The Wolf Truce returns!

In 1917, several newspapers reported about a truce between the Germans and Russians on the Eastern Front. Big packs of wolves were starving and in their desperation, would kill soldiers that were resting and become more and more aggressive, prompting a truce to take out the wolves together.

When you play a match in Tannenberg from November 26th until December 3rd, you might hear a powerful howl throughout the battlefield. This means the wolves have gathered and are ready to hunt for you, your fellow soldiers and your enemy. If you decide to only attack the immediate threat - the wolves - you will earn a special Wolf Truce medal!

The Wolf Truce is based on newspaper reports and other documents which described the danger wolves could pose to soldiers on the Eastern Front. These range from sober warnings about the dangers wolves could pose to displaced civilians and the injured to this report in a US newspaper:




The in-game event in Tannenberg has seen some improvements over the previous event we held in March. Here are some of the improvements:

• Wolf spawning now distributes them depending on which sectors are occupied
  
• Pathfinding has been improved, wolves don't chase unreachable players
  
• The start of the Wolf Truce event within a match has been made more clear

If you have friends that would like to join the Wolf Event, now is definitely the time to recruit them for service on the Eastern Front. Tannenberg is 60% off from November 26th until December 3rd as well!
