Release Notes - 2021-02-10
Attention, Generals!
Today, we have some exciting news for you! Today’s update releases a revamp of the building and morale damage
in Call of War to newly created game rounds. With this rework, the calculation of building damage in the game gets finally reworked and re-balanced for all units. Additionally we also included damage to province morale as a separate value. This will help to better flesh out the roles of certain strategic units, such as Strategic Bombers as main building destroyers and Rockets as main morale destroyers. We highly recommend you read the detailed explanation in the forums before joining your next game round!
With today’s release we also extended the number of playable countries on the popular historic map “1939 - Historic World War” to 30 players. Now you can also play as British Egypt, South Africa, The Netherlands, Venezuela or Peru in this scenario. Hand in hand with this, a general rebalancing of the map based on community feedback was done. Additional urban provinces or sea connections to certain countries were added and additional starting units and resource production sites allocated. These changes are only in effect for newly created game rounds.
Apart from the revamp of the building and morale damage and the rework of the historic “1939 - Historic World War” map, a new sharing function was added on mobile. When tapping on the “Share” button at the top of the overview screen, you can send an invite link to any of your friends via any message application you like. This makes it easier to get your friends to play the next game round on your side, or to challenge them and show them your strategic skills!
Last but not least, we start to test the new Gold Rewarded Ads feature on mobile devices starting today. This feature allows you to watch video ads and receive free gold. In this first phase of the test we start with players who play on the Android app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. We might even bring this to desktop generals at a later stage.
This new feature might not be available to you immediately, as it requires the latest App version to be functional on your device and will be rolled out in several phases to all Android players. If you don’t see it yet, don’t panic. It will be available to all mobile players soon.
For a complete overview on today’s update and all its new features, balancing changes and bug fixes, please see the list below.

Also, I'd like to know if it is a new feature that hostile amphib landings can no longer be spotted unless there is a friendly unit present? So far owned provinces always showed when enemy disembarkment was in progress, but it doesn't do that in my latest game. Enemy units are only visible when they have finished disembarking. Is that supposed to happen?
Remember that there is a +/- 20% damage calculation. Also units are not always at 100% sbde.NoobNoobTrain wrote:
Not sure if this is the same thing, but could you give an example of how the value of building damage that the strat bomber does, corresponds to the hit points of buildings?All I can tell is, that it's not 1:1. A strat bomber that does 20 damage will barely scratch a building with 20 hit points. So how does this actually work? And why was the game not designed to let those values be directly comparable? Would have been a lot easier to use.
That does not explain it. Strat bombers did like 10% damage for the stated value. The health of buildings simply isn't the same variable as the building damage indicated on the bombers.

hitpoints = hp. So not sure what you are asking?Scrappy_ wrote:
what is the conversion between building hitpoints and building hp its kinda confusing
In games created after the update the conversion is 1:1. Meaning a Strat Bomber dealing 10 Damage will subtract 10 hitpoints from a building. This update does not change the calculation for old game rounds created from before the update though. And it also only affects 1.5 rounds.NoobNoobTrain wrote:

It has always been like that, no new feature.NoobNoobTrain wrote:

This was indeed the bug that was fixed in the new version. Seems you are still playing a game in an old version where this problem remains present. I just tested it in my own game in the new version and there it works as intended, with the bomber dealing the full damage value.NoobNoobTrain wrote:

It would have been cool if Iraq and Greece were converted to playable too though, as they also have 4 cities.
Why wouldn't it?Edward Miller VIII wrote:

Yea it would, 32 is half of 64!!! But in all seriousness it makes sense, Turkey will still border Bulgarian AI, Persia can just go to Afghanistan, also Yugoslavia can go to Hungary or Bulgaria instead of Greece, Iraq can easily rush Saudi Arabia, Greece has the possibility to take Bulgaria, so I'm not sure what your talking about in "wont make sense tho".Edward Miller VIII wrote:
