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!

The AI got smarter



Release Notes - 2021-10-12

Attention, Generals!

Some of you might have experienced that when the AI took over the reign from you for a bit, you ended up with some unwanted propaganda offices in your provinces. As useful as these offices are, they for sure have their own time and place in a match. We are happy to let you know that we have addressed this issue according to your feedback, and that the AI is focusing on military buildings in the early phase of a game round. You might still see a propaganda office every now and then, but most buildings will help you to build your future armies.

We are also happy to announce that pilots do not issue the self-destruction of their planes when the carrier they started from receives an upgrade, or that they have to fly around the entire globe to reach certain locations on the map. To all of you who like to command a big air force, this should make your game experience much better.

Last but not least, we addressed an issue where you couldn’t sell resources on the stock market, if you couldn’t afford the trading fee up front. With today’s update this is a problem of the past.

We fixed, changed, and addressed a lot more with this update, so we highly, highly recommend you to take a close look at today’s release notes on the forums or on Discord to get a full overview on the bouquet of changes.

Fasten your seatbelts, bring your tray tables in an upright position, and enjoy your fully functioning planes on the battlefield!
