our focus will be for 2022.

Meanwhile CRS listens to your feedback across all of the platforms associated with the game and as such, we have tweaking several aspects for the current campaign #186.

• Tiers are scheduled to change at 9-day intervals. Note - this is subject to change WITHIN the campaign dependent on various factors.
  
• New Tier Added. We now have 5 Tiers (Tier 0 , Tier 1 ,Tier 2 , Tier 3, Tier 4) - Tiers 1 thru 3 will have the normal combatant nations of the Allies and Axis. The introduction of the Americans will occur in Tier 4 representing 1943-1944. Note - CRS continues to evaluate and review each campaign and tier. There could be future changes based upon various factors.
  
• Ground garrison supply numbers have been reduced from 0% to a maximum of 20%; depending upon the number of pieces of kit within the garrison. More abundance pieces of equipment will be impacted while few pieces of equipment or infantry classes will be nominally or not impacted at all.
  
• Air garrison supply has also been reduced
  
• Steam DLC players will see an increase in low-tier aircraft
  
• NO SUPPLY REDUCTIONS to moveable units (ground, air, or sea)
  
• the 10sec despawn time is set to "0"
  

Where's the Roadmap / upcoming updates? For your awareness, CRS has been heavily engaged in planning this year's roadmap and fine tuning all of the pieces, quite a bit more heavily than we normally do to make sure we have solid estimates and clear expectations with you. Very soon we will be publishing our official roadmap (near the end of this month) and it will contain important details of what's to come this year. It will focus on WWII Online, WWII Online 2.0 and of course WWII Online: Chokepoint plans. And for the first time ever, WWII Online will be reaching out to you - our valued players - to help us add weight and priority to which items are most pressing to get done first from your perspective.
