Release Notes - 2021-04-13

Attention, Generals!

Today’s update allows for longer and bigger country names! We increased the maximum font size of country names on the map. This enables you to leave an even bigger mark on the map when expanding your empire's borders.

We also streamlined our victory and loss conditions in the game with this update. In case a player loses all provinces, the player is now marked as defeated even when still being active. With the mark the player loses any possibility to make a comeback in the game round. This should make frustrating moments like dealing with leftover armies a thing from the past.

We improved the access detection on Android devices too. This means that it is less likely for the app to state that the connection was lost, although the device is connected to the internet.

We also fixed the bug that could cause the unit number to be hidden in the low graphics mode. You find the unit number above the unit image again, when using the low graphics mode.

Please note, that all still-running Call of War Classic game rounds will be ended on April 27th 2021. Should you be currently playing a Call of War Classic game round, please keep this date in mind, to avoid any inconvenience.

Check out all the details of today’s update in this forum post!

We hope you like the improved country names and get to see them soon! We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!

Release Notes - 2021-03-29

Attention, Generals!

Today’s update introduces a gold confirmation popup for players on desktop, allowing you to prevent spending gold by mistake, just like on mobile. You can activate this feature in the game settings.

Furthermore, we re-introduced small army labels when zoomed out far on the map and increased the morale damage dealt by some units. We also switched the starting conditions for events in the game. Instead of waiting for an event to start until the event map is full, the map starts with its creation, allowing you to dive into the action right away.

Please note that with today’s release we will disable the old “Canvas” graphics mode. With the introduction of the new “Low Graphics Mode” in December last year, we made the decision to disable its predecessor, as it gets increasingly difficult to maintain with each new feature and update that is added to the game. Should you still use the old “Canvas” graphics mode on your desktop or mobile device, please switch to the “Low Graphics Mode” in the account settings.

Last but not least, planes on carriers at sea do not convert into convoy trucks when sent on a patrol mission anymore, nor do they fly on a detour to the next airfield to refuel. If you were hesitant to use carriers due to this bug as of late, it is time to re-introduce carriers as the backbone of your navy!

These are only the highlights of today’s release, for a full overview of all changes, please check the detailed release post on the forums.

We hope you like today’s update and wish you all the best on the battlefield!
