Call of War News

Dear generals,

the time has come for another speed round event! Cancel all your plans and prepare for some short nights and long fights during the next 14 days. If no player or coalition has achieved a regular victory by that time, the player with the most victory points is declared winner. The end time is displayed in the game information within the newspaper and as a countdown on the right side of the screen. This scenario runs on the CoW 1.5 version, with new features and new balancing.

Settings for this speed round event:

• Player count: 100
  
• 4x speed
  
• starts immediately
  
• Free country selection
  
• players flagged as inactive after 2 real life days
  
• fixed runtime of 14 real life days after the game started (if not won earlier)

If you want to participate in this event simply go to the game list: Within the sign-up period new event rounds will be created on demand and shown on top of the list of new games. As soon as the map has started you will receive a notification to your inbox.

We wish you good luck and much fun!

Attention, Generals!

As of today our official Call of War Merch Store is live. Not only can you buy some cool T-Shirts, Mugs and Hoodies themed around Call of War there from now on, but you'll directly support those affected by the war in Ukraine by doing so.

We will forward 100% of all profits generated by any purchase from the Merch Store in 2022 to non profit organisations helping civilians who lost their homes and livelihoods because of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The shop exclusively features products which have been designed by us directly as we want to make sure that we only offer things we'd personally like to use or wear. When we come up with new designs that we think you'd enjoy too, they will be added to the shop in badges every couple of months.

The shop already offers a variety of things for different tastes. Whether you want to show off you're a loyal veteran of Call of War with a branded merch, prefer non branded general designs or want to make your friends laugh with inside jokes, you'll surely find something to your liking.

Attention, General!

Exciting news! Today we will give you a glimpse of the upcoming visual redesign of Call of War. Together with the previous gameplay changes of CoW1.5 this visual overhaul will form
the brand new Call of War 2.0!

The visual overhaul contains two major areas: A revamp of the user interface and a redesign of the map itself. The new map draws inspiration from military maps of the time. It makes the game more exciting and gives you the feeling of commanding your troops on a realistic strategic map with real terrain elements merged into it.



The revamp of the user interface gives CoW 2.0 a state of the art, modern look. It makes navigating the game more intuitive by restructuring over 140 gameplay screens and menus. All adjustments were made with the platform you use in mind, whether that is on mobile or desktop. Switching between the two will become easier, with many visual elements now being shared.



Call of War 2.0 is scheduled to be released on all platforms on Tuesday, July 19th.

You can already check out all of the changes by switching to the Beta-Client in your account settings on desktop.
As a Frontline Pioneer (beta tester/player) you will automatically get a taste of the new map and UI on mobile and desktop, as they will be the default version in beta games leading up to the release.
Share your feedback with us on the Forums and on Discord.

We look forward to hearing about your first experiences with the new client, until then best of luck on the battlefield!

Update
We have postponed the planned release date for CoW 2.0 to the 20th of July. This will give us additional time for testing and QA.

Dear Generals,

It is 1944: the Axis powers are on retreat and the Allies are preparing their final offensive. But the ending of the war is not decided yet... Will the Axis turn the tides of war in a decisive battle? Will Soviets and Allies clash inevitably, turning a looming Cold War into a hot one? In this 3vs3vs3 team scenario you can play as Axis, Soviets or Western Allies and change the course of history!

Event Details:

• Player count: 9
• Historical Europe map with borders of 1944
• Free selection among 3 teams
• Random country selection
• players flagged as inactive after 2 real life days
• Starts immediately
• Starting conditions are balanced historically
• 1x speed
• fixed runtime of 28 real life days after the game started (if not won earlier)

Attention, General!

Today’s update introduces the new Alliance and Coalition flag creator on the Beta Client for desktop and mobile. The editor offers a multitude of preset logos and colors to choose from. Head to the Alliance or Coalition settings pages to give them their own, personal look!
We’ve also made some visual updates in the Beta Client. The unit details panel was reworked and now features a render image of the actual unit, as well as a summary of the most common unit stats. We have also given a face-lift to the country selection menu, making what used to be a difficult task of choosing which nation to play more visually pleasing!

Additionally we fixed some bugs, which is good news for paratroopers! The convert button that went missing in action has been located and is returning to duty today.

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 on your campaigns!
