The first release of 2020 brings the next batch of graphical updates for units and fixes a large amount of bugs, including some quite infamous ones!
We began the appearance revamp of units end of last year. Today we take the next step with this endeavour and update the visuals of some of the most prominent units on the map - Infantry, Mechanized Infantry, Motorized Infantry and Militia. This week's graphical update brings the new look and feel in Call of War to the next level!
Despite working on the optics of the game, we also spent the holidays tackling a large amount of bugs that were on our and the community’s list. Gone are the days when you lost a province to an enemy although an ally had stationed troops there to protect it. We also fixed the bug that could make supply drops appear in allied territories.
Please find a full list of all changes below:
Graphical Updates:
We improved the visuals of Infantry units.
We improved the visuals of Mechanized Infantry units.
We improved the visuals of Motorized Infantry units.
We improved the visuals of Militia units.
We reworked the circle graphic visualizing the range of units to avoid confusion.
The range indicator does not have a gradient anymore.
The ring is now clearly displayed as only one ring.
We improved visibility of roads on the maps.
Roads are displayed twice as wide now.
We improved the visuals for the “send login” button in the account settings on mobile to make the button more recognizable.
We optimized some images for iPad.
General:
We increased the zoom level when using advanced graphic settings.
You can now zoom in closer for a better overview and more details on the map.
We decreased the snapping range when using advanced graphic settings to allow you to give more precise orders for your units.
This allows you for example to send troops close to a province center, without attacking it.
We added an icon in the production menu that indicates the armor class of units.
We added icons to production and research tabs on desktop.
Wind sounds are now only audible when zooming out.
We added a list of special unit properties at the bottom of the unit details panel on mobile.
The view range of a unit is now stated in the unit properties section within the unit details panel.
We added icons in the production and research menu that indicate the armor class of units.
We added icons to the production and research tabs on desktop.
New private resource offers now appear from time to time in the stock market.
Bug fixes:
We fixed a bug that allowed an enemy to take over a province while allied forces were standing in the province to protect it from enemies.
Allied forces stationed in a province now prevent an enemy taking over the province.
There will be no battle between allied and enemy troops unless war was declared between the two.
We resolved an issue in team games that caused supply drops to appear in provinces of players of the same team.
We resolved an issue that could prevent players from buying the last needed blueprint of a unit, due to the button disappearing.
We fixed an issue that caused an incorrect popup being displayed for some high command players when trying to create a new game.
We resolved an issue that caused the index of nations not being displayed in the newspaper on mobile.
Zooming in or out on mobile now adjust sound volumes.
We fixed an issue that prevented sounds of units being played on certain maps.
We resolved an issue that prevented team images from being displayed correctly in the newspapers in certain game rounds.
We fixed an issue that prevented players from changing their password, after they changed their username or created their account using Facebook or Google.
We fixed an issue that could cause the players own pc/mobile usage ratio being displayed in the profiles of all other players on a map.
Other players’ profiles now show their pc/mobile usage ratio.
We resolved an issue that prevented the correct page being displayed when searching for an alliance.
The rank overview in the game is now loading correctly again.
We resolved an issue that prevented usage of dots and commas on mobile when entering an offer on the stock market.
We fixed an issue that caused an error message to be displayed when marking too many planes on a map.
We resolved an issue that prevented the amount of resources automatically adjusting to the maximum amount of resources available to the player, when trying to trade more resource on the stock market than are available to the player.
We fixed an issue that prevented background images to be displayed correctly when using the Internet Explorer.
We resolved an issue that could cause advertisements compromising visibility of the day change timer on desktop.
We fixed an issue that could cause an error message to appear when a player left a coalition and tried to join a new one.
Coalition leaders now see notifications in case a player applied to join the coalition.
Scenario Rotation:
Dominion Antarctica (2020-01-28 - 2020-02-03)
Pacific Conquest (2020-02-03 - 2020-02-10)

My last 6 games have been played in the 39 historical map and got a winning streak going ... My 2 best results, in terms of VP's, have been Brazil and Italy ... My 2 worst results were USA and Turkey, the latter's expansion was affected by aggressive Elite AI countries, at one time time been at war with 6 of them because of my low popularity- I had very little sleep for a couple of days because they kept coming at me 24/7 ... I believe that newbies have a hard time handling Elite AI and perhaps they should be omitted in tutorial map because newbies have a hard time handling them ...

To be honest, I like the squad designs, I am just afraid of things being more and more similar to CON.

I actually like better the old visuals ... The new ones look busy and confusing ...

The squad visual looks cool but as Gus V says I am concern whether you get 20 "clumps" of soldiers when you have a few infantry units.

Agree ... Perhaps an internet game where the aggressiveness of RISK is combined with the economic/military/technology development complexity of Civilization, except that CoW covers a 6 year period (39 map) vs. about 6,000 years in Civilization ...

when you are producing militia, the logo change hasn't switched, it still is the old logo.
