Hi Erich, thanks for the feedback!

We're still in the process of evaluating the balancing changes on the grand scale so every bit of long term player feedback is very welcome.

Attention, Generals!

In today’s release we focus on a strategist's best friend: intelligence. The front report will now include more detailed information concerning the location of battles that took place and the suffered casualties. Furthermore the option to acquire High Command membership in the ingame shop has been made available on iOS devices. High Command provides handy tools like advanced fire control and the ability to queue construction projects that help a leader manage his nation in the most efficient way possible. Last but not least the AI has been tweaked so that mass declarations of war by the AI nations against warmongering players happen less often.

Please check out the list below for more details and a complete overview of all changes in today’s update:

General:

• Due to popular demand the signaleer corps has been given general orders to double their efforts of providing detailed battle reports in order to provide their commanding officers with additional information. The front report will now include a list of units that were lost in battle as well as a button that will directly show the location where a battle took place at.
• It is now possible to acquire a High Command membership in the shop on iOS.
• The option to use landscape mode on tablets has been integrated into the game. From now on you can enjoy the comfort of larger tablet screens and touch screen commands both horizontally and vertically.

Balancing:

• The aggressiveness of AI-controlled Nations has been adjusted. Some nations will preemptively react to military threats with hostile actions fairly soon, while others will keep neutral until military conflict is inevitable. This will result in less scenarios where a player will receive numerous declarations of war by AI opponents in a short amount of time.

Bug fixes:

• A display error has been fixed that provided incorrect information to players with High Command membership regarding the number of games that can be created per month. While the description has incorrectly stated the total number to be 1 game per month in actuality 5 games can be created by a player per month. Please note that games can only be created using a desktop client.
• A bug has been fixed that caused the option of using arrow keys to cycle between provinces and armies to not work as intended.
• An issue was resolved that could cause units to be displayed in front of resource icons, but behind other labels on the map. Resource icons are now correctly displayed in front of units, like other labels on the map.

We hope you’re happy with our newest additions and bug fixes in order to help your efforts on the battlefield! Best of luck, general, now prove yourself on the battlefield!

Attention, Generals!

With today’s release Supremacy 1: The Great War will receive several new additions including a charming replacement for the old advisor, the ability to speed up research progress for units once specific conditions are met, as well as balancing changes and quality of life improvements!

For a complete overview of today’s release, please check the list below:

General:

• Players will now be able to speed up their research efforts by spending Gold. This can only be used to ‘catch up’, though: The speed-up option gets unlocked only if the respective research level could have been reached normally already through continuous research from day 1 (plus a penalty factor). This will allow for more adaptability in scenarios where a player drastically outclasses others by having access to more advanced units of a certain type.
• The ‘Split Army’ command has been reworked for mobile users and will now be much more convenient to use. Also, additional information about split off units will now be displayed to allow for better informed splitting decisions.
• For desktop users the province panel will now display the maximum amount of resources and money a province can produce at 100% moral. This will help players to better understand which provinces will benefit the most from higher morale. This feature has already been made available to mobile users with the last patch.
• The overall size of the map ‘Europe 1914’ has been reduced by 20%. This will effectively move players closer together and allow for a faster paced gaming experience. Players will be able to exploit sloppy troop management more easily while the general viability of hiding troops in the hinterlands will be reduced.
• The amount of victory points for urban provinces has been adjusted to a value of 10 for all cities, except for major capitals which are still worth 15 points.
• Both land and sea connections have been adjusted for several provinces to allow for a smoother relocation of troops.
• The old advisor was replaced by a charming and (at the very least) equally competent female staff officer who will assist players. Especially newer players will benefit from the additional advisor tasks as they will be able to master the complex game mechanics more quickly and catch up with their more experienced counterparts.

Bug Fixes:

• An issue was solved that could cause the popup that appears after confirming a gold transaction to be misplaced when a player tried to construct buildings with gold due to a lack of resources.
• Universally feared gas artillery units will now have to reload their ammunition storage before being able to deploy another deadly salvo of gas clouds. This eliminates a bug where a single unit was able to lay waste to battlefields by creating large amounts of poisonous gas clouds.
• Fixed a notification that informed players about being assigned the role of game admin. This feature was removed with the latest patch.

We hope you enjoy our latest additions to the game, as much as the balance changes and quality of life improvements. Best of luck general, now prove yourself on the battlefield!

Hello afrikaneer72,

thanks for pointing that out. I will forward it and make sure battleships get the amount of love they deserve.

I can't say anything about the 'Daily Spin' or if it's gonna be reimplemented anytime soon, but I'll definitely forward the idea of delaying the rewards for joined games in order to increase activity.

We're discussing alternatives to a daily spin already so keep your eyes peeled for future updates.

Attention, Generals!

With today’s release we fix small bugs and improve mobile responsiveness.

Please check out the list below for more details and a complete overview of all changes in today’s update:

General:

• The responsiveness of the home screen and shop on mobile devices in general and tablets in particular was improved.
• For desktop users the province panel will now display the maximum amount of resources and money a province can produce at 100% moral. This will help players to better understand which provinces will benefit the most from higher morale. This feature has already been made available to mobile users with the last patch.

Bug Fixes:

• An issue was solved that could cause the popup that appears after confirming a Gold transaction to be misplaced when a player tried to construct buildings with gold due to a lack of resources.
• Players on mobile can now see the full list of nations another nation is at war with in the diplomacy section.

We hope you’re happy with our newest additions and bug fixes in order to help your efforts on the battlefield! Best of luck general, now prove yourself on the battlefield!

Attention, Generals!

With today’s release we introduce a reworked version of the province list on mobile devices in the game that allows you to manage your empire in a way more efficient way.

Please check out the list below for more details about the new province list on mobile and a complete overview of all changes in today’s update:

General:

• The Province List on mobile devices was reworked.
  • The province list allows sorting by attributes like “currently producing” (units), “currently building” (buildings), morale, name, or resource.
  • Clicking the province name in the list leads you to the province info popup.
  • Clicking the location icon let's you navigate to the respective province on the map.
• When a building is damaged, the building icon in the province bar and province details screen now highlights the damage with a red tint and a ‘damaged’ icon.
• Players on mobile can see the full list of nations another nation is at war with in the diplomacy section.
• The option to post articles or send messages anonymously in the game was removed to reduce problematic content being shared in game rounds and improve overall game experience for players by not being exposed to such content.
• The province details screen now displays the upkeep cost of the selected province on mobile devices. The resource overview now lists unit and province upkeep separately.
• The responsiveness of panels in the game on mobile devices in general and tablets in particular was improved.
• In user-generated game rounds, the default inactivity time of 5 days was reduced to 2. The default inactive time now matches that of system generated game rounds. This change only applies to game rounds created after today..
• The game admin functionality in game scenarios was removed, as it was hardly ever used by players assigned as admin in a game round, or was often misused.

Bug Fixes:

• An issue on mobile devices was resolved that caused the offline indicator that informs players of a missing internet connection to stay visible on the display after the connection was restored.
• A bug on mobile devices was fixed that could prevent selecting multiple provinces from working correctly. When adding additional provinces to a selected province, the newly added provinces are now highlighted correctly again and the multi army selection mode is no longer activated.

We hope you like the changes and bug fixes of today’s release and wish you all the best on the battlefield.
