World Warfare & Economic

What’s Next?

• Economy
  
  
  
  • Resources management – Resource values have been simplified for easier control (while calculations remain realistic). We’ve introduced a world market where you can sell resources for quick cash.
    
  • Sectors – Added a variety of new laws and policies and a new budget area to track individual expenses and incomes.
    
  • GDP & Inflation Calculations – Now significantly improved and more realistic, these have been tested in long gameplay runs to ensure stability.
    
  • New building power system – This system is now simpler and more stable than before. Each country has a build level (1-10), with each level increasing facility capacity and build times.
    
  
  
  
• Military & War
  
  
  
  • Restructured aerial missions – Jets can now be sent over entire countries, not just provinces, gradually eliminating all rival targets.
    
  • New land battle system – Incorporating logistics, supply chains, and multi-directional attacks (similar to flanking), for significant battlefield advantages.
    
  • Enhanced military logistics – Divisions, squadrons, and fleets now rely on logistics. Supplies are loaded based on distance from the nearest military base – so the further your units, the longer it takes to rearm. You can add cargo units to divisions to extend logistics capacity for longer missions.
    
  • Aerial tankers – Now required when sending squadrons to out-of-range targets.
    
  • Automatic annexation – Once a province is conquered, it automatically becomes part of your country.
    
  • New unit designer – A simpler, more intuitive system for creating new military units.
    
  
  
  
• Diplomacy
  
  
  
  • Envoys and diplomatic calculations reworked
    
  • Countries will react more dynamically to global events.
    
  • Coordinated wars – Revamped system for nations to launch joint efforts against mutual enemies.
    
  • Expanded IGOs (Intergovernmental Organizations) – They’ll track country behavior, issue warnings or praise, and even kick countries that defy their objectives. Following IGO guidelines will earn influence bonuses.
    
  
  
  
• AI
  
  
  
  • AI Overhaul – All AI behaviors are now more realistic and adaptive. AI will learn from mistakes, becoming smarter as gameplay progresses.
    
  • AI assistance – Improved for trades, war, and economic management.
    
  
  
  
• Intelligence
  
  
  
  • Brand-new intelligence system – Now featuring options for sabotage and espionage. Destroy rival assets, sabotage arms deals, infiltrate military bases, gather intel, disrupt nuclear facilities, and eliminate high-value personnel. The new system is far more intuitive and seamless than before.
    
  
  
  
• Performance & Data Enhancements
  
  
  
  • Massive performance boost – Now averaging 100+ FPS.
    
  • Key features (city buildings, missiles, interceptions) have been moved into Unity DOTS, significantly boosting performance.
    
  • Loading times slashed by 95% – Loading the game now takes just 1-2 seconds on a good PC!
    
  • Reduced memory consumption – Now playable on PCs with 4-6GB RAM.
    
  • Lower CPU demands – Now smoother gameplay on lower-end CPUs.
    
  • Tested Performance – On both (I7-12700K, RTX3060, 16GB) and (I3-13300K, GTX1060, 8GB), the game runs smoothly at over 60 FPS even during stress tests (thousands of missiles and interceptions running simultaneously).
    
  • UI Scaling option – Adjust the entire game UI, perfect for smaller screens like laptops.
    
  
  

• Economy
  
  
  
  • Stock Markets – This feature has been removed and likely won’t return.
    
  
  
  
• Military & War
  
  
  
  • Peace Conferences – Temporarily removed but will return later.
    
  • War Score – Removed for now, with plans to bring it back later.
    
  • Fog of War visuals – Also removed.
    
  
  
  
• Space
  
  
  
  • The space system is on hold until Earth-based features are fully tested and stable.
    
  
  
  
• Other
  
  
  
  • Removed regional maps – Now using a completely province-based map for greater stability, control, and data handling.
    
  
  

• A Reimagined Interface
  Your command center is getting a complete overhaul. Every button, every screen has been redesigned to offer a more intuitive and immersive experience, crafted from the insights of our dedicated community.
  
  
• Warfare, Refined
  The chaos of battle is about to change. We’re simplifying the warfare system to ensure every strategy feels seamless, with a focus on the crucial balance of logistics and fuel supplies. Victory will now be a matter of both tactics and resources.
  
  
• Building with Purpose
  Construction in your nation will feel more grounded in reality. We’ve reworked the building times, so no more years-long waits due to low building power. Now, every facility will rise at a pace that reflects your nation’s true capabilities.
  
  
• Lightning-Fast Optimizations
  We’ve restructured the game's data handling, cutting loading and startup times by more than 50%. You’ll be diving into the action faster than ever before, with no time wasted.
  
  
• Safe and Seamless Saves
  Your progress is sacred. We’ve refined the save/load process to be more secure and efficient, eliminating past frustrations and ensuring your world remains exactly as you left it.
  
  
• Economic Overhaul
  We’ve delved deep into the economy, balancing and refining it to reflect the complexities of global markets. Your economic strategies will now carry more weight and authenticity, impacting your nation like never before.
  
  
• Expanded Legislative Powers
  The power is in your hands. We’ve added a wealth of new laws and policies, giving you greater control over population growth, unemployment rates, and much more. Shape your society with newfound precision.
  
  
• Return to the Stars
  SPACE IS BACK!
  By the end of the year, you’ll once again be able to venture into the cosmos. Explore distant stars, unlock technological breakthroughs, and protect your world from asteroid threats. The final frontier awaits your command.
