Call of War News

We will be making important changes to the resource system in an upcoming update. Two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game. These resources, previously acquired by conquering provinces, will no longer be part of your war economy.

With fewer resources available, competition over the remaining three - Fuel, Food, and Steel - will become more intense, leading to heightened conflict and more meaningful economic choices. By making resources scarcer and more valuable, we give you a deeper, more rewarding strategic experience.



As this shakes up the very fundamentals of Call of War, we want to give our loyal Frontline Pioneers plenty of time to test this update. This is why we have already made the changes available in newly created beta games. So start up a new beta map, and send us your feedback in our Discord. This is your opportunity to influence how we iterate on the change before it hits the live servers for all players to enjoy!



With the removal of Goods and Rare Materials, we’ve given all maps a shake-up by redistributing the remaining resources. Discover exciting new opportunities to expand your economic might. We’ve introduced two new setups for urban production: a 2-2-2 layout, where one resource is more plentiful than the others, and a balanced 4-1-1 layout, where all resources are equally available!



To maintain overall cost balance, we also had another look at production costs. We used this opportunity to change the resource needs for different unit types. Before, similar units all used the same resources, but now there’s a lot more variety!

For example, now Interceptors mainly need Food, Tactical Bombers rely on Oil, and Strategic Bombers use a mix of everything.This adds a fun twist to your build orders and trading with allies - planning ahead just got a whole lot more rewarding for the discerning strategist!

We’re excited to see how you tackle these changes, and would love to hear your thoughts - make sure to share them with us on our Discord.

Continuing on in our efforts to finetune War Bonds, we are making more impactful changes rto Call of War’s latest resource. On all newly created maps, players will now start with 5,000 War Bonds instead of the previous 10,000. This limits the amount of havoc that War Bonds can cause in the very beginning of the game, letting players settle in better when joining a map.
Additionally, users with Premium Account will now enjoy a 20% increase to the production rate of their War Bonds. This means that the hourly production rate will go from 1,250 to 1,500, giving Premium users one additional special action per gameday.

We also fixed a bug that caused units stationed in allied territory to automatically attack instead of defending when engaged by enemies. Now, these units will correctly use their defensive combat stats.

Finally, we are in the process of implementing a moderation tool that automatically checks the newspaper for prohibited content. Please refer to our FAQ section on Helpshift if you have any questions about this change.
