Version 0.1.0 – Millennium

New

• Campaign

  Campaign 2000–2075. Starting scenario 1 January 2000 with economic and population data from cited sources, and the alliances and governments of the time. Historical events accompany the years up to 2026, after that the world becomes speculative.

• Map

  World map and regional maps. Detailed world map with provinces, terrain, canals and straits, German and English place names and curved country labels. 14 maps in total – the whole world and regions – each with the 2000 scenario.

• Trade

  World trade along real routes. Goods travel along sea lanes, canals and land routes. Chokepoints such as Hormuz or Suez, blockades and transport costs affect prices; the trade map mode shows the trade arteries.

• Diplomacy

  Crises instead of push-button wars. Conflicts escalate step by step along an escalation ladder – from demand to ultimatum to war. Alliances, peace and occupation follow clear rules, and the AI plays by the same ones.

• Navy & air force

  Army, navy and air force. Battles with supply and occupation, fleets with aircraft carriers, commerce raiding and convoys, sea transport and amphibious landings, plus air forces. The starting forces of selected nations are based on documented inventories from 2000.

• Multiplayer

  Multiplayer campaigns. Server browser, lobby, matchmaking, parties with friends and chat. Campaigns keep running on the server; the AI stands in for absent players. Fog of war and adjustable rules.

• Economy

  Economy with markets, state budget, construction and production, plus business cycles: credit cycles, banking and debt crises, interest spreads and price shocks. Heavily indebted poor countries can receive debt relief.

• Domestic politics

  Domestic politics with personalities, parties and governments. Real people are shown neutrally and without portraits.

• Research

  Research with more than 200 technologies in 12 branches, a research queue and a research tree laid out as a timeline with eras. Getting ahead of history costs more.

• Interface

  A chronicle of your campaign with one map per year, map modes, a search palette, a context menu on the map and flags for every nation as of 2000.

• Getting started

  Guided tutorial in 19 steps with contextual tips, and a title screen with a live world simulation.

• Audio

  A dynamically generated soundscape right in the browser.

• Account

  One account for website and game: sign in with an e-mail link, a passkey or via Steam, Discord, Google and other providers, two-factor protection, friends list and data export.

• Website

  Website with a live world map, Codex (systems, all technologies and nations from the game data), community voting on the roadmap, an ideas board, playtest sign-up and newsletter. New: this changelog.
