Due to popular demand from the community, the 30-player map 1939 Historic World War can now be created as a private map by any player with a Premium Account. You can join these private maps for free if you yourself have a Premium Account, or for a fee of 5,000 gold if you do not have a Premium Account. Please note that we will monitor this new option closely and may adjust or remove the map if necessary.
With today's update we re-worked the "Home Screen" of the new Beta Client to improve its usability and provide you with the most valuable information and options immediately after entering the game.
Last but not least, we implemented a change designed to increase game performance and address FPS drops when hovering over elements on the map.
For a complete overview and all the details about today's changes, updates, and bug fixes, please check our detailed Release Notes and share your feedback on the forums and our Discord server with us.
Best of luck on the battlefield!

Release Notes - 2022-04-12
Attention, Generals!
Today's update brings various bug fixes for Call of War in general, and the Beta client on desktop in particular.
We changed the default sorting order of pinned provinces in the Beta client on desktop, to make it more user friendly. By clicking the "pin" icon on the left of a province in the province overview, you can pin provinces that are of high interest to you. As you are most likely interested in finding these provinces right away, these provinces are now listed on top of the overview by default, instead of at the bottom. Should you wish to have the pinned provinces listed at the bottom though, you can still do that, by clicking on the column header to change the order.
Among the bugs that were fixed today are the missing "Add Target" button in the army bar of several units, a rounding error when displaying certain numbers in several languages, and several issues where too many icons were displayed, icons were missing, or error messages got triggered.
the time has come for another speed round event! Cancel all your plans and prepare for some short nights and long fights during the next 14 days. If no player or coalition has achieved a regular victory by that time, the player with the most victory points is declared winner. The end time is displayed in the game information within the newspaper and as a countdown on the right side of the screen. This scenario runs on the CoW 1.5 version, with new features and new balancing.
Settings for this speed round event:
Player count: 100
4x speed
starts immediately
Free country selection
players flagged as inactive after 2 real life days
fixed runtime of 14 real life days after the game started (if not won earlier)

Release Notes - 2022-03-22
Attention, General!
Today's update marks the reintroduction of the Country Chooser feature, which was temporarily disabled in the game a few weeks ago. Maps that are not supposed to have randomized country selection allow you to pick your favorite Nation from the pool of available countries again.
We also fixed several issues, like a bug that could cause an accidental declaration of war to an allied nation, or the ability of AI controlled planes to teleport to an enemy unit under certain circumstances.
For a complete overview of all changes that were implemented with this update, please check our detailed Release Notes and share your feedback on the forums or Discord with us.
We hope you enjoy being able to pick your favorite nations again. Choose wisely.
Best of luck General,

Release Notes 2022-01-26
Attention, Generals!
Today's update changes the default Fire Control setting for AI controlled units. Should you happen to face an army that is controlled by an AI nation, be prepared that its Fire Control setting is now "Offensive" and not "Fire at Will" anymore.
Furthermore, we implemented additional improvements to the Beta Client on Desktop. You find a list of changes in the Forums and on Discord, but there have been just too many bits and pieces we changed, that we could not list all of them. We stuck to the most important ones.
On top of that, we released some balancing changes to the game. Each doctrine received an additional unique buff, Supply Drops appear more frequently now, the AI in Events acts a bit later in the game and several units got some stats tweaked.
Last but not least, the team tackled a lengthy list of bugs in the game, including the possibility to micro jump units by exploiting the merge function of units, or borders being displayed incorrectly on some maps when zoomed out.
For a detailed overview of all the updates, balancing changes, and bug fixes, please check our Release Notes and share your feedback with us on the forums and Discord server.
