Campaign Changes- Swedish death march attrition is now 0.75% instead of 1% per day to make it less punishing in the late-game Battle Changes- Artillery damage per hit reduced by roughly 10%. Artillery accuracy (chance to land a hit) has not changed, but each successful hit now causes slightly fewer casualties. For example, a bombardment that previously killed around 45 men should now kill closer to 40. This should make artillery-heavy AI armies feel less punishing at scale and give smaller or less gun-focused army builds a better chance against them.Fixes- Improvements made to game stability,

Hotfix- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to get stuck on the loading screen when beginning a campaign fighting against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

Battle Changes- Grapeshot and canister shot now consume about -20% less ammunition- Artillery now takes slightly higher morale damage from all sources of gunfire- Artillery damage radius against enemy artillery crews increased by ~15%. Near misses are now slightly more likely to clip nearby crew members, meaning shots that land just beside a gun position have a better chance of dealing some damage.- Artillery now deals double damage to other artillery. Recent reductions to fire damage have improved musket combat balance, but made counter-battery fire too ineffective. This change should make it

DLC Nation Selection Bug has been fixed. It looks like the game was checking to see if you also had the free "Imperial Banner" DLC enabled, and if you didn't, it wouldn't let you play with the DLC.I'm deeply sorry for the mistake, we'll make sure to test more extensively in the future to ensure mistakes like this don't happen again.Griffin

Weather Changes- Fair should look less dark now on the campaign map- The fog should be a little less intense- Improved heatwaves’ lighting effect to be less intense Polish Changes - The “Build Political Faction” reform which gives you a discount on Sejm reforms now has a limit of 4 passes; it won’t appear again after that point. I also put in a limit of 10 stacks for the “reform the infantry/cavalry/artillery/hetman” just so it doesn’t break the game if you’re playing on infinite mode and repeatedly passing that reform.- Polish cavalcade’s cavalry stamina doubled buff is no longer conditional

Philosophy Behind this UpdateHey everyone! This is our largest update to Master of Command yet. Alongside a major free update packed with new features and content, we’re also releasing a new DLC that adds two nations to the game: Sweden and Poland! Sweden and Poland each come with completely unique gameplay mechanics. Sweden introduces the Military School, while Poland brings the Polish-Lithuanian Sejm government system. I’ll explain both systems in more detail later in the changelog. Since the Scorched Earth update, we’ve also been closely monitoring your feedback and making improvements to b

Campaign Changes- Pushed another fix for the loot being all gold-tier muskets in Act III battles
2026-04-14 00:44 UTC · Community Announcements · Armchair Historian
Campaign Changes- Marauder armies now drop a doctrine reward if beaten and provide greater loot rewards- Patrol armies in Act III were removed to make the region more focused on the marauders. Marauding armies were increased to 3 in the region instead of 2 but raid much slower.- Act III’s malus of “Desolation” no longer reduces the amount of supplies available to be purchased at settlements so you can buy more supplies- Act III encamped armies now field 4 brigades instead of 5 so they don’t feel as strong as the Act III HQ- Act III’s side objective of sieging forts has been reduced from 5 to 4

Philosophy Behind this UpdateThis update reworks much of the game’s pacing in battles and campaign. For battles, we’ve made charges less extreme, and melees slower. Ranged combat has also slowed down, as accuracy has been reduced on muskets as well as morale damage from volleys. For the campaign, the overall goal was to slow progression in the early-to-mid game, and speed up the late-game which can often drag. Because of this change, you can expect it to take longer to build up your army. At the same time, we’ve lowered the amount of units the AI is fielding proportionately to the player. This
