Release Notes - 2020-09-24
Attention, Generals!
Today’s release is a complete game changer! You will have to gather your wits and rethink your strategies when approaching your next battle in Supremacy 1! This is no drill!
The changes will only take effect in new games and touch construction and production times of units and buildings, morale effects, view ranges and many more. Check the list below for details.
The biggest thing we are doing is introducing a new type of building: the Bank! It boosts Money production in your provinces, so we are removing this feature from the Propaganda Office. Also, buildings no longer have 5 levels, but 3! Construction costs and building times have been adjusted accordingly.
You will notice that the first days of war now require better planning and a more conscious commitment to unit and building production. Every single choice matters! Investing into the right production or building level might mean the difference between falling behind in the arms race or getting the decisive edge over your neighbouring players.
Please read the following list of updates for a complete overview of today’s release:
