Last week we revealed the major features in Dev Log #6 The Meyer Update.
With this major update a Campaign mode has been added. These missions introduce new mechanics that increase in complexity – making them a great tutorial for new players.
This update also features a wizard that will help create your own new scenarios.
Updates to the fallout model and improvements to long-term casualty modeling improve the accuracy and realism of the simulation.
We have also improved the presentation of Nuclear War Simulator with new music and better visuals to your attack plans and missile trajectories.
With the new tutorials included in this update, its never been easier to wage atomic warfare.
