• Update 0.7.6: Alliances and Fun! - 24 September 2026

  Greetings once again, esteemed ladies and gentlemen! The marathon of powerful and truly useful updates continues. Moreover, I am happy to announce that the main stage of the game’s development is gradually and successfully coming to an end, and the game will definitely leave early access in the first half of next year! (unless, of course, Russian shelling interferes)Well, and today we have a lot of everything: from a significant improvement in graphics, reworked and fully working alliances, an infographics menu... to new, very useful and convenient features for the general!GRAPHICS IMPROVEMENTSI think comments are unnecessary here... A considerable amount of work has been done, and now the game, together with country names on the map and cinematic lighting, looks simply INCREDIBLE! (and without any loss of optimization!)INFOGRAPHICS MENU AND DIPLOMACYA new menu has been added — the info…

• Update 0.7.5: combat system improvements! - 9 September 2026

  I greet you again, dear players! I am very glad to release a new update that significantly improves the military AI, making wars many times more difficult, and also adds many improvements and fixes to battles and brigade management! In addition, it also fixes other bugs and shortcomings, although not as significant as before, because thanks to previous patches there are no longer such critical bugs in the game!Display of brigade stacking!Now you can see the number of brigades located in one province. This is a very useful change that makes army management much more pleasant and convenient!Complex AI military operations!Now the AI is able to conduct some rather complex military operations, in particular, it can break out of semi-encirclements, and even forms strike fists to rescue already encircled comrades! In addition, the AI now focuses on the strength of your brigades, trying to atta…

• Update 0.7.4! - 22 August 2026

  Greetings again, dear ones! Ukrainian Games Fest is ongoing, and I am very glad how the game is improving! Over the last few days, quite a few bugs have been fixed, again ranging from minor ones to rather important and quite old ones. In addition, a new, very interesting feature has been added — ports, which are essentially present in any coastal city and are necessary for transporting troops by water!Below you can see the full list of changes:Added ports mechanic: now troops can enter the water exclusively from coastal citiesThe number of triangles has been reduced by another 5 times thanks to model optimizationUpdated the Unity engine, thanks to which exiting the game works normally again!Game size reduced almost threefold!Fixed a bug with a dark screen if day/night cycle change is disabled while pausedFixed a bug with the absence of the effect of the “promote centrism” decisionFixed…

• Update 0.7.3 - 17 August 2026

  Good evening, dear ones! I am glad to announce that update 0.7.3 has finally been released! It includes numerous improvements to the gameplay experience, from significant optimization improvements and fixes for critical, including rather old bugs, to new tooltips in the diplomacy menu!Now the game no longer eats up all the resources of the graphics card!First of all, a bug was fixed due to which the FPS limit did not work. In most cases, this was exactly what led to maximum load on the graphics card under any conditions. However, another problem turned out to be the army models on the map: previously they consumed an unjustifiably large number of triangles due to an already fixed bug with their LODs.But the main optimization innovation was the “Lazy Render” technology invented by me. In short - now the game will require much fewer graphics card resources while being in various game menu…

• Update 0.7.2 - 18 July 2026

  This patch is aimed at improving the quality of the game, in particular at a significant improvement of the interface (which for me is revolutionary), adding a large number of characters, starting power plants, and fixing bugs.The interface has really become much higher quality. Just look at it!Now the game looks much more mature and professional. The in-game menu interface, in my opinion, was already relatively good, but it has also received additional improvements, in particular by reducing the width of lines and adding depth to individual elements.Also - I added many starting country leaders and even prime ministers! Separately, I want to mention the problem that players faced when playing as most countries without content: the lack of power plants, which made it impossible to build (and not everyone knows how to buy electricity, unfortunately). A respected member of my team heroical…

  Greetings, dear players of Flame of Modern Europe! I am glad to announce that today update 0.7: "PLAYABLE!" has finally been released!It contains many new and important changes, but the main goal of the update is to improve the playability of the project. In particular, through improved localization, basic in-game tooltips, deepening of existing mechanics, and so on.Combat MechanicsThe combat mechanics update includes the addition of a large number of new variables, such as modifiers for attack, defense, combat effectiveness, etc. This was made possible by adding a full-fledged template editor to the game! Now you can bring your craziest ideas to life: from a regiment of drones to a brigade of motorcyclists!What? Drones? In 2013? No! Well, not exactly. Because now the game has production!This is a fairly simple mechanic that allows you to use your military factories effectively: sew clo…

  Greetings, dear players of Flame of Modern Europe! Exactly one year ago, on April 21, 2025, the game was released into early access. It came out very raw and had a lot of problems.

• UPDATE 0.5 - FIRST FLAMES! - 20 December 2025

  Greetings, dear players of Flames in Modern Europe! Winter has come, but I have a way to make it a little warmer!I’m glad to announce that update 0.5 is finally out!Unlike previous updates, its development took almost twice as long, and it was focused on filling existing mechanics with content. In particular, Germany, France and Spain received full storylines with unique courses!The main star of the update is Germany. It has the largest number of courses in the game, running from the 2013 Bundestag elections through the COVID pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and even to EU unification! This is directly tied to the record support the game has received from that country, for which I thank you very much!France and Spain were developed by new members of the dev team. They worked hard, and those countries also have more than 100 courses, but honestly there are still a lot of bugs. The…

• Patches 0.4.1 & 0.4.2 - 4 October 2025

  Several patches for the game were released over these three days. There were quite a few fixes, but a few are worth mentioning: 1. Achievements have been fixed. Due to a technical issue, they were not only unavailable, but also completely disrupted Ukraine's courses. By the way, expect a redesign of achievements in the future. 2. Fixed a very old problem (since the demo version!) with the “Support Lukashenko” course, namely with checking for the availability of money. 3. Fixed the function of giving new names to countries (previously, instead of a new name, you could see “NO”). In general, now you can play for Ukraine in any way without any problems! Finally! 4. The field of view now also disables the display of troop models. At first, I didn't want to do this because it looked pretty cool, but it will be more logical and much more efficient, because with a large number of troops, it pu…

• Flames in Modern Europe at the Ukrainian Games Festival! - 14 August 2025

  Unexpected? For many, probably yes, but right now, on this occasion, the game has the biggest discount in its history – 30 percent! There won’t be a bigger discount this year.

And most of all, I am proud that we created one of the most beautiful global strategies in the world! 😍Thanks to everyone! Glory to Ukraine ❤️‍🔥 – Stand with Freedom!-Marsenko

• Update 0.2 – the first major update! - 30 June 2025

  I’m excited to announce the biggest update so far is now live! This update brings major graphical improvements, powerful optimizations, deeper gameplay complexity — and much more! Originally, this update was meant to only add parliamentary elections... but it quickly grew into a complete overhaul of the map shader, camera (again 🫠), and textures! 🗺 Honestly, I can’t imagine how we used to play before this. Now the map is truly stunning — even at maximum zoom! 🤩Previously, the game used a 12K resolution terrain texture. It looked decent from afar, but as you zoomed in, the blurriness became very noticeable. Now the game uses a completely different technology — even on the lowest settings, the terrain stays perfectly sharp! 🥳 📸 Naturally, this required a camera update as well, allowing for much greater zoom-in. In the future, zoom range might be expanded even further. I’ve also start…
