We're preparing a substantial update for next weekend that will bring major improvements - but requires important planning on your part:

⚠️ Save File Warning This update will affect existing save files. We strongly recommend:

  • Completing current campaigns before next weekend

  • Or delaying the update if mid-campaign

Key Changes Coming:

Map Rebalance (Performance & Gameplay)

  • Territories reduced from 3,350 to 1,800 for better performance and regional balance

  • Some city-states moved to Beautiful World mode's "Historical" options

New Head Quarters (HQ) Buildings

  • HQ Provides: (Only 1 allowed)

    • +50% monthly influence for that territory

    • +10k storage capacity

    • Unlocks Special Operations buildings

  • Complimentary Grand Park & Culture Center options

Special Operations can now be carried out without being Head of State

  • Now requires:

    1. New "Private Militia" bill approval

    2. Purchasing buildings directly (maintenance costs deduct from your balance, not state funds)

Major Tourist Attractions

  • 20 global Tourist Attractions added to the Map

  • They Increase transportation costs by 25% but boosts state Investment revenue by 10% (Highways, Trains and Airports)

Routine bug fixes and balancing

We'll share complete patch notes when the update goes live. Prepare your strategies accordingly!

Best, GrandPaw Games
