Dawn of the Patriot



Attention Generals!

Rewrite history by either saving or conquering the American heartland in our Dawn of the Patriot event!

In this exciting scenario the Axis won the war and established colonial empires in North America. While Japan exploits the west the Germans claimed the eastern shores of the former Land of the Free. But resistance is growing in the heartland of the fallen states and patriots are reclaiming the heritage of the Founding Fathers.

Liberate the United States from foreign occupation or defeat the uprising patriots in the center of the North American continent in this alternative history scenario!

Free For All - Speed Event




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!

Happy Holidays



Happy Holidays!

As the snow blankets the battlefield and festive lights shine over your territories, we’re taking a moment to wish you peace, joy, and plenty of victories both in Call of War and in life. Regardless of where in the world you are, or how you choose to celebrate, we hope this season brings you holiday cheer and warm memories.

To make this holiday extra festive, you can join the Call of Christmas event maps to celebrate in merry style. Take over Antarctica in this only available once-a-year classic, and get rewarded handsomely with bountiful prizes. And of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a gift - so check in the Operations window for your own little package from Santa himself.

As we look back on the year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you: the grizzled veterans and daring newcomers, the chat celebrities and newspaper poets, the master tacticians and fearless warriors - and of course to all those behind the scenes who brought the game to life. It is your alliances, battles and stories that make Call of War come alive. We are grateful, and humbled, to have such a vibrant community.

We once again want to wish you warm, wonderful holidays and hope you spend a good time with your loved ones. Our eyes are already set on the next year, and we can’t wait for what adventures it will bring.

Release Notes



We’ve been closely monitoring the impact of the recent Resources Reforged update. From the feedback you all provided it has become clear that there is a shortage of Oil in the early stages of the game. This is why we’ve shifted costs on some units and buildings over to consume the more abundantly available Metal instead. This evens out resource consumption across all stages of the game, leading to a smoother gameplay experience.

Also we are testing improvements to our tutorial maps. Some of our Clash of Nations tutorial maps for new players will now start at war with a neighbouring NPC country, have a rebalanced starting unit setup and a few quality of life improvements. Check out the detailed Release Notes below if you wish to know more about this. Please note that this change is still in testing, and as such only available to a selected number of new players.

Further we fixed an immersion breaking bug on the 1939 - Blitzkrieg and Road to war scenario maps. The flags for many of the countries were mixed up. Now the correct flags are displayed next to the country nametags. Patrolling air units no longer apply the wrong province morale damage, instead applying the correct 50% damage per damage tick. And finally, we fixed an annoying bug on the World at War map, where a province in Mexico paid out ten times the intended Manpower per hour.

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.
