This update adds 9 new scenarios, a round of AI improvements and a new rule for uprisings.
Observe now ships with 11 scenarios.
Continent Battle Royales: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. Every region starts as its own country, on a map of just that continent.
Ultimate Battle Royale: all 3,374 regions of the world, each one an independent country.
Pangaea 2025: today's world with the continents pushed back together.
Pangaea 1940: the world of 1940 on the supercontinent, with Germany, Italy and Japan ready for war.
Oceans Dried and Earth Became Flat: no seas, so armies can march where the oceans used to be.
Island nations like Japan and Australia now invade by sea instead of waiting.
Large empires plan proper overseas invasions.
Countries use nukes to finish wars instead of stopping right before the end.
Alliances form more naturally.
On Realistic rules, conquered land no longer turns into homeland. Big empires have to hold what they take, so a single superpower is less likely to win every game.
In 2025, China starts a bit weaker, and Russia, Europe and the US start stronger.
New rule, uprising relief: a country that loses land to an uprising gets a stability boost that fades over a few years.
Countries no longer gain soldiers when part of them breaks away.
Countries that come back from the dead no longer keep their old navy, tanks and jets.
Late-game naval invasions work again when armies get very large.
Have fun!!
