Release Notes - 2023-02-07



Attention Generals!

This update features various in-game bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. We reworked the army details panel, so you can better see HP of your armies and resolved several issues related to ‘at war’ state. When attacking a province center you and the player under attack will be automatically switched from ‘at peace’ to ‘at war’ which wasn’t always the case in the past.

We also implemented a "speed icon" that is displayed on the preview image of event maps with a higher speed factor than the normal speed. Especially for events that have different versions with different speed factors, this will be handy to distinguish them. Finally, we improved the text display in the marketplace menu for some languages and enabled previously turned-off notifications for diplomacy messages



For a complete overview of all changes, please check our detailed list of updates and share your feedback with us on the forums and our Discord server.

Best of luck General,
Your Bytro Team

Release Notes - 2023-01-24



Attention, General!

The game has become more beautiful. We have updated the background art on the landing page. It now shows the current CoW 2.0 map visuals and UI design.

Once again, our bug hunters were busy over the last two weeks. It is no longer possible to queue two of the same building simultaneously. Instead an error message will be displayed.
We also re-added the missing countdown timer in the pop-up tooltip for patrolling planes.

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

We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!
