Research is Key (April Fools)

1 Apr 2018, 11:15

Greetings Generals,

During war it is important to gain the upper hand on your enemy. This is the time when the War office has to come up with new technologies to give your military the upper hand, however to do this you will need money to invest in new research.

New Units:

Paratroopers: light infantry supported by transport helicopters for rapid intervention, especially effective deep behind enemy lines.
Attack helicopter: Heavily armed rotary wing attack aircraft, focusing hard or ehavily on armourd targets.

New Buildings:

Field Hospital: Increases healing rates of units stationed in a newly occupied non-core province, can be deactivated.
Bank: Increases tax (money) income in province also adds 15% province morale increase, can be deactivated.

Other Changes and improvements:

You will soon be able to independently select the flag of your nation and leader’s name.
Nuclear subs will now have the ability to transport and launch nuclear rockets.
Armies received the same army number, which is fixed.
Units that had 0% morale, 0 hitpoints and could not move shouldn’t appear in the game anymore.
On the Anatartica map, some flags in the province bar were missing, is fixed.
Map drag experience in Chrome has been improved.
Path randomizer, routes that you plan will be automatically adjusted for safer travels.
You will now have the ability to rename all unit groups to a name of your choosing to replace standard Identifier number (e.g. IF 3 could be Alpha Squad)
Diplomacy messages notifications remained when read and the game refreshed, is fixed.
Some map bugs in the worldmap (100 player) have been fixed.

We hope you like the changes. Tell us your feedback in the forum.

Have fun playing!

Oh good. I was wondering when this would be made public.

I have been waiting for paratroopers. just wish that you had a transport plane to go with them. But hey, now i can name my comando units Alpha squad, Omega squad, and Beta squad

is that 1. april joke?

1 Apr 2018, 20:49

I hope this is not a joke

I wish there was a option to surrender your units. that way you dont have to let them get destroyed.

Banks and Field Hospitals sound interesting, Helicopters in WWII just don't seem right, but I suppose you needed to find a way to program a fixed range for the paratroopers. Given the abstraction of nuclear ships the helicopter may make more sense if found out a ways.

Looking forward to paratroopers.

I will hold further comment until I see the tech tree.

I agree, Helicopters does not sound right on the time line, But they are awesome.

Are these changes for real? Or is this announcement an April Fools' Day joke?

There are a number of changes listed above, including paratroopers, which have been requested by a majority of users for years, but have been resisted by the developers because of programming difficulties ans perceived problems with balancing. Others, such as field hospitals, have been suggested but have also been shot down by a majority of discussion participants. And yet others, such as attack and transport helicopters and SSBN nuclear missile submarines, are anachronistic and have no business in a WW2-based game.

I await clarification as to whether these changes are real or an April Fools' Day joke before commenting further.
