Balancing Changes - 2023-11-14



Attention, General!

Your feedback has been received loud and clear! We are rolling out balance changes to one of the most notorious units in Call of War: the Railroad Gun. With its combination of firepower, mobility and early availability it has become a jack of all trades that makes building other units inefficient.
To curb the Railroad Gun’s early game power we have split it into two levels. Level 1 is a weaker version of the current unit at slightly reduced build costs. Level 2 will become available much later in the game, has greatly increased build costs and requires a Level 5 Secret Lab.
With these changes we are aiming to create some space for alternative build paths, while preserving the unit’s unique character as the wide reaching, heavy hitting king of the artillery.
You can check out the newly rebalanced Railroad Gun by starting a new map right now. Already existing game rounds are not affected by the changes.

We also fixed a bug that gave Pan-Asian planes an unfair advantage in air-to-air combat. Pan-Asian planes would not take defensive damage if their patrol radius only overlapped slightly with hostile planes. Now they will take the correct amount of damage, regardless of how close or far their opponent is.

And finally, we also improved the visual design of the particle effects system. Bombs and artillery shells will now cover a wider area with multiple small explosions, leading to a more natural looking visual effect.

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.

Best of luck General!

Release Notes - 2023-11-02

A new update has been released, check it out!
Updates to the visual design of Unit Cards, the addition of Flame Tank stats to the player profile, and a bugfix for submarines.

In this update, we addressed several issues. We improved the visual design of Unit Cards by adding colored backgrounds for different Card levels. This way you can easily select the correct Card to deploy for combat.

Further, we fixed a bug that prevented Flame Tank statistics from showing on the player profile page. And submarines set to “Fire At Will” will no longer let enemy convoys pass by without engaging.

For a closer look at the changes please check out the detailed Release Notes and share your feedback with us on the Forums and on our Discord Server.

Best of luck General!
