Game Management 2.1

Dear Generals,

At first, we want to inform you about an important change which is scheduled to be released on November 7, 2017:

  • It will be possible to win as a coalition. Coalition win is declared when coalition members have reached a total of 80% of a map’s victory points. Solo wins will still be possible and triggered when a player reaches 60% of a map’s victory points.
  • This change will affect running games once the update is released. This means that some games will end early if there is a coalition present which meets the victory conditions by that time.
Further improvements:

  • You will now be able to see the flag of the country you are playing in your game list.
  • Players of ‘starts when full’ games will receive a PM and an email when the game starts.
  • The research panel received a better visualization of the current day.
  • If you unlock a new map the level up pop up will show you which one.
  • Players will no longer be able to join running games after a certain amount of days. This varies between 7 and 10 days depending on the map. This might change in the future still and can also be applied differently to event maps. We made this change to limit account pushing, multi account and wolfpacking.
Bug Fixes:

  • Alliance games will no longer count towards the game creation limit.
  • Players should now instantly be able to create maps if they reach the required level.
  • Event games are now highlighted above regular maps in the games list.
  • Maps that can’t be joined anymore won’t show up in the suggested games pop up.
  • We also renamed the Airplane Carrier to Aircraft Carrier (English only).
We hope you like the changes and look forward to hearing your feedback on the forum.

So it is the 7th now,when or at what time do the new coalition rules kick in? Day start or day end.It is not so clear .

If I missed something then I apologise ,but for me the 7th of November means at the start of the day not the end..

Thank you in advance.

My feeling is that sometime before quitting time in Hamburg on the 7th they will roll out the update. Frequently 8am eastern US time on tuesdays give or take an hour or two. Players online at the time will get the message: We have improved the game, please reload"

If I understand correctly any game currently meeting the coalition win conditions will end immediately when the update is rolled out, rather than wait until day change.
