• v4.5.1 Patch Notes - 16 September 2026

• v4.5.0 - Unit Visuals + More! - 20 July 2026

  Hello everyone!Let's get straight to all the new stuff. 😋Unit Visuals 💂This update adds maybe one of most notable changes to frontlines. You can now add some extra flair to your wars by displaying a line of units across active battle lines. These frontlines will also be reinforced from the nearest core or capital.Note that these units don't have actual health of combat stats, they are just visual (at least for now).Sorry for the very compressed gifs, they look a lot smoother in game 😄You have some options to configure how exactly you want the units to appear. Edit these from the bottom-left-corner gear icon. You can make a thick and snappy line of units, or a more slowly moving and scattered bunch. The choice is yours, make sure to do some experimentation.This feature was originally part of a mod for the game but it (and the next one) was so good that me and the mod creator agreed I…

• v4.4.2 Patch Notes - 18 June 2026

  Hey everyone!This update mainly focuses on the Flag tools, and should make painting them easier. The biggest change is for the line tool, which can now go in any direction, as opposed to just straight horizontally and vertically.To draw a line: Hold shift, and click and hold on the initial position and drag towards the end point. Then let go to accept the current line.Circle tool has also been improved in a way where it now shows a preview of the circle when you hold down Alt. In addition the shape of circles has also been improved, so hopefully they now look smoother!In addition, some new colours, patterns and icons have been added to the Random Flag options.For maps with lots of occupied territory, you can now Right Click on an occupation at it will select its rightful owner. This is especially useful for quickly selecting dead nations.v4.4.2 Full ChangelogAdditionsAdded more Random f…

• v4.4.1 Patch Notes - 15 May 2026

  Hey what's up guys!After the last update many requested for better tools for painting occupations and rightful territories. This update makes that possible!Territory Painting Layers 🎨Previously, by painting you always overwrote both the owner and the rightful owner, unless the nations were at war. Now there are two layers to paint for: Owner and Rightful OwnerLike the tooltip says, most of the time you want to keep both these layers on to paint normal land changes. But if you want to paint occupations, or rightful territory for one nation, or more concrete preset revolt borders, these layers become quite useful.Here's how each configuration works:Here's another showcase of the "Rightful Territory Paint Mode" that appears when you only have that layer on. Don't get it mixed with the Diplomatic Map Mode!This should make painting with the new rightful territory system much easier. Also ch…

• v4.4.0 - Lost Territories & Puppet Autonomy - 22 April 2026

  Hey everyone!🛠️ Before we get started, I'd like to note that as the features in this update change quite a few things, not all the mechanics are yet fully realized, and are bound to change based on player feedback from this initial version. I figured better to put it out there are hone it further in upcoming updates.Now let's get to it!Lost and Rightful Territories 📜💪Previously, occupations happened whenever land was conquered during wars. It didn't matter who held it at the beginning.For example, France occupied parts of Germany, and then they pushed them back, Germany's reclaimed losses would show as occupied by Germany. But no more!Now, the original (or rightful) owner of land is remembered, so now if during the war the attacker is pushed back, the reclaimed territory will show as normal. Hurray!But that's only the beginning...Now, when the war ends, and one side loses land, it st…

• v4.3.5 Patch Notes - 24 January 2026

  Hello there guys!Let's get into it!Better Alliance Editing 🛡️Since unions were added, editing them was quite tedious, by having to manually input unity values to change their status. Now it's much easier.The pen icon that used to rename alliance now opens a new window where you can also easily which between alliances and unions, and even disband or unify the alliance!Custom Workshop Item Thumbnails 🖼️If you have artistic tendencies, or want to show your scenarios in better detail, you can now upload your items with custom thumbnails. -To use your art, you need to put your thumbnails into a "_workshop_thumbnails_"-folder. This folder can be found where your saves and scenarios are saved.Try to keep your thumbnail file size small, like under 2MB, since they will take up your cloud space and the upload might fail if the image is too big!Some recommendations for custom thumbnailsMake the…

• v4.3.4 Patch Notes - 2 January 2026

  🎆 Happy New Year Everyone! 🎉I hope 2026 will be good to all of you. Now, let's get into the big main addition...Custom Major Battles ⚔️You can now directly spawn battles from God Mode Tools. There are two ways to do it:Spawn them for a specific nation 👑 - If you have a nation selected, any battles spawned will always result in victory for that nation. This is good when you know what you want to happen. Note that when a nation is selected, you can only spawn battles on their territory and on their enemy's territory!Spawn them with a random result 🎲 - If no nation is selected, you can spawn battles on any warring nation's territory. The battle result will be random between them and their enemy.Battles should be spawned near the frontlines. If you try to spawn it deep in their territory, it will not work.Terrain Bucket Tool 🧺Similarly to the Edit Territory tool, you can now also use a…

• v4.3.0 - Economy Rework & Major Battles! - 16 October 2025

  Hey everyone!Let's get straight into it!Economy Rework 💵This update massively changes how gold is generated and used in the game!Say goodbye to the simple "Make money while at peace, lose it while in war"-system.Nations now have a more detailed panel showcasing how exactly gold is generated, and how it is lost.💰 Nations' gold now changes in economic "ticks", instead of every frame. This change is based on different positive or negative "Bonuses" they have during that tick.⭐ Some of these bonuses are fixed, like land and core income, or expenses like regular cities. There are some nation specific constants, like having mostly harsh environment, which gives a small economic penalty.⚔️ One of the biggest changes is that the main expense when it comes to war is now Combat Efficiency, which previously had no impact on gold generation.♟️ There is a new default Combat Efficiency Setting call…

• v4.2.0 - Alliance/Union Rework - 19 August 2025

  Hi everyone!Before getting to the update...❤️❤️❤️ The feedback is always fun to read!🎉🎉🎉 Here's to a thousand more!Now, check out all the stuff that's changed!Alliance / Unifications Rework 🛡️As you know, previously alliances and their inner workings were pretty unknown to the player. Nations sometimes left alliances, sometimes unions happened, which often resulted in crazy long nation names.That has now changed!Unions & Alliance UnityAlliances can now form Unions. (check out Mali States & Saudi-Arabia Republic below)These are more "unified" alliances, and appear on the map as semi-complete nations. But under the hood, they are still their individual members, which can still act with their own interest.Unions now have more fitting names, so no more seeing "France-Germany-Luxemburg-Sweden" on the map!Alliances now collect and depend upon Unity. This is gained by fighting wars, gainin…
