Version 0.2.0 Situation Room
#A clearer picture on the map: larger, more readable unit counters, a new battle window and detailed tooltips for provinces, units and all key values. Terrain now works per troop class, with frontage and reserves. Plus a public changelog, an expanded Kodex and a player handbook.

Battle window
War & terrainWar & terrainHandbookBattles, supply, terrain effects per troop class and frontage – why tanks win on the plains and fail in the mountains. FrontageFrontageMechanicHow many troops fight at once: 12 units per side × terrain factor. Whatever does not fit stands in reserve – large armies fight longer in narrow terrain, but not harder. ReserveReserveMechanicTroops that do not fit on the front. They do not fire and lose no strength, but take 10% of the organisation losses – they relieve the front and prolong the battle.

Kodex and handbook. The Kodex on the website now shows the research tree interactively and all units, terrain, buildings, goods and mechanics with their values – the same texts and numbers as the tooltips in the game. New is the player handbook, on the website and in the game under help.
In the Codex:First stepsFirst stepsHandbookFrom starting a campaign to your first construction project: map, time, panels and tooltips. ResearchResearchHandbookThe research tree as a timeline: branches, costs, researching ahead and the speculative future.

Improved
-
Map
Unit counters are noticeably larger and easier to read; grouped counters show their composition on hover. New setting “Unit marker size” (90–130 %).
-
Multiplayer
Multiplayer: free and abandoned nations are played by the AI, marked “AI”. Public campaigns and quick matches start with only a few players. Seats can be released in the game and campaigns archived; inactive seats are freed after a grace period.
In the Codex:MultiplayerMultiplayerHandbookCampaigns with others: finding, joining, agreeing on the speed – and what happens while you are offline.
Fixed
-
Performance
Fixed a short stutter on the first input after starting the game.
-

After a server restart the AI stand-in reliably takes over for absent players again.
-
Account
