| New Actions Gameplay Updatemajor Hello, here is a long awaited and requested update: the one bringing more actions to the game! In this update: · Regional Intelligence Bureaus: Focuses Reworked · New actions · Editor fixes Regional Intelligence Bureaus: Focuses Reworked The cooldown before the bonuses of a new Regional Intelligence Bureau focus apply is now 3 turns instead of 12 turns. You will still need to plan ahead and kno… | — | |
| The Editor leaves the Beta testing phase and is officially operational The title says it all. You can now easily create great mods or event packs, share them, and upload your friends' creations directly from the game. (in todays update, you will find technologies and cutom country variables) I will keep adding features to the editor as long as enough players request them. I also added a new game option that prevents organizing mass protests from backfiring in demo… | — | |
| Workshop & multiplayer update Here are some cool stuff added since the last Steam News: -->You can now create events packs mods -->You can download easily and directly content from the workshop right into the game´s right folder -->More longer multiplayer scenarios have been added. -->The editor bugs you reported have been fixed What are the events packs? They are packs of events you create with the editor. Contrary to the… | — | |
| Scenario Editor Beta is now live!major Yes, you can finally play for real with the editor! Editor Quick Q&A How do I apply for the editor beta? That's the cool part: you don't have to! Everybody is in. To access the editor, click Workshop from the scenario selection menu. Then, you guessed it, click the Editor button. Is the beta editor complete enough for me to start creating scenarios and sharing them? Yes, absolutely. There are a… | — | |
| Polish and Italian Localization patch + Steamdeck rework Just a small patch: · Polish localization added · Italian localization added · Steam Deck playability reworked · Controller playability reworked · Workshop: “Uglify JSON” button added For JSON tinkerers: The “Prettify JSON” option makes the default quick-save file easier to read and modify. However, the resulting file cannot be used as-is. So there is now a “Re-Uglify” button in the Workshop se… | 22464802 | |
| Intelligence Agencies Updatemajor A new Game mechanism just dropped! Regional Intelligence Agencies You can now set Regional intelligence bureaus across the world and give them a focus! Of course, your intelligence agents already operate worldwide, but some regions may become important enough to justify establishing a dedicated large regional bureau. Opening and maintaining such a bureau will cost $5 per turn, and will allow yo… | — | |
| Living Worldmajor In all modesty, I believe this was the one update the game was truly missing! Imagine a world where Cuba, Libya, or West Germany start taking independent actions. Of course, these minor nations don’t have the strength to ruin your entire strategy on their own, but they absolutely make the world more chaotic. Having countries in your sphere of influence is now more strategic than ever. (Just ima… | — | |
| Tutorial, wiki and game modes October update A tutorial and an in-game wiki have been added to the game! I’m confident that onboarding will now be faster and smoother than ever. You’ll also discover two new game modes. I have a feeling the “Fair-Play Opponent” mode will quickly become a fan favorite! This mode ensures your computer opponent always uses a competent AI, no matter the selected difficulty level. The giant country side tooltip… | 20456441 | |
| National Policies Mega Updatemajor I have the pleasure to announce one of the largest rework of Cold War 2: the introduction of the National Policies system! National Policies You can now define the policy of your Power in three domains: Diplomacy , Society , and Economy . These policies grant you bonuses, impact your budget, and influence your superpower’s economic development. And yes—at last—you can now increase your budget t… | — | |
| Geostrategy content patchmajor Hello! This update introduces a major improvement to game mechanics and overall balance. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it! Geostrategical advantages This new feature, currently available for the USA and the USSR, introduces a list of geo-strategical advantages that can be unlocked by meeting specific conditions. Most of these provide an instant "kaboom!" effect, along w… | — | |
| Guerilla, showdown and localization Patch This small patch fixes the followig issues: Showdowns when the enemy was invading a country displayed twice the player's portrait, and the player was having a showdown with himself. This is no more the case! Idle guerillas: large coalitions were sometimes just doing nothing. This has been fixed too. The Chinese localization has been extended to some late game events that were still in English.… | 18180220 | |
| AI and UI small patch Just a small patch: The AI will now contest the player's full R&D rush strategies, and you will probably no longer be able to win all technology races with this strategy. The delay between clicking on a country on the map and opening the country panel has been reduced. What's next? Well, the core game (USA vs USSR between 1949 and 1989) is almost done. I see no reason to make players wait until… | — |
