War Bonds - New Resource

18 Jul 2024, 10:58

We have some very exciting news to share! Meet Call of War’s newest resource: War Bonds! They will replace almost all functions currently paid for with Gold.This revolutionizes how Call of War is played, so read on to find out all of the details!

War Bonds are a new resource in the game, located in the resource bar at the top of the screen. They accumulate passively over time for free. War Bonds are used for all special actions, such as speed-ups, spy actions, morale boosts, and healing your units. So all players can now enjoy them the same.

Like other resources, War Bonds are tied to each map. So take advantage of your War Bonds to enjoy Call of War to the fullest.

There are some key differences to other resources. War Bonds aren’t produced by provinces. That means they accumulate at the same fixed rate for all players, regardless of how big their nation has grown or what gameday it is. Additionally, War Bonds can not be looted from defeated enemy players. And finally, they are not available on the stock market, or tradeable with other players.

So you might wonder, where does this leave Gold? Going forward Gold is only used to top up resources, including the new War Bonds. And of course you can still use it to unlock premium account features during map creation.

War Bonds are laying a strong foundation for the future of Call of War. They give us opportunities for future iterations and new features.

But most importantly, they level the playing field. War Bonds allow everyone to participate in all functions Call of War offers. This way, everyone experiences the same gameplay.

This also adds a new layer of strategic planning. Will you use them early in the game to keep the pace high and pressure your opponents? Or are you gonna save them for a rainy day, stocking them up for a push later in the game? The choice is yours, and we are excited to see how you’ll use your newly gained options on the battlefield!

War Bonds are going live with the next release on Tuesday, 2024-07-23! They are already available for testing in beta games, so Frontline Pioneers can dust off their entrenching tools and already do some testing.

We have also opened a dedicated channel on our Discord. Head there to discuss the upcoming change or ask any questions that you may have!

That is all for now Generals - we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Your Bytro Team

War bonds should be treated the same as any other resource, just like metal or oil. They are part of the game now and they are not going away. Instead of complaining about them we should try to find solutions to improve war bonds so more people are happy or satisfied with the state of the game.

Well said.

While I highly oppose Gold/WB usage, the fact is that this is the new reality of the game and we have to either accept that or quit playing. For me, I would appreciate an option to turn WB generation off in private/alliance games.

The only way to solve the war bonds crisis is by removing them completely.

I usually save most of my war bonds until the late game so I can reveal armies and heal my powerful unit stacks.
What I like to do is increase the morale of my cities on day 1 or 2, whenever I get enough war bonds to do that. It really helps make more resources quicker

So now EVERYONE can cheat! What is this game coming to?

I had mixed reviews on War Bonds. On one hand, as a non-gold buyer, I like being about to raise morale and heal troops without dropping 50k gold on the round. On the other hand, with everyone having access to War Bonds, who knows how many times other enemies have revealed my armies or decreased the morale of my provinces. I know that I can perform these actions as well, but I worry that it could be tough to keep up with everyone else, especially because I don’t think I’m active as often as some of the other players.

I like war bonds for the most part, I’m able to try out premium features that I’ve never used before. The only complaint I have is that the war bonds can be used to gang up on countries because they would only produce a fraction of the war bonds that the enemy coalition has.

Thats a good point. Maybe players with more cities could be able to get more War Bonds per day.

I think that larger countries would benefit more from bonus war bonds.

So reward players who use war bonds with more war bonds? What a retarded suggestion.

I remember they put out some operations where you could get more War Bonds, can we have some more of those please?

Who gave you the right to imitate the Pope’s likeness?

Damn you!

You’re basically asking “Give us free gold!”
Pathetic cheater.

So you want more cheating? MORE WAR BONDS = MORE CHEATING. What about that can you airheads not understand?

i hope they increase amount of war bonds or give more ways to get them. i love giving golders there own medicine!

Why are you being so mean?

6 Sept 2024, 21:36

Just posting here to say one thing: I very much appreciate that inclusion of more War Bonds in the HighCom benefits. Because HC is a very good and non-disruptive way to "pay for benefit" and donate to Bytro without giving yourself crazy annoying advantages. Though WB is a crazy gold action spammer in itself, it is still so much more civilized to purchase HC than to buy 100,000 gold and suddenly spend it all at the first object of your impatience.

If you have above 10k manpower, you're not investing properly. A good player never has many resources.
Larger armies destroy enemies faster without taking damage from them.
Build only: 1 military building in each city, airstrips, and recruiting stations to boost manpower.
Minimize research, 2 unit types early, 6 types in late game. Upgrade old units, but: artillery lv1 to lv2 is a waste, only lv1 to lv4 is worth it.
Enjoy

Yes, I like war bonds also.

Lack skill = like warbonds?

This is supposed to be a Strategy Game.

Not Dungeons&Dragons with mana and magic!

Anyone with even just mediocre skills was able to earn gold already.

There thus was no need for warbonds, unless for d.imwits that always go inactive or always get killed. Thus only the incompetent did not have a stash of free gold.

Warbonds cannot help them either.

STOP THE DUMBIFICATION in favor of P2W & fly-by phone players!

War bonds help if you use them the right way. I am able to match blows with a golder because of having war bonds saved up. If not for the war bonds, I would be dead.

Give an example and I will prove you wrong.

In anycase (e.g. the case that you cannot provide a valid example) there is nothing you can do more now with WBs, which you could not do with free gold from (at least) surviving games.

If you were unable before (for lack of gold = is lack of skill and/or dedication!!) you will still be unable now.
