V15 Suggestions needed
After V14.00.02 and V14.01.00 I will start work on V15 which is planned to be the last update before the full release and possibly due to future time restrictions the last big update for the game.
basically income is starting to go down and treating the game as a full time job just no longer works out sadly
I will try to get in as much suggested things and planned things as possible into this update as well as removing all "coming soon" texts that i just don't got time to add the planned thing for, but if there is any massive features I've said is planned they are most likely canceled due to this and I'm really sorry for that,
there might still also be smaller updates or bug patches after V15 but nothing big and won't be common
so if there is anything you really want added to the game or something I've said that will be added that you really want to be prioritized please join the discord or comment on this post.
hope everyone is enjoying the game as much as all the positive feedback and nearly non existent negative feedback is telling me and thanks for making this my first somewhat popular game <3 been an amazing roughly 2 years (started development late summer 2021, first version was done January 1st 2022, first steam version July 2022) now working on it nearly constantly <3 even though I got way too overworked constantly xD

V14 & Antarctica DLC Info
First of, if you want to watch everything new in the update before the release, there will be a showcase stream here on the 13th / 1 day before the update and DLC release
V14 Brings a lot of visual changes to the game like oceans no longer being a big flat colour and instead having a texture that slowly moves, fire and the new province type lava having smoke over it,
There is a new updated map for the native reservoirs within USA to be accurate to their actual shape and one new reservoir added (it had the super cute name "rosebud" so i had to add it). and like 3 small southern island has been moved to antarctica and is no longer in the base game (this should have nearly no effect on people who don't get the DLC and only makes sense as they are a part of the Antarctic continent)
There is also a new world border as while working on the update I got annoyed at how the oceans are infinite, this world border will be togglable however incase you preferer the infinite ocean look.
and i think the biggest most energy draining visual change, new text placement code. the game will now auto generate areas to place the text within instead of using 1 per country per sub continent, so now each country will have 1 text per area where all provinces border each other.
There has been 4 new events added and 1 event that has gained 3 (5 with the DLC) new variants of it
The first event added is "fortification" this event makes a country fortify a random notable site, this can be a city, world wonder or nuclear site. however the game will always pick the country's capital if it isn't already fortified and will favor cities. after a province is fortified it will stop the province from changing hands 1, no matter what way it changes owner, Annexation, split, union, natural disaster, everything but the fortified status is removed immediately after it has been used.
the 2nd new event is "Volcanic Eruption" there has been 20 (23 if you own the DLC) Volcanoes added to the game map, each one with their own size/strength, if a country owns a volcano it will give a slight score boost, but if the eruption event happens the volcano will start spreading lava in multiple directions (depends on volcano size and location how many directions) creating a spider web ish pattern of lava, the lava then will each turn have a high chance of lighting 1 or more provinces around it on fire, but the lava will disappear after a while.
the 3rd and 4th event are sorta connected
the 3rd is "advanced robotics" this event will give a random country a prestige boost if their city is selected, that city will then get the status of having advanced robotics, any city in a country with a minimum of 1 city with advanced robotics will automatically gain the status a well.
and the 4th event is "robot uprising" this event selects a random city with the advanced robotics status and creates a new randomly generated Robot or AI nation, it can however only happen to countries with more than one city
and then the changed event is hurricane, if a hurricane goes over Fire, Flooded or lava province the hurricane will pick it up, changes it's colour and start spreading that province type, there is 2 more province types that this can happen to that will be mention in the DLC section of the post.
and lastly there has been 4 new camera movement buttons added Q and E now rotates the camera and R and F now tilts the camera, though I do recommend not using it too much, just a fun quick thing I added
the zoom speed has also been changed to be slower the more zoomed in you are and the area the camera can be in and start location of camera has changed slightly
And then the big thing, AntarcticaRoyale,
This DLC adds the entire continent of Antarctica to the game with multiple starting settings (claims, unclaimed, snow, glacier, research bases and off)
and with that there's also 2 new province types, "Snow" which slowly turns into floods over time as it melts and "Glacier" which is un destructible (sorta) and creates snow around it over time, there is a lot of glaciers in antarctica at start but it can also be found in Alaska, Greenland and Siberia
There is a new "status" for the entire game called "Antarctica treaty" It's a treaty that creates a few randomized negative score effects on any country claiming antarctica, 1 for having any land there, 1 for each new claim made, and 1 for any old claim pre signing
there is 5 new events in the dlc (6 if you count a secrete one that has sadly been delayed to a few days after release) and 2 new variants to the hurricane event
first of the hurricane event just like mentioned in the v14 section of the post, will now start spreading a few select province type if it goes over one, both glacier and snow can be "picked up" by the hurricanes.
