Military Update

We have just released a new military update focusing on economic costs, the utility of ships, and the ability to recover in longer alliance wars.

Military Research

Military Research is the headline feature of this update aimed at providing an alternative way of improving military power outside of buying cities. This new module allows you to purchase permanent upgrades to your unit caps, unit purchase costs, and upkeep costs. This module also comes with 2 new projects. First, the Military Research Center, allows you to begin purchasing military research and also increases your project cap by 2. The second, Military Doctrine project decreases the cost of buying military research by 5%. Your research can be reset at the cost of 1 credit, refunding your cash investment but not resources. You can find military research on your military page, enjoy!

Military Page

Speaking of the military page, it has received a major facelift. You can now buy all of your military units on the same page! It also has options for buy all, sell all, and a special option to buy in the standard MMR format used by many alliances. We are still collecting feedback on this page and it may receive tweaks over the next couple weeks.

Ship Rebalance

Ships have had significant balancing changes made. The most important is they now have 4 attack options similar to planes.

• Target Infrastructure: Does the original infrastructure damages and 30% Reduced Naval Casualties
• Target Ships: Does 30% Reduced Infrastructure and 30% Increased Naval Casualties
• Naval Ground Defense: Does 30% Reduced Infrastructure, 30% Reduced Naval Casualties and Removes Ground Control on immense triumph.
• Naval Air Defense: Does 30% Reduced Infrastructure, 30% Reduced Naval Casualties and removes Air Control on immense triumph.

 Additionally all naval battles now have 20% more ship casualties for both sides compared to previously. And finally ships have their operation costs reduced. Gasoline has been reduced from 1.5 to 1 gasoline per ship per battle. With munitions reduced from 2.5 to 1.75 munitions per ship per battle.

Cost Tweaks

Some units have had their upkeep or purchase costs changed to address economic imbalances between units.

Upkeep

• Ships > Reduced to 3300 during peace & 5000 during war (Previously 3375 & 5062.5)
• Planes > Increase to 750 during peace & 1000 during war (Previously 500 & 750)

Purchase Costs

• Plane cost increased from 5 aluminum per plane to 10 aluminum per plane
• Nuke cost increased to 1000 aluminum, 500 gasoline, 500 uranium
• Missile cost increased to 150 aluminum, 100 gasoline, 100 munitions

Beige Buff

Players in beige with no active wars will see an increase in the number of soldiers, tanks, aircraft, and ships they can recruit per day by 15%. This effect is additive with the Propaganda Bureau project. The goal of this change is to allow knocked down players to return to fighting more easily. The design team acknowledges that this change may be somewhat underpowered but wishes to see it in play before making any further adjustments.

Reasons for Update

To round off this change a explanation of the thought process from the Design Team Lead Keegoz.

It has been clear for a while that whales need other investment options away from cities, as late game content becomes thin. This update is very much intended for those in the higher to whale tiers, and that’s why there is a project cost, to avoid having it be a noob trap but also to avoid someone trying to unbalance the lower tiers.

My hope is that if this is successful, we can expand further upon it with more upgrade options and possible projects for upgrade cost reductions. Furthermore, I would like to see a similar econ one created in the future. It also adds another resource sink to the game.

March 2025 Test Tournament Results

I am now also able to announce the results from the latest tournament over on the P&W test server. Unfortunately, during standard review of the results it was determined that several players gained a competitive advantage through unfair trading practices and they have been disqualified. The results published below are from the remaining nations. The staff team has taken note of this incident and will be taking additional measures in future tournaments to preserve their competitive integrity.

The rewards for general participation should be distributed in the next day or so. Leaderboard prizes may take a couple days longer.

Top Alliance by Score and Treasures

Both alliance categories were won by the Test Server Alliance and you can watch out for their two flags coming soon to the default flag selection.
