Mobilization - Global Android Release

Dear generals,

with today’s update we are happy to announce the global launch of the S1914 Android app! Starting today with selected European countries we will release the app globally over the course of this week. Head to the Google Play store and pre-register now to be notified when the app arrives in your local store. For our loyal iOS generals: Fear not! The iOS version is on the way as well and will be released soon.

In addition, we have been working on further map improvements (including unit positioning/selection and performance optimizations) and a large number of bug fixes. You can find a comprehensive overview in the change log below.

What is more, we improved the way social play works in Supremacy 1914 by tweaking the alliance, coalition and team game feature set:

• We brought back the coalition chat which had not yet made the transition to the new game version.
• We brought back the option for alliance leaders to message all alliance members at once.
• We enabled shared team chat and diplomatic team conversation in team games.
• We enabled shared team victory rewards and achievements in team games.
• Anti betrayal measures: Players of a team or a coalition can no longer change their relation to members of other teams or coalitions to anything better than peace (e.g. shared map is not possible).
• Team players who become inactive no longer fall back to Right of Way but stay at Shared map at all times.
• We removed the team balancer when joining games: Players can now choose their team freely and don’t need to even out teams in the selection process.
• In team games, solo victory points and solo rewards are no longer displayed in the Newspaper.

You can find the list of all changes below. We hope you like it and look forward to your feedback on the forum.

Your Bytro team
