Balancing Update & Release Notes
Release Notes - 2021-11-10
Attention, General!
Today’s release brings a large number of balancing changes to new game rounds you join. These changes affect units, Doctrines, economy, AI and more. The changes are designed to improve unit balancing and make it more viable for players to use a bigger variety of units in their game experience. We highly recommend you take a moment and read the list of balancing changes in today’s release notes linked below.
We also took the opportunity for some tidying up in the game.When you check your inbox in the game, you will notice that you have the option to filter the messages and either display or hide both “Player messages” and “System messages” in your inbox. This was suggested by the community and the implementation of this great idea should allow you to easily find any message you are looking for.
We also removed articles announcing trade embargoes from the Daily European. This change should make sure that you do not miss more notable events happening in your current game.
Finally, we resolved several issues with planes that were haunting players even after Halloween. As usual, please check out the Release Notes on the forums or on Discord for a complete overview of all changes.
We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!

Attention, Generals!
Today’s update brings a new Army List for the Beta client, that allows you to get an overview of all your armies currently in the game. The list can be sorted by various pieces of information and clicking on an army allows you to jump to the army's location on the map.
A new popup now warns you before attacking a friendly player and allows you to cancel your command or proceed with your declaration of war. Mobile Generals have a close button for the ending popup now, that allows you to read the newspaper of the game round and take a last analytical look at the game when the round has ended.
