It gives me a clear direction for upcoming features in the months ahead.

You asked for it — you got it!

Alt-history ranked first in the poll, so you can now vary your game starts with random alternate-historical events. You can adjust the level of historical inaccuracy you're willing to tolerate, as well as the number of such events at scenario start; all from the options menu.

There are four levels of alt-history in this system:

  • Almost Happened

  • Far-Fetched

  • Wild Speculation

  • Moon Nazis

Needless to say, serious gentlemen probably won’t venture beyond the “Far-Fetched” level.

“Wild Speculation” events have clearly been written by Tom Clancy fans, while “Moon Nazis” events are… well, just an average Monday under Trump’s presidency.

I encourage you to try different scenario starting dates: the events won't be the same!

Think of this as the foundation for a larger system: more events will be added, and in-game alt-history will continue to expand.

Because yes , there is a long-term plan!

The second most requested feature, and the one I’ll be starting work on soon, is the game editor.

I have no doubt that you — the players — will fill the game with your own fascinating events.

Pax Americana

This is the other big news today!

I hope you’ll be as satisfied with this DLC as I and the playtesters are. Imagine a timeline extended all the way to 2001!

You will be able to:

  • Make the USSR last into the 21st century

  • Take down Black Hawk

  • Crash markets like an apprentice oligarch

  • Prevent 9/11

  • Lose the Chechen War on your own terms

  • Survive the Y2K bug and the dot-com bubble

  • Carry out regime change in the Persian Gulf

  • And much more — the crazy ’90s are waiting for you!

  • Play a 1949-2001 Grand Campaign

  • Play a 1945-2001 Grand Campaign if you own "Grandeur et Illusions"

Brazilian Portuguese localization

I know that Italian and Polish localizations have been requested many times — don’t worry, they are underway!

Have fun!

Maestro
