Call of War News

After careful consideration and four weeks of extensive testing with the community, we’re moving forward with an update to streamline the resource system in Call of War. As part of this, two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game with the next update.

We understand this change is significant, especially for veteran players who value the depth of a complex resource economy. Our goal is to enrich the gameplay experience for all players. By simplifying resources, the game becomes more approachable for new players, while ensuring every choice remains impactful and rewarding for experienced players.

Meaningful choices and strategic depth

All provinces that produced the removed resources have been rebalanced to produce one of the remaining resources. We reworked resource production with balance in mind, making sure that the overall material output remains the same. So while the overall number of resources will change, the availability of resources to build up your nation remains the same.

This update is not just about simplifying gameplay - it’s about evolving it to create more meaningful decisions. This is why we redistributed the production costs of units. Where previously some tech trees had a bias towards specific resources, now there is greater variety. This makes unit build choices more impactful, creating a new layer of strategic depth to be explored. Especially in team play, resource allocation within coalitions will now take on a whole new level of importance.

Adjustments based on community feedback

Thanks to feedback from our dedicated Frontline Pioneers, we've made several important adjustments to ensure the rebalance feels authentic and remains anchored in the historic setting of the game.

• Production costs were fine-tuned
• Iterated on Building costs, creating more varied gameplay options
• Refined the rural production on some maps to avoid balancing issues with the various doctrines
• Rebalanced the efficiency of Urban Industry to open up exciting new opportunities for players to fuel their war machines, adding more depth to gameplay
• There was an unintended creep in Manpower costs when building units. Now the overall MP costs are on the same level as before.

Your input was instrumental in shaping this update, and we hope these changes create a dynamic and competitive experience for all.

Booster Cards

All existing Goods and Rare Material Booster Cards in your inventory will be converted to Money Booster Cards of an equivalent value. This way you can make your own choice on which resources you want to invest in via the Stock Market. This conversion will take place in the upcoming weeks. We will follow up with more information once we start the conversion process.

Generals!

In this week's event you'll only be able to rely on your own wits and skills to emerge victorious. Doing so in the regular Free For All event is already quite a challenging task, but doing so at increased game speed is truly a feat achievable by only the most competent of strategists.

In a 100p map with the ‘anonymous round’ feature enabled and no coalitions, you will be pitted against 99 other players in a struggle for survival. The event maps will start immediately after their creation with random country selection enabled and will run at 4x speed. Should no single competitor conquer the required amount of victory points before the time is up, the player with the highest total of victory points is declared the winner, earning not only a generous victory reward, but also the right to declare themselves to be amongst the best of the best.

Good luck, Generals!
