On this day, I would like to wish everyone a very happy Swedish National Day. As a small greeting, I have added a changelog with a brief message at the end of my last announcement. Please feel free to scroll down and have a look.
Update coming before the end of the year (2023)
Guds fred soldat i ledet!
An update will be released before the end of the year that fixes all the bugs in the game. Hopefully we will also be able to add better uniforms, officers, drummers and pipers.

Big update in the beginning of 2024
Guds fred soldat i ledet!
A big update for GBOCXII is set to be released in the beginning of 2024.
In this update, the battlefield grid has been changed from hexagon-based to square-based to allow for more aesthetically pleasing and correct formations. Attacking and movement have also been altered to consume varying amounts of access points (AP) depending on the terrain, such as roads, forests, and hills. In addition, a variety of new uniforms for officers, drummers, pipers, Russian streltsy, and more have been added. All these new units, along with the existing ones, are now positioned in more historically accurate formations. Multiple hours of background music have also been added.
Note: Before this update is released, there may be issues, at for instance Pühhajoggi in the current version of the game on Steam. A temporary solution to this is to use the cheat menu.

2023 update - in honour of the birth of the modern Kingdom of Sweden
Thank you for supporting us on our journey to honour the glorious history of Sweden!
Allow us to present the 500-year anniversary update, celebrating Gustav Vasa, and the birth of Sweden as a unified and hereditary monarchy. Experience the battlefields of the great northern war like never before with new, animated 3D models, improved overall aesthetics and realistic voice acting in Swedish, German and Russian.
The birth of the modern Kingdom of Sweden
Note: If you find any more bugs we would greatly appreciate it if you report them here. If bugs are found, an update will be released no later than Monday next week.
For those of you who play GBOCXII for the first time, I want to say a few words.
This computer game originated as a modest school project and has been evolving with each passing month. It will continue to receive numerous updates for many years to come. Moreover, we have exciting plans to delve into other significant events in the history of Sweden.
While the battle system in GBOCXII has improved over time, both in terms of gameplay and historical accuracy, it does not emulate the actual tactics employed by different armies during that era. Several adaptations have been made to fit the historical battles into a computer game format. For instance, in the game, each Swedish infantry regiment comprises 1168 men, although their actual numbers were seldom this high. Additionally, musketeers, pikemen, and grenadiers are led separately instead of being part of a unified formation, but divided into two battalions, as it was in reality. Conversely, the cavalry regiments fight together as a cohesive unit, which would have been impractical in real-life scenarios.
Hence, it is important to note that the game does not claim to be historically accurate in every aspect. Similarly, it does not strive to be an intricately strategic game. To gain a thorough understanding of the battle system mechanics, I highly recommend watching the tutorial video, accessible from the game's main menu.
Thank you once again for your support, and we hope you enjoy your experience with the game as we pay tribute to Sweden's remarkable past!

We have now released a new update with new features and bug fixes. This update, among other things, adds a new map (Fraustadt), a "next unit" button and a new victory screen with statistics. The update also introduces a new character selection menu. This menu lets the player choose which character he wants to be.
𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖉𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖎 𝕾𝖙𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖔𝖘 can also today proudly present the goals for the coming year 2022:
More historical maps/battles from the Great Northern War 1700-1709 will be added in the upcoming updates. We want the maps to be varied and the game to reflect the entire Carolean campaign. Sometime in the future, we want all battles with significant historical weight to be in the game.
More documentary-like movies will be added to the game. We will create a written manual along with a video tutorial series.
Our work with developing the "custom battle creator" will continue.
We will continue working on the character system.

New graphics setting
Hello everyone!
This update adds the option for the player to set their preferred graphics level in a drop-down menu. Lowering the graphics from high to medium will result in much better performance for players running the game with worse specifications. However, it will only decrease the quality of the 3D models slightly.

If you find any bugs or incorrect information I would greatly appreciate it if you report it to me.
