Release Notes - 2021-10-26



Attention, Generals!

Today’s update brings a new Army List for the Beta client, that allows you to get an overview of all your armies currently in the game. The list can be sorted by various pieces of information and clicking on an army allows you to jump to the army's location on the map.

A new popup now warns you before attacking a friendly player and allows you to cancel your command or proceed with your declaration of war. Mobile Generals have a close button for the ending popup now, that allows you to read the newspaper of the game round and take a last analytical look at the game when the round has ended.

Apart from this, we also fixed a significant number of bugs, including some bugs still affecting planes in the game. 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!
