Attention, General!

The previously announced changes to Spy Actions are live now. Go launch a new map and try it out! We are eager for your feedback, so make your voice heard in the dedicated feedback channel on the official Call of War Discord Server

Spies are not the only gameplay that is being rebalanced. We’ve noticed that the early game can be rather slow paced, making it not very engaging to play. That’s why we are speeding up construction and research times on a number of buildings and defensive units in the early game. Refer to the detailed Release Notes for a complete list of the changes.

And finally some bug fixes. The flooding of two French provinces on the Operation Supremacy map has been brought under control. We’ve also fixed missing confirmation popups, tooltips, and non-functioning info buttons to enhance the overall gameplay.

Attention, General!

We’ll be rolling out some significant changes to the spy functions in Call of War. After listening to your feedback and carefully analyzing gameplay data, we are looking to improve the experience of spying and being spied upon!

Spy actions are among the most powerful tool’s at a General’s disposal. After all, knowing your enemy’s weak points is more powerful than the most advanced technology or biggest army stack. But this also means they can become a big source of frustration for the player on the receiving end. Therefore we’ll be implementing the following changes on tuesday:

• Disabling "Disrupt Economy"
  • Rationale: This action sees minimal use and doesn't significantly impact gameplay dynamics.
• Disabling "Decrease Morale"
  • Rationale: Experienced players choose "Sabotage Building" for consistent results, making this action redundant.
  • Gameplay Impact: This function disrupts gameplay in a non-engaging way, as it shifts control of the revolting province randomly, making it less strategic.
• Disabling "Reveal Country's Armies"
  • Rationale: This feature is too powerful, allowing players to allocate resources and units too efficiently along their entire frontline.
  • Gameplay Impact: We want to avoid unsatisfactory gameplay where one player is being “farmed” as their opponent has perfect knowledge of their armies movements.
  • Technical Impact: This feature can cause performance issues on larger maps.

We also understand that these changes will affect your strategies. As this is a crucial change to one of the core mechanics of the game, we’ll be closely monitoring the impact. This is an initial test phase, and we will implement additional changes as needed. We encourage you to share your thoughts with us on our Discord server. Your insights are invaluable in making Espionage more enjoyable!

We are eagerly looking forward to your tales from the battlefield, and how the new rebalanced spy actions have changed your experience. Happy Sabotaging!
