Have you conquered the nations of the world many times over? Are you growing accustomed to success on familiar battlefields? Then brace yourself for a new challenge. We're excited to announce Supremacy 1914's newest Event Map for this coming weekend - "Crossroads of History"!
After the treaty of Brest-Litovsk is signed between the Axis powers and the newly formed Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia, the borders in eastern Europe are redrawn. Strongly resembling the realistic borders of the treaty, you'll be able to take control of one of 23 playable nations of the year 1918. Quickly conquer any of the remaining neutral nations to secure more vital resources or go on an all-out offensive with one of the standing great powers, the strategic options are manifold for all nations.
Additionally, you'll notice that all player nations have a higher core province count compared to many other maps currently available. That’ll give you more options to expand your industrial might and allow for more options to maneuver in friendly and hostile lands.
Will the tides of war also shift in favor of the Central Powers in the West, or can the Allies hold fast? Will the eastern nations accept the harsh consequences of the treaty, or will they rise up once more? The year is 1918 and history is yours to write at the "Crossroads of History"!

Digging Deeper - The True Power of Johan "Aardvark" Maes
"He does not chase the fight—he shapes where the fight must happen." Johan "Aardvark" Maes isn’t your typical Hero—he doesn’t win fights by leading charges or dealing damage directly. Instead, he shapes the battlefield itself. Aardvark’s strength lies in preparation: building trench networks that turn open terrain into fortified bastions, stall enemy momentum, and protect key assets. Used well, he doesn’t just defend—he dictates how and where battles unfold.
Field Manual Update: Revised Combat Engineering Protocols Command has authorized the following enhancements to Johan’s tactical utility:
Trench bonuses now apply regardless of territory – Trenches could always be placed anywhere, but buffs previously applied only within friendly territory. They now boost Infantry in any location.
Mobilization time reduced from 1 day to 1 hour, ensuring quicker access to the battlefield.
Trench construction time scales with level – from 24 hours at Level 1 to 10 hours at max rank.
No upkeep. No limits. No mercy.
What is a Trench?
Trenches are a unique feature created exclusively by Johan "Aardvark" Maes. Once deployed, they appear on the map as standalone defensive structures. Unlike Fortresses, trenches:
Can be placed anywhere on the map
Only affect Infantry units standing inside them
Provide bonuses to Defense Damage, Hitpoints, and Combat Strength
Are autonomous – once placed, they persist and function even if Johan moves away
Do not cost upkeep and remain until destroyed or overrun
They can be stacked with Fortresses for layered defense, or placed in forward zones to pre-fortify terrain. Only the player who placed them can benefit from their effects.
Johan’s Unique Abilities:
Field Fortifier – Build defensive trenches anywhere on the map.
Earthen Bastion – Infantry in trenches gain boosts to Defense Damage, Hitpoints, and Combat Strength.
Trenches work autonomously – buffs remain even if Johan moves on.
No upkeep – trenches cost resources to place but have no maintenance cost.
Supports indirect warfare – control movement, delay sieges, and secure gains without overstretching.
Ally coordination – place trenches in allied territory if granted Right of Way—though only you can benefit from them.
Tactical Use Cases:
Early Game: Fortify chokepoints or delay enemy expansion.
Mid-Game: Pair with mobile stacks like Orhan for rapid defense deployments.
Late Game: Trail behind your main force to solidify captured zones and deny enemy counteroffensives.
Trenchcraft Tactics: Use trenches to protect artillery, encircle enemies, or set ambush zones.
Now’s the time to put Johan "Aardvark" Maes to work. His capabilities have evolved, and your strategy should too.
If he’s still missing from your roster, Hero Medals from ongoing Operations or the Shop will bring him to your ranks.
“Victory favors the prepared, General. Let Aardvark dig your path to triumph.” See you in the trenches.
Release Notes - 2025-06-24
This week's deployment focuses on fortifying the game's core mechanics. These adjustments ensure that the tools of war—your Heroes, your interface, and your reconnaissance—operate with the discipline and consistency you expect.
Hero Vision Abilities – Precision Restored
Reports from the field noted inconsistencies in how vision-enhancing skills were applied during movement and territorial transitions. These have now been addressed to ensure consistent battlefield awareness.
Tatiana’s “On the Prowl”:
Her Vision Range Boost now activates correctly only when within enemy territory.
Crossing into friendly territory while moving no longer causes unintended unit revelations.
Whether in motion or at rest, visibility is now consistent with her range enhancement.
Fiona “Maeve” Porter’s “Eyes of the Homeland”:
Her enhanced Vision Bonus now functions seamlessly both while moving and stationary, offering commanders persistent clarity in home territory.
Command Intent Going Forward:
Heroes with vision-based skills now consistently reveal units within their extended range, regardless of movement.
All visual feedback now reflects the actual fog-of-war state, ensuring greater reliability in tactical planning.
Army Details – Clear Compositions
An error previously occurred when inspecting a mixed force containing Johan "Aardvark" Maes alongside a Trench. This prevented commanders from reviewing key tactical details.
This misfire has been corrected. Army Details now open without issue for all unit combinations, allowing you to assess your formations with confidence.
Unit Panels – Cleaner Displays
Certain units such as Trenches displayed an empty “Daily Costs” field, leading to visual clutter and confusion.
This section now appears only when relevant, ensuring that each unit’s info panel is concise and informative.
These refinements aim to keep your campaigns running smoothly and your focus on the strategy ahead. Thank you for standing with us, and for continuing to provide the reports that help steer improvements from the front.
Hold your lines. Watch the horizon. Victory favors the vigilant. The Supremacy 1914 Team
