Observe: Performance Update & News on the Map Editor
Hello all! I have released a small update focused almost entirely on performance. Performance improvements A few calculations that looked harmless were doing far more work than intended once countries became extremely large. Normal scenarios often hid these problems but stress-testing a world where every region began as an independent country exposed them very clearly. And if you're wondering a…
Hello all! This update started with cultures. I wanted a country to contain actual peoples rather than one population number and I wanted those people to matter when borders moved. That sounded like one system. It turned into terrain, food, farms, subjects, a rebuilt God Mode, a new way to read the news, new tools for the Scenario Editor and a fairly serious rewrite of AI Studio. So this is 0.7…
Hello again, Sorry to spam these updates but someone on Discord found a bug regarding the ideologies caused by yesterday's behaviour update. Basically, the AI didn't pick any ideologies before a war was declared. Now that's fixed. And I also made a few balance changes: -AI now will randomly pick a behaviour at the start of the game if none was assigned. -AI will now try to make more realistic n…
-AI Studio Frontline bug fixed. -AI Studio Reset bug fixed. -Someone in comments asked for a Forever War concept, it can be found in the rulesets now. -Ideology bonuses now range from -100 to 100. -New achievements and an easter egg hunt added. -Wars now have ambient audio. -Pre-Modern Frontlines now have better unit graphics.
Hi, I fixed some of the bugs that were brough to my attention. · Scenario Editor population fields were wrongfully limited to 100M. Fixed. · Disabling nukes didn't do anything in many cases. Now they should be disabled. · Some UI interactions caused the WASD keys to not work. Now fixed. There are still some bugs waiting to be fixed, but these were the most urgent ones. I will keep continuing to…
Hello again, Two bug fixes and 8 new achievements for today! · Scenario Editor: publishing a scenario didn't upload the screenshot with it. Now it does. · AI Studio: publishing a script was uploading a placeholder image instead of your code. It now grabs an actual screenshot. No more placeholder images... no more... We used to have achievements, but recent updates left them tied to features tha…
Hello again, Nations no longer just lose on the map, they rot from the inside. Nukes rewrite the board. The seas finally matter, forts finally hold a line, and games actually end. Here is everything: The Home Front Conquest used to be free. Take land, get bigger, win. Not anymore. · Stability. Every nation now runs on a stability meter that feeds combat, production, and income. If not kept unde…
Hello again, I want to thank you all for the incredible love and support you've shown for the recent overhaul. Since yesterday, I've received quite a few feature requests and had some free time today to knock them out. Here are the changes included in this quick follow-up: · Main Menu Script Submission: You can now submit scripts directly from the Main Menu. · Graphics Settings: Added a graphic…

So let's not waste time and let's get into what has changed. Main Menu Remember how sad things used to look and how confusing it was? Now the Main Menu just has 4 buttons and a slick animated background with the leaderboards always visible. Scenario Edito…

I just found a terrible bug that was introduced by the new graphics update. Region-clicking and thumbnail generation were terribly broken, but now has been fixed.
