Happy Holidays!

As the snow blankets the battlefield and festive lights shine over your territories, we’re taking a moment to wish you peace, joy, and plenty of victories both in Call of War and in life. Regardless of where in the world you are, or how you choose to celebrate, we hope this season brings you holiday cheer and warm memories.

To make this holiday extra festive, you can join the Call of Christmas event maps to celebrate in merry style. Take over Antarctica in this only available once-a-year classic, and get rewarded handsomely with bountiful prizes. And of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a gift - so check in the Operations window for your own little package from Santa himself.

As we look back on the year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you: the grizzled veterans and daring newcomers, the chat celebrities and newspaper poets, the master tacticians and fearless warriors - and of course to all those behind the scenes who brought the game to life. It is your alliances, battles and stories that make Call of War come alive. We are grateful, and humbled, to have such a vibrant community.

We once again want to wish you warm, wonderful holidays and hope you spend a good time with your loved ones. Our eyes are already set on the next year, and we can’t wait for what adventures it will bring.

Balancing changes to alleviate Oil shortages, new tutorial map test and important bug fixes.

We’ve been closely monitoring the impact of the recent Resources Reforged update. From the feedback you all provided it has become clear that there is a shortage of Oil in the early stages of the game. This is why we’ve shifted costs on some units and buildings over to consume the more abundantly available Metal instead. This evens out resource consumption across all stages of the game, leading to a smoother gameplay experience.

Also we are testing improvements to our tutorial maps. Some of our Clash of Nations tutorial maps for new players will now start at war with a neighbouring NPC country, have a rebalanced starting unit setup and a few quality of life improvements. Check out the detailed Release Notes below if you wish to know more about this. Please note that this change is still in testing, and as such only available to a selected number of new players.

Further we fixed an immersion breaking bug on the 1939 - Blitzkrieg and Road to war scenario maps. The flags for many of the countries were mixed up. Now the correct flags are displayed next to the country nametags. Patrolling air units no longer apply the wrong province morale damage, instead applying the correct 50% damage per damage tick. And finally, we fixed an annoying bug on the World at War map, where a province in Mexico paid out ten times the intended Manpower per hour.

Resources Reforged is live now: Goods and Rare Materials are no longer available on newly created maps - Massive overhaul for the World map, adding Rivers around the globe to enhance gameplay.

Goods and Rare Materials have been removed from the game! This change applies to all newly created game rounds. Please read our update news from last week for more information on this change.

The Resource rework also comes with a balancing update to Industry buildings. We’ve slightly increased the initial build costs, but here’s the big payoff: Industry buildings now get a boost in production efficiency at higher levels. This means investing in urban production is a higher-stakes choice - but one that comes with even greater rewards!

Further, we’re thrilled to announce that rivers have arrived on the World map! Following the updates to the European and North American scenarios, rivers now also flow through the World Scenario. They are transforming the battlefield with dangerous choke points and new, surprising routes for naval attacks. Dive in and explore the revamped World at War map, or get ready to experience these changes in the next Free For All event.

After careful consideration and four weeks of extensive testing with the community, we’re moving forward with an update to streamline the resource system in Call of War. As part of this, two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game with the next update.

We understand this change is significant, especially for veteran players who value the depth of a complex resource economy. Our goal is to enrich the gameplay experience for all players. By simplifying resources, the game becomes more approachable for new players, while ensuring every choice remains impactful and rewarding for experienced players.

Meaningful choices and strategic depth

All provinces that produced the removed resources have been rebalanced to produce one of the remaining resources. We reworked resource production with balance in mind, making sure that the overall material output remains the same. So while the overall number of resources will change, the availability of resources to build up your nation remains the same.

This update is not just about simplifying gameplay - it’s about evolving it to create more meaningful decisions. This is why we redistributed the production costs of units. Where previously some tech trees had a bias towards specific resources, now there is greater variety. This makes unit build choices more impactful, creating a new layer of strategic depth to be explored. Especially in team play, resource allocation within coalitions will now take on a whole new level of importance.

Adjustments based on community feedback

Thanks to feedback from our dedicated Frontline Pioneers, we've made several important adjustments to ensure the rebalance feels authentic and remains anchored in the historic setting of the game.

• • Production costs were fine-tuned
• • Iterated on Building costs, creating more varied gameplay options
• • Refined the rural production on some maps to avoid balancing issues with the various doctrines
• • Rebalanced the efficiency of Urban Industry to open up exciting new opportunities for players to fuel their war machines, adding more depth to gameplay
• • There was an unintended creep in Manpower costs when building units. Now the overall MP costs are on the same level as before.

Your input was instrumental in shaping this update, and we hope these changes create a dynamic and competitive experience for all.

Booster Cards

All existing Goods and Rare Material Booster Cards in your inventory will be converted to Money Booster Cards of an equivalent value. This way you can make your own choice on which resources you want to invest in via the Stock Market. This conversion will take place in the upcoming weeks. We will follow up with more information once we start the conversion process.

We will be making important changes to the resource system in an upcoming update. Two resources - Goods and Rare Materials - will be removed from the game. These resources, previously acquired by conquering provinces, will no longer be part of your war economy.

With fewer resources available, competition over the remaining three - Fuel, Food, and Steel - will become more intense, leading to heightened conflict and more meaningful economic choices. By making resources scarcer and more valuable, we give you a deeper, more rewarding strategic experience.



As this shakes up the very fundamentals of Call of War, we want to give our loyal Frontline Pioneers plenty of time to test this update. This is why we have already made the changes available in newly created beta games.
So start up a new beta map, and send us your feedback in our Discord server. This is your opportunity to influence how we iterate on the change before it hits the live servers for all players to enjoy!



With the removal of Goods and Rare Materials, we’ve given all maps a shake-up by redistributing the remaining resources. Discover exciting new opportunities to expand your economic might. We’ve introduced two new setups for rural production: a 4-1-1 layout, where one resource is more plentiful than the others, and a balanced 2-2-2 layout, where all resources are equally available!




To maintain overall cost balance, we also had another look at production costs. We used this opportunity to change the resource needs for different unit types. Before, similar units all used the same resources, but now there’s a lot more variety!

For example, now Interceptors mainly need Food, Tactical Bombers rely on Oil, and Strategic Bombers use a mix of everything. This adds a fun twist to your build orders and trading with allies - planning ahead just got a whole lot more rewarding for the discerning strategist!

We’re excited to see how you tackle these changes, and would love to hear your thoughts - make sure to share them with us right here or on our Discord.
