Greetings Autocrats! Some good news! Kiloton was just announced as a finalist in the 2026 Independent Games Festival ! We are a nominee for Best Student Game. If you are a fellow game person and plan on coming to the GDC this march, you'll find Kiloton (and me) in the IGF section. Anyhow, here are todays patch notes: ARMY EXPERIENCE Armies now gain experience over time. As they gain experience,…
Our mapping contest has come to its conclusion! Congratulations to FireWarpSkill for the winning map ISLAND. All these levels will be available on the second page of the campaign. New Levels! Generally, the levels included at launch were pretty easy. Hopefully this batch will add some challenge! ISLAND LONGSHOT SANDWICH SURROUNDED UNFAIR LAN One requested feature was LAN-based multiplayer. This…
Hello Everyone! Have you tried out the scenario editor? Made any cool custom scenarios recently? Well... That's right. Your maps are being drafted into the great patriotic war against... not enough maps! Millions will surely perish. Hop into the discord , and send your maps to @spacemann for potential inclusion in a an upcoming Kiloton update. Come up with something clever for the name and desc…
This has been a long time coming, so I appreciate y'all bearing with me! · Added multiplayer bot support. Use the. "bots = [0 through 3]" command to set the server bot count · Assorted bugfixes. Previously some actions like peace-offer-withdrawals were not networked, allowing for pretty zany desync situations. Debt was improperly synchronized, leading to some economic desync as well, although t…
There was a bug where improperly saved editor data could corrupt one of the menus, interrupting the loading process and causing each level to immediately shutdown. That has been fixed! I've also made sure that, at least until I add specific research tools into the editor, that states will load with the minimum research necessary to support the bases that you've given them. (If a state spawns wi…
A commonly requested feature was the option to design your own levels. I've gone ahead and added some tools to let you do this! The new 'Editor' mode lets you: · Cycle through map seeds until you find one you like · Set the number of players · Modify the fairness of the starting borders · Place down bases Once you're happy with your new level, you can give it a unique name and description, then…
Update to v2.4.48 More netcode bug-squashing! · Fixed a number of RPC feedback-loops that often led to potentially massive chunks of bandwidth being dedicated to completely useless messages! · Drastically reduced the precision and frequency of network-transform updates, which was also hogging large amounts of bandwidth for no gain. (Sub-millimeter unit position updates aren't that valuable in a…
Update to 2.4.44 One day, many years into the future, there wont be any more netcode bugs. This is not that day. · Corrected Interpolation Settings (this should really help with hosting large servers!) · Patched a game-breaking country defeat/disconnect bug that would freeze the map and cause all sorts of problems · Automatically clean unit information continuously (may cause minor performance…
Spectating Improvements - Added 'Spectators', a unique player-type Set your name to "spectator" before the match starts, and you will be able to watch the game without playing. (Likely to have some bugs, let me know in the discord if you find stuff!) -Improved normal spectating! If you lose a multiplayer match, you can now continue watching as a spectator, and leave without ending the game (unl…
2.4.2 The war on bugs continues! · New Desync checker on armies will hopefully catch up and fix army desync when it occurs. (not 100% effective, but it helps!) · Dropped multiplayer tickrate to give host machines a chance at handling large-server bandwidth · Added new (probably insequential) 'path sharing' optimization on neighboring units to attempt to reduce CPU load · Improved multiplayer sp…
2.4.11 Some users were experiencing severe multiplayer desync issues! Some steps have been taken to address this, like · Verifying unit teams and positions from the host instead of trusting the local machine · Avoiding spawning units in contested regions (cities near the frontline) · Minor multiplayer fixes Multiplayer lobbies still have live bugs, but I just wanted to ship this patch in the me…
2.4.0 ⁃ Added new achievement “A Strange Game…” to reward diplomatic solutions. ⁃ Improved Falken’s Maze... ⁃ Added more hints for new users to avoid stuck-spots in the learning curve. - Addressed a potential launch-option issue on the previous macOS build.
Update to v2.3.9 ⁃ Added new achievement “Wing Attack Plan R” in honor of Dr. Strangelove ⁃ Fixed minor issues with keybind system (thanks Borg!) ⁃ Tutorial win-condition tweaks
Camera controls are now modifiable! You're no longer stuck with WASD QE, which must have been frustrating on international keyboard layouts. Type 'Binds' into the console to see the syntax. This will bind the up axis of the camera to the W key (the default): bind up = w Put a different letter key after the equals sign to change that keybind! If you want to do non-letter keys, you can find the f…

2.3.4 Patch Notes ⁃ Added CRT = 0 setting for eye problems This setting disables all the scanline effects, the visual fuzz, and the lens distortion for all screens. Enable this setting by typing "CRT = 0" into any console. ⁃ Removed and replaced an unreasonably difficult achievement "Teraton" required the player to drop a completely unreasonable amount of nukes. Gigaton is difficult enough, I t…
Discord! This game is pretty hard, so we've launched a discord server for FAQ, tips and tricks, and multiplayer matchmaking! Feel free to drop in and say hello. New Levels NATO This scenario imagines the player as part of a mutual-defense-pact against a larger and more technologically advanced enemy power NOFLY In NOFLY everyone has advanced air defense, so in order to bring your weapons to bea…
