We will be making important changes to the resource system in an upcoming update. Two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game. These resources, previously acquired by conquering provinces, will no longer be part of your war economy.
With fewer resources available, competition over the remaining three - Fuel, Food, and Steel - will become more intense, leading to heightened conflict and more meaningful economic choices. By making resources scarcer and more valuable, we give you a deeper, more rewarding strategic experience.
As this shakes up the very fundamentals of Call of War, we want to give our loyal Frontline Pioneers plenty of time to test this update. This is why we have already made the changes available in newly created beta games.
So start up a new beta map, and send us your feedback in our Discord server. This is your opportunity to influence how we iterate on the change before it hits the live servers for all players to enjoy!
With the removal of Goods and Rare Materials, we’ve given all maps a shake-up by redistributing the remaining resources. Discover exciting new opportunities to expand your economic might. We’ve introduced two new setups for rural production: a 4-1-1 layout, where one resource is more plentiful than the others, and a balanced 2-2-2 layout, where all resources are equally available!
To maintain overall cost balance, we also had another look at production costs. We used this opportunity to change the resource needs for different unit types. Before, similar units all used the same resources, but now there’s a lot more variety!
For example, now Interceptors mainly need Food, Tactical Bombers rely on Oil, and Strategic Bombers use a mix of everything. This adds a fun twist to your build orders and trading with allies - planning ahead just got a whole lot more rewarding for the discerning strategist!
We’re excited to see how you tackle these changes, and would love to hear your thoughts - make sure to share them with us right here or on our Discord.
Your Call of War Team!

To me, it sounds like Bytro is really out of touch with their playerbase and fan community. The fact that they released this update without ANY community polling or discussions seems very out of the norm for a video game. Most major gaming companies ask the players for feedback/suggestions BEFORE they actually implement the feature.
I think a Middle East map would be relevant given the current conflicts in the region.
seems like interesting change
will have to try out
great job......keep moving the game backwards.....guess it is time to walk away as the game is no longer enjoyable.
whats wrong with it
it is not really a war simulation game anymore but a popularity contest. You no longer need skill or tactics but a big wallet. Not really a true World War 2 game but a "cold war and let's pretend game".croatian kid wrote:

Go back to basics even if it reduces the number of players in a game, base it on facts of the era and the true countries involved.
Couldn't agree more... This game should be heading in a more realistic and complex direction, but noSkellcrafter wrote:
What would be much better:- new maps (Africa, South America, Eurasia, ...)
- Expand units (transport planes for armored support of paratroopers, mountain troops (but significantly weaken other units in the mountains)...)
- Deepen the strategy game (logistics?, encirclements, real rivers that are not crossed like oceans but with engineers or something, make terrain more important (tanks in the forest? --> Bad idea), ...)
- Make economy and resources more important (don't cut the number of resources, but set much stronger geographical priorities --> a lot of oil in the Middle East, a lot of grain in Ukraine and Russia, .... and less of it in other countries --> strengthen trade (maybe via AI countries), add coal to run industry?
...
And fix bugs and fill the empty positions in your support team, there is NOBODY who takes care of multi-accounts even if you report them by email
funny cuz i would accept a golden check from bytro to work on their bug rep staff
They released an America Homefront map with rivers a couple months ago.General Sherman wrote:

Me too. 200K a month would satisfy me.Taffyta Muttonfudge wrote:

Ah so we would have three different militia types Hamas, Hezbollah and Illegal Jewish settlers. We would need car bombs though and a facility that if coalition militia fighters messaged each other 30% of forces would mysteriously vanish or have 80% hit point deductions.General Sherman wrote:

And, one player can push a button that will have the enemy militia's pagers explode, draining half of their HP.BladeFisher wrote:

Seriously though, this update is TRASH!!!

Bytro, I have a few pointers for you.
- Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
- Don’t release a second major change/overhaul when the first one is still being tested/revised.
Totally on par with these posts.Skellcrafter wrote:

Bytro just doesn't understand how to make a game. Pretty soon all that will be left are golders who will spend atrocious sums fighting each other and Bytro will be reaping the dough.
Especially sad since the game itself is very good.
Wait, it's out?HenrikSchreiber wrote:

Where can I play a round with it?
I don't get the point of this.
Hmmmm...eliminate real resources so players need to rely on fake resources ie...purple gold. The end of a once great strategy game is here.
I would pay an entry fee to play Call of War games where there is a very limited, equal balance of purple gold/gold/boosters available to all entrants. (once balance is depleted it's gone and does not replenish).
What are beta games?
That's what I want to know.Michaelis wrote:
