Attention, Generals!

Vast resource hotspots have been discovered in Antarctica. In order to support war efforts at home, it is on you to spearhead your nation into the cold continent and secure the wealth for your people as well as victory for your nation!

While resource hotspots are sparse they seem to have an infinite yield which makes them highly attractive for your warfaring country. But be careful, other nations will seek out these locations as well!

Your mission: Conquer and hold two of three Control Points for four ingame days to claim Antarctica's resources and get rewarded with 50,000 gold by your government!

What will be your strategy? Will you secure the Control Points for an early victory or will you fight over the valuable resource hotspots to sustain your army?

Attention, generals!

The first release of 2020 brings the next batch of graphical updates for units and fixes a large amount of bugs, including some quite infamous ones!

We began the appearance revamp of units end of last year. Today we take the next step with this endeavour and update the visuals of some of the most prominent units on the map - Infantry, Mechanized Infantry, Motorized Infantry and Militia. This week's graphical update brings the new look and feel in Call of War to the next level!

Despite working on the optics of the game, we also spent the holidays tackling a large amount of bugs that were on our and the community’s list. Gone are the days when you lost a province to an enemy although an ally had stationed troops there to protect it. We also fixed the bug that could make supply drops appear in allied territories.

Please find a full list of all changes below:

• We added icons to production and research tabs on desktop.

  • Allied forces stationed in a province now prevent an enemy taking over the province.
  • There will be no battle between allied and enemy troops unless war was declared between the two.

• We fixed an issue that prevented background images to be displayed correctly when using the Internet Explorer.
• We resolved an issue that could cause advertisements compromising visibility of the day change timer on desktop.
