Call of War News

In this update we’re going to have a look at one of the most fundamental aspects of Call of War: The Economy! More specifically, we are going to change production costs for all units in the game.

We are aiming for multiple effects with our changes:

• Economic choices, and what units are prioritized in production, matter more in the early game
• We want to shine a spotlight on higher level units, so we are simplifying the access to them
• Bigger focus on preserving and upgrading already existing units, rewarding long term strategic planning.

To that end, we are slightly raising resource requirements for production in the early game, while lowering costs a bit in the late game. Compared to the current balancing, prices rise the most for Lvl. 1. Each following level is seeing a smaller increase. The overall tipping point happens at gameday 10, after which unit levels become progressively less and less expensive.

For a detailed, by the numbers breakdown of the changes, please head to the detailed Release Notes.

All balancing changes are now available on newly created maps, so go test them out!

We are going to deploy more frequent balance changes so that our best and brightest commanders can show off their skills, coming up with new strategies as the battlefield evolves. To make these balancing iterations a success, we are relying on your feedback. We have set up a dedicated feedback channel for everything balance related, so that you can make your voice be heard.

We are looking forward to hearing your stories from the battlefield, your thoughts on the changes or what your vision for future updates is!

We've got a new update with some important tweaks and fixes to enhance your gameplay.

Now you can easily see what's being given and received in trades with a single glance, reducing errors and helping you spot scam trades more easily. This brings the desktop experience up to speed with what mobile players have been enjoying already.

We fixed an issue where armies couldn't engage in battles in another player's province if they had Right of Way. Now, the idle army must be defeated first before you can capture the province. No more sneaky bypasses! And we also corrected an annoying bug that prevented attack orders from being issued against neutral armies close to a border.

For a complete overview of this update, please check out the detailed Release Notes and share your feedback with us on the Forums and our Discord Server.

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!
