      New maximum storage capacity for War Bonds, fix of the embarkment/disembarkment bug and more!

      We’re introducing a new maximum storage capacity for War Bonds! We have heard your feedback about strategies that involve stockpiling War Bonds, so we are shaking things up to keep the action flowing. With this change, players who log in daily and spend their War Bonds smartly will have an edge, rewarding active participation on the map. And it also makes gameplay more predictable - no more late game surprises about how many War Bonds your opponent might be sitting on!
      Please note that this change also makes an already existing storage cap on Manpower visible. This cap was already in place before today’s update, and as such won’t impact gameplay.

      Further we have fixed a critical bug surrounding embarkment and disembarkment of units. The bug allowed crafty Generals to skip the intended timer for the action. Now everything works as intended, making naval landing forces as vulnerable as they should be during the critical phases of an invasion.

      For a closer look at all the changes please check out the detailed Release Notes and share your feedback with us right here on the Forums and on our Discord Server.

    • Far too low. Bad move. Cap could = the time limit before going inactive. Going to drag the game out even more or players resort to gold. Resources are difficult as it is.

      Going to result in more retirements/players leaving. Whoever thought of this wants their head examining. Clearly a gold buying exercise and further helps make the game a golders and thus credit card oasis.

      After going into my games to "use up" my "excess" warbonds, I realized that this is simply another ploy by Bytro/Stillfront to get more players to spend gold. You can only heal units to max and reveal armies so much.

      Rushing research or buildings means that you must have the resources to do that. And if the market is stupidly overpriced and you don't have the cash, you must use gold! 100K would have been a logical and reasonable limit/cap.
      This change also makes sabotaging buildings almost obsolete (can only do it once with the cap amount). Sabotaging is hardly ever a good use of warbonds but still!

      Bytro over-corrected and re-broke the game, par for the course!
    • This cap on war bonds is complete BS. you have all these players who just spam every unit they can afford the very second they can afford it. And they just keep throwing everything at the wall hoping it will stick. And most of them do it because they have no strategy and use no tactics. Their entire game is keep sending everything until they are out of units or the opponent has to eventually go to sleep at which point they get over run. So now the guy who fought with the army he had and was skilled enough to do it without the use of bonds is now punished. you are once again supporting the players who don't know how to play and punishing those who do. I mean in speed rounds the 45,000 cap won't even get you through 6 hours sleep. and negating one of the few advantages for having a premium account. and you might as well get rid of the sabotage building instant spy action. No one will ever be able to use that to any effect with the cap. So, why even bother with bonds? You created, everyone spends their bonds how and when they want to and how and where they see fit. Again rewarding the slack and poor players and punishing those who learn to use things wisely. And when I am running a coalition, unlike most i'm sure, I try to save my bonds so I can somehow help support a coalition member if and when its needed. Might as well for get that from any strategy plan. So basically, you're forcing us to use bonds as soon as we get them. I guess I would ask, why did you even invent bonds to the game if you don't want us to have and use them? Oh, yeah I forgot! Every day the Bytro staff wakes up, they have a million messages from crying NOOBS. First they don't know how to play and earn gold, so they cry. Then you give them bonds to compensate. Now that they can't figure out how to use the bonds correctly and they send more messages, you have to now limit the players who can get by and save their bonds, even though they got exactly the same amount of bonds as the noob who spent his. I think administration would be better served by their efforts and would better serve their community of players if you started implementing advisers who play, instruct, and teach players how to play. They're obviously never going to take the time to figure it out on their own. So, as usual, the players who do it correctly are punished, and any form of strategy and tactics are again removed and negated. Hooray to all the slack no nothing players! You're the players who ruin this game for everyone and Bytro loves and supports you in all your endeavors. PATHETIC!
    • Very horrible. I highly doubt that many players complained about not having a cap. A cap would be fine but 36k is insanely low… the game is already pay to win. I’m surprised CoW hasn’t been reported yet. Everything thing is so expensive later in the game, 36k won’t help at all. Definitely just trying to make more money off their players that buy gold.
    • Bytro, I hope your company rots in hell as Satan will be.

      Yo chat, why is it that EVERYTHING good that Bytro has must these greedy devs ruin?! CoW was our home, it was where our coconut alliance was born... now there's only love in the dark.

      Not only have they just made CoW CON 2.0, they just destroyed the glorious Coconut Union, they destroyed thousands upon thousands of alliances. EVERYTHING me and my people, and fellow players worked for and dedicated time for is now gone.

      Bytro devs, screw you. You remove posts that harm your marketing, you're only hurting yourselves. I encourage anyone who knows how to program to make another game that is also exactly like CoW and to release it so we can all play that instead of this useless p2w BS.

      The graphics suck, the controls suck, the resources suck.

      Bytro, are you happy now? You just made call of war to become Iron order on poison pills.

      Powerful words.

      Not going to lie, Iron Order was an interesting concept, but it just lacked the interest by the majority of people, resulting in it being never really alive

    • For me, I would be better off if we just returned to the previous state of the game (ie, before war bonds), because I think war bonds are unnecessary and totally realistic. For me, I would prefer to encounter a mass golder (and lose a game unfairly) every once in a while, over constant artificial gold actions every game. This cap will only exacerbate that, encouraging players to spend more war bonds more often. I think that they should just remove the war bonds entirely and go back to the old gold system.
