Goods and Rare Materials have been removed from the game! This change applies to all newly created game rounds. Please read our update news from last week for more information on this change.

The Resource rework also comes with a balancing update to Industry buildings. We’ve slightly increased the initial build costs, but here’s the big payoff: Industry buildings now get a boost in production efficiency at higher levels. This means investing in urban production is a higher-stakes choice - but one that comes with even greater rewards!

Further, we’re thrilled to announce that rivers have arrived on the World map! Following the updates to the European and North American scenarios, rivers now also flow through the World Scenario. They are transforming the battlefield with dangerous choke points and new, surprising routes for naval attacks. Dive in and explore the revamped World at War map, or get ready to experience these changes in the next Free For All event.

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.

After careful consideration and four weeks of extensive testing with the community, we’re moving forward with an update to streamline the resource system in Call of War. As part of this, two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game with the next update.

We understand this change is significant, especially for veteran players who value the depth of a complex resource economy. Our goal is to enrich the gameplay experience for all players. By simplifying resources, the game becomes more approachable for new players, while ensuring every choice remains impactful and rewarding for experienced players.

Meaningful choices and strategic depth

All provinces that produced the removed resources have been rebalanced to produce one of the remaining resources. We reworked resource production with balance in mind, making sure that the overall material output remains the same. So while the overall number of resources will change, the availability of resources to build up your nation remains the same.

This update is not just about simplifying gameplay - it’s about evolving it to create more meaningful decisions. This is why we redistributed the production costs of units. Where previously some tech trees had a bias towards specific resources, now there is greater variety. This makes unit build choices more impactful, creating a new layer of strategic depth to be explored. Especially in team play, resource allocation within coalitions will now take on a whole new level of importance.

Adjustments based on community feedback

Thanks to feedback from our dedicated Frontline Pioneers, we've made several important adjustments to ensure the rebalance feels authentic and remains anchored in the historic setting of the game.

• Production costs were fine-tuned
• Iterated on Building costs, creating more varied gameplay options
• Refined the rural production on some maps to avoid balancing issues with the various doctrines
• Rebalanced the efficiency of Urban Industry to open up exciting new opportunities for players to fuel their war machines, adding more depth to gameplay
• There was an unintended creep in Manpower costs when building units. Now the overall MP costs are on the same level as before.

Your input was instrumental in shaping this update, and we hope these changes create a dynamic and competitive experience for all.

Booster Cards

All existing Goods and Rare Material Booster Cards in your inventory will be converted to Money Booster Cards of an equivalent value. This way you can make your own choice on which resources you want to invest in via the Stock Market. This conversion will take place in the upcoming weeks. We will follow up with more information once we start the conversion process.
