Release Notes - 2023-01-10

Attention, General!

Let’s dive right into this week’s changes! In the last update we changed how idling armies react to being engaged in close combat. The same changes are now also being applied to stealth armies. When attacked while idling, stealth armies will only defend. The army can still go on the offensive and attack, but it has to be actively ordered to do so.

Some of you are already using the new inventory system, but now is the time for everyone to get to use it. We are happy to let you know that, within the next few days, the inventory system will be made available to all players in Call of War.

Additionally we fixed a bug that caused the animation for rockets to reset mid-flight, made it so that the flight corridor of tactical bombers no longer blocks vision of objects below and corrected multiple UI related issues.

For the complete list of changes please check out the detailed Release Notes. You can share your feedback with us right here on the Forums and on our Discord Server.

We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!

Your Bytro Team

RIP to my quest to accumulate 1M gold

Thank you, Bytro, for continuing to repair and develop the game.

so can we still use gold? Can you convert gold to booster cards? Should I use all my gold?

What is this "inventory system"?

It's the booster cards AFAIK. Instead of getting gold for watching ads you get a card that's like "-1 hour of production time" or "+500 rare materials" or something like that

How do you get gold for watching ads?

I did not know that...

It's 2750/day, so not a ton but it adds up after a while if you are trying to accumulate it. I'm sitting on a good chunk right now...

I have some questions. Why have they decided to do this? What was wrong with Gold, that they decided to change? Were people abusing it or something?

And in what way is this better?

Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

I assume boosters are both more likely to be used and less abusable than gold but idk, that's just from thinking about it. They've probably got stats on usage and stuff and decided it was a good idea.

Gold-free matches, the kind that can be verified by the game operator or whoever, are also booster-free matches right?

yes, no you cant convert ( but you can buy booster packs in the shop ), no you can still use gold the usual way.

Correct. AWC and other gold checked games also check for booster cards.

I’ve gad boosters very early, so I know how they work. Basically you still will have gold like normal, and can get 1700 by watching ads, but now you also get cards like 750 of a resource or manpower, -3 hours production, -15mins research ETC…

So what happens if, or when, boosters replace gold? Will achievements or victory still be paid out in gold? What about creating private games?

I have full confidence enough players will still treat this as a pay to win game after the boosters have rolled out to everyone. Bytro still needs revenue. Boosters have been out there for testing to a select few for a while now.

In general gold won't be replaced in the foreseeable future. But we may change some additional rewards to boosters, or a mix of gold and boosters. So I can imagine that at some point you can also gain boosters via achievements or victories, but it is not set in stone right now.

Giving out boosters allows us to be a bit more generous without inflating the economy of the game with too much gold.
