New DLC Content Available

This update introduces full support for a new DLC, which adds two unique story-driven scenarios and a brand-new map:

Consequences (1926, Alternate History)

A world struck by global warming far earlier than expected. Rising temperatures devastate provinces and population, forcing you to migrate north in search of survivable land. Explore a new technology branch and try to stop the climate catastrophe before it’s too late.

BTW, the cause of global warming is randomly generated each time. It could be the greenhouse effect, Earth’s core activity, or solar radiation. You won’t know in advance which solution to pursue — you’ll need to read events carefully and adapt your technology choices.

In some cases, the only way to survive solar activity is to trigger a nuclear winter. It may sound absurd at first — but given the circumstances, it might actually be the lesser evil.

Lost

After a crash on an unknown planet, you lead a stranded crew with no ability to recruit armies or build military equipment. Survive with limited forces, defend against hostile locals, and find a way to escape.

This scenario features a completely new planet map, “LP-16.”

Scenario Editor Improvements


We’ve added several new tools for scenario creators:

  3. Added two new requirements for scenario creators: science and prestige checks
  4. Fixed issues causing a gray screen on game startup

The update is available now — make sure to download it to access the DLC and the latest improvements.

From the DLC – Interesting Details


Here are a couple of fun details from the development process:

  • The temperature system in Consequences had to be rebalanced multiple times. In early versions, northern countries could avoid the effects entirely. We also made sure every nation has a chance to survive — even hotter regions like Egypt, whether by building a “mega-refrigerator” or migrating north.
  • In Lost, there was a bug where a rebel faction from your crew would lose its “at war” status with the locals. This led to strange situations where rebels and locals effectively teamed up against you. It was removed as both unbalanced and illogical.
  • Another bug allowed technologies from Consequences (like mega-refrigerator) to appear in historical scenarios if you switched between them in the menu. That has now been fixed.
