Game update13 Sep 2026Version 1.0.14 - Challenge mode and bug fixes* Possible fix for rare bug regarding orbiting bombers at a target. * Added safety mechanisms around Animation Slider setting that should keep users from experiencing a Hang from various city, invasion, or movement animations. (Possible divide or multiply by zero existed.) -> This is guesswork to address recent bug reports. New: * Added 'Challenge Mode' option to Normal and Easier so players ca…
Hello all! While I work on getting 1.0.14 up, Boylei put up a video shouting out Dread Admiral. I wanted to repay his kindness by hopefully pointing some of your eyes his way. I've been a long time fan of his channel and reached out, for which he took no payment. The least I can do is ask you to give it a watch. Cheers!
* Fixed a rare bug regarding map start * Added a pair of saftey mechanisms to ship movement so they shouldn't hang -> should address a rare bug. Minor: * Fixed a bug with Shore Bombardment * Fixed Armed Populace's invade reduction * Clearing Fire with Repairs should now turn off the Fire effect * The Grid Highlight should turn back on after using interceptors * Reduced the difficulty of getting…
Version 1.0.12 Balance: * Mid/Late game building costs increased, some significantly so * BB, CV, SBB, SCV, SDD, SSS costs increased by roughly 10% -> cost increases are in hopes of reducing the snowballing a bit and create more meaningful choices. As bigger ships become less efficient at cost but retain production efficiency and between missions, it might incentivize more play with Cruisers/CV…
Hotfixes: * Fixed another set of issues with the Plane Repair Bay/Factory toggle * Possible fix for orbiting planes bug * Reordered save/load code -> might fix some bugs regarding loading/saving * Reverted a change that caused Destroyers not to be able to perform Shore Bombardment.
Feature: * Set Waypoint has been added. Sets your created units queued move to that location Map Balance: * Cities will more often find reasonable positions * Cities can now vary quite a lot in size, but will on average be around the the same size as currently * Cities will now sometimes have a building and/or pillboxes already on them Minor: * Fixed a bug where Plane Repair Bay/'Factory' wasn'…
* Fixed a bug where loading a save would 'forget' that a reward was a meta reward * Choosing to 'prestige' now gives an unlock, akin to leveling up. * Queued moves should now prefer to fill the desired hex * Queued moves should now locate nearby open water hexes and mark them as their end point if they can't reach their desired location * Text hints now for repair amount for the unit, expected…
Balance: * Ai will now sometimes defend its ports on Normal difficulty. * Ai Hard or Higher difficulty will prioritize it to a higher degree * Hard/Brutal will spawn more Superships instead of some of their regular fleet (2x, 3x) Map Balance: * Cities should prefer to be in their horizontal 'columns' even more so. * Island generation should now be much more consistent so that giant empty maps a…
Balance: * Interceptors have been buffed 33%. They once again do 'double' the amount of 'Flak' a Patrol does. -> in theory they are there to counter patrol spam, but currently it's a bit too much of a gambit. This can, of course, be reverted if it's a problem. Progression Fixes: * Fortified should spawn turrets farther away from start positions and cities * Fixed a bug with Repair Crane and Pla…
* Added another trigger condition to end the final level (ending your turn should double check for a dead Dread Admiral) * Added redundant checks for a dead Dread Admiral
* Found fixed a new bug that was causing upgrades not to dropped -> Upgrade drops are now deterministic (rather than a dice roll) * Chance for bonus drops increased to 3% per XP gained to help people catch up * Made it easier for Upgrades related to Superships to unlock
Balance: * PT/DD Torpedo no longer has a special case to deal 1 to PT boats (dodge has mitigated the reason for this.) Known Bug: * Dread Admiral's flagship might not spawn. Can't replicate so far. It might be fixed? Added better logging to try and determine the root cause. Localization: * Control Scheme windows are now localized Minor: * Fortified will no longer be a Modifier for Protect City…
Balance: * Flagships are now immune to Hull Breach Crits if they are at 1 HP. -> this prevents multiple Death Denies from occurring simultaneously. * Protect City will now more likely be towards the middle of the map Minor: * Repair Yards and Naval Academies should now function the turn they are constructed. * Arrows for minimizing/maximizing panels now more obvious * Actually fixed the Action…
