- 1.0.21 - 21 September 2026
New: * Added Fortify campaign objective. Build AA, Forts, and Pillboxes to a specified amount before leaving! * New Campaigns will now summarize various stats about your campaign upon succesful completion.

- Dread Admiral + Boylei Hobby Time video - 13 September 2026
Hello all!While I work on getting 1.0.14 up, Boylei put up a video shouting out Dread Admiral. I wanted to repay his kindness by hopefully pointing some of your eyes his way.

- Version 1.0.12 - achievement fixes, mild nerf to mid/late game ship costs - 11 September 2026
Version 1.0.12 Balance: * Mid/Late game building costs increased, some significantly so * BB, CV, SBB, SCV, SDD, SSS costs increased by roughly 10% -> cost increases are in hopes of reducing the snowballing a bit and create more meaningful choices. As bigger ships become less efficient at cost but retain production efficiency and between missions, it might incentivize more play with Cruisers/CVLs mid campaign. Map Balance: * City sizes should vary more often. Note: The aim is to try and get about 10-15 size usually, while having occasional 20-50 size Minor: * Plane repair bay will no longer claim to apply to every unit * Fixed a bug regarding End of Campaign achievements * Fixed a bug where save/loading could 'forget' Pheonix or other achievements * Many achievements no longer require a successful Objective to complete * City turrets for AAII and AAIII will now animate * Fixed a bug whe…
