In this update the scene graphics have been improved, and experimental rendering styles and a brightness setting have been added. Many water units now have an elliptical shape instead of a circular one — collisions and hits are counted against the hull rather than against the circle drawn around it. Movement has been reworked: horsemen, fast vehicles and ships now accelerate and turn smoothly while moving, and chases finally make sense — the pursuer cuts the target off along its course, and a shooter backs off exactly far enough to turn and fire. Slow on hit has been split into two tiers on th

In this update we’re rolling out a major rework of late–game ground warfare and Wonder victories. Super-heavy tanks now truly feel terrifying on the battlefield, gaining the ability to crush enemy infantry, while many armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons receive powerful slowing effects on hit. The rules for winning by Wonder of the World have also changed: the base victory time is shorter, but each additional Wonder in the match will now delay the outcome, giving opponents more room to react.Alongside these changes, we’ve improved aircraft pathing, increased regeneration for all living unit

When the damned armies fell, silence did not follow. From beneath their bodies poured a thick, putrid green fog, and the earth beneath them hissed as if awakening in pain. The dead grass blackened, curled, and from the cracks crawled roots — like hands reaching toward the sky. With a rasp that froze the blood, the souls of the warriors tore free — grim, glowing with the sickly light of decay and rot. They howled, as if a thousand throats screamed at once, and began to swirl in a spiral above the field. The air trembled, and the souls, rising into the heavens, dissolved into the dark clouds, le

Hi friends! We’ve released a small but important update to community maps with mods.We went through community maps and updated their connected mods to the latest builds. This reduces the number of crashes and, in some cases, even restores functionality to maps that were breaking due to outdated dependencies.As the game evolves, older mod versions can stop working correctly. We continuously update all mods created by our team. But without timely updates of the connected mods, maps may start malfunctioning or even fail to launch.If you maintain your own maps, please check the list of connected m

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34645247/f0af760a649aba4f52187a47acbed2330cd65637.jpg Hi friends! We’ve released a small but important update. We’ve significantly optimized the game’s core gameplay systems. Additionally, island maps will now appear less frequently in team matches. On island maps, it’s now guaranteed that at least 10% of the map area consists of uninhabited islands. Thank you for playing and supporting us - especially for your feedback and replays. We’ll keep polishing performance and the map generator! Enjoy the game!
