Response from Trade Deal

I offered a trade deal, and I can't tell if it was accepted. I think it was, but I can't see the import of the resource. Is there a way of seeing a list of your trade deals?

Version 0.88.3 [BETA-Branch]

15 Mar

Hello everyone!

I've noticed that most of the feedback I've received lately highlights the lack of tutorials and guidance. Because of that, I’ve made tutorials a top priority. This update introduces two new tutorials: Military and Economy (with a Diplomacy tutorial coming in the next patch and a Politics tutorial once the political system is implemented).

This version also includes adjustments to happiness calculations, as I’ve seen many players struggling to achieve a reasonable increase in happiness, especially in countries that already have low happiness levels.

Of course, there are also bug fixes! I’ve addressed the most urgent ones so far, while others are still under investigation and will be fixed in future patches.

I would love to hear your feedback on the new tutorials, as I want to expand them even further. If you feel there’s any missing information or anything I should add, please let me know!

Thank you all for your support, and I hope this update makes your gameplay even more enjoyable!

This version supports old saved games (from previous version in the Beta branch) and is available for both Mac and Windows users

New Features

[ADD] Truce system – After signing peace, a truce will be active for 5 years, preventing the player/AI from declaring war during that timeframe.
[ADD] War doctrines (bombing/conquering) – Allows forces to destroy cities and purge populations.
[ADD] Military tutorial.
[ADD] Economic tutorial.
[ADD] Personnel recruitment campaigns – Boosts recruitment for the following year.

Gameplay Changes

[CHANGE] Improved AI reactions to global events to make them more logical.
[CHANGE] Enhanced AI behavior in aerial operations.
[CHANGE] AI will now launch nuclear missiles.
[CHANGE] Added pictures to some UI panels for better immersion.
[CHANGE] Adjustments to happiness calculations.

Bug Fixes

[FIX] AI not pressuring for peace.
[FIX] Spain’s aircraft carrier had 20K HP, causing extreme costs and designer attribute issues.
[FIX] Issue where escorted squadrons/divisions would be lost when attempting to disembark at an invalid location.
[FIX] Disembarkation could occur anywhere instead of requiring a coastal province (fleets now automatically find a coastal point before disembarking selected groups).
[FIX] Adding a pending resource to a trade deal could result in an incorrect amount.
[FIX] Annexing countries could lead to negative populations and NaN values in various places.
[FIX] Loading could get stuck at 95% due to multiple issues with unit loading on the map.
[FIX] All trade deals were set to 10 years, even when signed for different durations.
[FIX] Auto-tracking in Intelligence would keep oil tracking indefinitely.
[FIX] Building media facilities took longer than displayed and built more than ordered.
[FIX] The new year calculation could cause an exception when loading a saved game (no year report).
[FIX] System settings were not saved when returning to the main menu.

World Organisations

What is the point of EU/NATO etc? If I play as Germany and declare war on France no one else intervenes which is ridiculous, will this change at some point in the future?

Hey everyone!

I've analyzed and investigated the most urgent issues and also added a few new features! 😊

Of course, any reported issues that haven't been addressed in this update are still under investigation and will be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and feedback!

I'm still working on a save and load system that will support version changes. In the meantime, old save files are not compatible, so a new game must be started.

Early Access Review

Even after only playing two hours, the following seems clear: this project still in development beats other long-time geopolitical simulator rivals:

- the game runs great, load time and speed of time passing is comfortably fast
- the UI design is smooth, the system feels intuitive (if you have played Paradox games or other economy simulators
- The map modes keep the view clean, you do not get overflooded by icons
- The trade system UI is so much better than Power & Revolutions, and you can propose multiple deals in one go! (thank God!)

The internal politics are currently not part of the playable simulation, seems like it is being reworked. The current features however still keep it fun

I have not been playing this since the start, but looking up update diaries, it is clear that the dev team had to make some hard choices. It feels they made the brave step to reduce features, postpone the shiny roadmap and rather fix the core systems of the game. Hats off for doing that and getting financial support from the board!

This makes me think the zeal and care of the team will bring this game to great heights once more features worked on now will get added.

Protest realism

I think some more thought needs to go into protests and happiness. I changed laws to ban smoking in public places and millions took to the streets. Negotiation failed and arrests simply reduced happiness to 1.0, resulting in an endless cycle of civil unrest. I had similar results trying to introduce a school uniform. While I have no doubt such measures would induce general grumbling and column inches in certain newspapers, triggering the equivalent of the Russian Revolution seems to be going a bit far :D...

Early Access Review

Having played numerous grand strategies political/econ/war sims for over a decade this game is probably the best one yet set in a modern (post 2000) setting. Usually they are either too casual and the simple mechanics suck out all of the enjoyment from planning and navigating a complex-dynamic environment (policies dont work as you would've expected) or overly detailed and herendously optimized. World Warfare and Economics, coming from a small studio and without any marketing hits a perfect balance between the two keeping the gameplay fun for a wide range of players - focus on domestic social and economic policies or wage war like a maniac, its your choice and the devs just give you the environment and tools for that.

The game is still in early development and honestly I am quite sceptical on how long the devs will be able to maintain it, the economic system is not very complex (currently there is no inflation indicator and the only economic policies you can introduce are fiscal (taxes, subsidies), would be fun to see a monetary policy toolkit along with a balance of payment module) so you really just tackle planned economy style "deficits". Nevertheless its more interesting to play than the Millenium Dawn HOI4 mod or Geopolitical Simulator.

The ingame info is very well structured and you have all the data you need to make decisions, everything is simple and quite detailed. I hope the devs will continue working on the game and introduce new features, for instance national focus trees like in Paradox games because this would help you to actually steer a nation towards achieving strategic long term goals on a global scale, rather than constantly battling with "deficits".

15 bucks is a hefty pricetag but I highly recommend to buy this game to support the team and products like these.
