Balancing Update & Release Notes



Release Notes - 2021-11-10

Attention, General!

Today’s release brings a large number of balancing changes to new game rounds you join. These changes affect units, Doctrines, economy, AI and more. The changes are designed to improve unit balancing and make it more viable for players to use a bigger variety of units in their game experience.
We highly recommend you take a moment and read the list of balancing changes in today’s release notes linked below.

We also took the opportunity for some tidying up in the game.When you check your inbox in the game, you will notice that you have the option to filter the messages and either display or hide both “Player messages” and “System messages” in your inbox. This was suggested by the community and the implementation of this great idea should allow you to easily find any message you are looking for.



We also removed articles announcing trade embargoes from the Daily European. This change should make sure that you do not miss more notable events happening in your current game.

Finally, we resolved several issues with planes that were haunting players even after Halloween. As usual, please check out the Release Notes on the forums or on Discord for a complete overview of all changes.

We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!
