Hi everyone! About a month ago, we made a poll about the ranked rating reset. To quickly refresh the memory, the idea was to reset everyone’s points back to the starting position to refresh the race to the top and how many points you get for every win. This was never done before, which made rankings a bit stale, especially for those who populate the top spots.The results of that poll were overwhelmingly in favour of such a reset, 89% in favour, in fact! But we do not wish to create a band‑aid, one‑time solution, as it will eventually lead to the same problem after some time.So what will be don

Hi everyone! Let’s talk about the League Points in Men of War II.Since the release, there has been no reset of those, which led to a stalemate in the ladder. The top cut became permanent, and no amount of games by players from the middle of the pack could change that.This is why we are thinking about resetting those points for everyone back to zero every three months, to add motivation for those who are striving to get higher.But we need your feedback on this decision, as there was nothing like this previously in the game, and we do not want to add too much unwanted disruption.Here’s why we cr

Greetings, Commanders! The eleventh month of the year has come, and with it, the annual global "Movember" event; dedicating all of November to raising awareness of men's health issues, such as mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. This year, Men of War II is stepping up and participates in this endeavour, by becoming a part of the Movember Game 'Stache Charity Bundle, along with titles like Schedule I, Mon Bazou, Gloomwood, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and others; you can see the full list and purchase the bundle here. Please, consider donating even more than the

Greetings, Commanders! We’ve been silent for a while; we would like to apologize for that, thank you for your patience and reassure you – the game has not been abandoned. However, as many of you have guessed, the situation surrounding updates and new content for the game is complicated, and we did not want to overwhelm you with background details. What we can say is that a new patch does exist - and its most notable feature is a complete overhaul of the in-game UI. At the moment, the update is not yet ready for release on Steam, but efforts are underway to resolve the remaining steps required

We have just published an update fixing various bugs and issues, including a critical problem which prevented some players from starting a game. That's not all, however, as the patch also brings a host of balancing and modding/editor improvements.

This prevented some players, especially in China, from starting games (both single-player and multiplayer). Balancing Changes Pz.Kpfw. I

We have hinted at it before, but we've been working on another major update for Men of War II - and today is the day, the Firestorm Update is Live! As usual, the full change log is available at the end of this article, but the absolute highlights are the new flamethrower-based units - 13 vehicle types in total and each nation gets a new flamethrower infantry squad to boot! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41550994/1e9f31ae7e54e23baceb3d9f6054f832751fd63d.jpg That is not all, however; significant improvements have

We're thrilled to announce that we're hard at work on the next major update, which is now in the final stages of testing and polishing. Alongside various new features, improvements and bug fixes, this update will bring exciting new content that should provide plenty of warmth in the coming winter months. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41550994/049635cdfe279ccd9b4fd951ad74e00dfb2c9658.png What’s Coming in the Ne

Not long ago, we brought one of the most requested features into the game - the offline mode for single-player, along with many other changes, performance improvements, fixes, and new content (see the announcement here for full info). This also marked a significant milestone in our post-launch development, but by no means does that mean we are done improving the game - in fact, we are currently testing another important update. We will publish it in the next few weeks if all goes well! Big Update Co

Men of War II from Best Way originally released back in May, but it forced an online connection. With the Steel Rain update out now that's no longer the case. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/men-of-war-ii-finally-gets-an-offline-mode-with-a-big-content-update

History and strategy games go together like butter on toast. Nothing beats taking a birds-eye view of the battlefield in Total War, marveling at your utopia in Civilization, or managing the minutia of society in Victoria. In that vein, Men of War 2 joins WW2 with real-time strategy like nothing else, and it's just had a huge, free update. Not only has its most-requested feature finally been added, but there are plenty of new ways to play too. Oh, and it's on sale. Read the rest of the story...

Today is the day - we are excited to announce that we have just published the Steel Rain Update for Men of War II for all our players! It brings many highly requested features, including the most asked-for one; the offline mode. But not only that: all single-player games (including lobbies against AI, Conquest and Raid) have the option to change the game's speed; the quality of the game world simulation will now improve based on the power of your PC; units in a squad now have an inventory sharing sy

In a recent poll we've asked you whether you would prefer us to release the Offline Mode as soon as possible, even though campaign progress between playing offline and online is not shared - and most of you said that yes, the sooner, the better. You have spoken: 50.2% voted for releasing the update as soon as possible 37.6% would rather wait with the release until progress sharing is ready 12.2% were fine with either choice And we heard you - therefore we chose the absolutely fastest way to get the

We are in the final stages of development of the Offline Mode, but as it is such a highly requested and anticipated feature, we would like your input on one crucial aspect of its design: the campaign progress sharing. To keep the ability to join coop games with your friends on the fly, the game now has a separate offline mode and online mode you can switch between (and of course, it loads into offline mode by default when you are not connected to the Internet); but the two technical differences betw