first 2 events added is kinda boring but has a huge impact on the game first one is "dissolve antarctica treaty", it completely removes all negative score impacts from the treaty making any country with big claims on antarctica over powered.
the 2nd one is "new Antarctic treaty" this event creates a new treaty with new randomized penalties and can give a huge nerf to any Antarctic nations
the 3rd new event is "snow storm" it creates a big chunk of snow on the map with a low chance of the center being turned into glaciers, it also creates a cloud over it that will fade away within 7 seconds, the event can also only happen in the north and south of the map
the 4th event is "melting glacier" this is the only way to get rid of glaciers and it turns all glaciers and snow within a small area instantly into floods
the 5th and last event is "research base" this allows a country to turn any unclaimed or snow province in antarctica into a new claim, and unlike the colony event, this doesn't need to be a coastal province
and lastly there is a "6th" secrete event that was and is still planned that i sadly didn't have time to finish before the release date and will work on adding into the DLC in a update a few days after release, it's a short super rare "story" of multiple events
also as mentioned in the V14 section the DLC adds 3 volcanoes on the continent
hope you will enjoy all the new content to the game both if you get the DLC or not <3
V14 Event vote Winners!
The 4 winners of V14 event vote are!!
1. Pandemic | 47 Votes | most likely chain event causing countries to collapse and lose scores | most likely delayed to V14.1 due to the time it will take to make and having a ser release date for V14
2. Fortification | Votes 44 | Makes the province have "2 lives" any event taking over the province will instead just destroy the fortified status but keep it claimed by the effected country. capitals will be prioritized over all, with cities, world wonders and nuclear sites being prioritized over empty provinces
3. AI/Machine Revolt | Votes 41 | a random country has gone too far with their ai research and the robots revolt creating their own country, random cities within the country will be given to them
4. Volcano Eruption | Votes 37 | Multiple real life volcanos will be added into the game, each with their own strength, they will erupt forming lava in a circle around it, lava will slowly be turned into wasteland but at the same time spread fire to any province nearby
V14 Event vote + Antarctica DLC Wishlist
As V14 Development keep progressing it's once again time for a event vote, this time you get to choose 4 events out of 14 options and the top 4 will be added to V14 hopefully next month unless something happens to delay it. You can vote here
Also next month at the exact same time as V14 comes out the new Antarctica DLC will release!! you can already Wishlist it here
Antartica?
I'm currently working on adding Antarctica as a new continent in a dlc that will also include events and more relating to Antarctica, it will come out later on along either v13.02 or V14 depending on how big the free update that will come with it is.
As of now I got a lot planned and working on it but I do appreciate any suggestions that will make it as amazing as possible, if that's a new event, ideas on how to handle the UK, Argentina, Chile claim since i got no idea so far or whatever your mind comes up with!
Right now the free update includes:
new water texture
New native reservoir (just loved the new rosebud so had to add it)
and new borders for central USA, mainly to make the native reservoirs borders accurate as i made the original map before I decided to add them
and biomes placed out on that map that will change of unclaimed looks and in future some events will be biome specific
as always bug fixes
the Antarctica dlc right now includes:
Antarctica (duh)
4 Starting settings for Antarctica
Claimed
Research bases
Unclaimed
Off
2 new province types
Glacier (Don't do anything)
Snow (Melts over time into flooded)
New status? thingy. Antarctica treaty, changes the negative score from breaking it and claiming Antarctica. one negative boost from having claims and one negative boost per province
5 New events
Dissolve Antarctica treaty (Removes the negative score boost)
Sign new Antarctica treaty (Generates a new random negative boosts)
Snow storm (Makes a area into snow provinces)
Melting Glacier (Makes a glacier into flooded, only way to remove one)
New Research base (Claims a unclaimed province in Antarctica, does not need to be coastal)
and might as well say it that while I don't know for sure when it will release or how much it will cost, atm I aim at sometime next month with a price of around 50 SEK (Roughly 5 Euro, USD, and Pound) but might be delayed if I decide to do more map changes for the free update
