A big update for GBOCXII is set to be released in 2024.
In this update, the battlefield grid has been changed from hexagon-based to square-based to allow for more aesthetically pleasing and correct formations. Attacking and movement have also been altered to consume varying amounts of access points (AP) depending on the terrain, such as roads, forests, and hills. In addition, a variety of new uniforms for officers, drummers, pipers, Russian streltsy, and more have been added. All these new units, along with the existing ones, are now positioned in more historically accurate formations. Multiple hours of background music have also been added.
Important note: There is a bug that causes freezing in the current version of the game on Steam.
Update, 26th of September: Unfortunately, my work on the update will only resume in the beginning of November because of my current study/work situation that leaves little free time.
Updated list of additions, 5th of june: - Approximately 100 new unique uniforms for all regiments and countries. - Over 100 hand-edited historical banners and pennants for all three countries, based on Olof Hoffmanβs depictions. They are carried by individual soldiers and fly over the formations. - Custom animations and uniform variations for drummers, trumpeters, officers, and non-commissioned officers. - In-game historical battlefield commanders (e.g., Karl XII). - Over 300 βsemi-realisticβ faces for soldiers from various countries, hand-edited with different hair and beards depending on the country. - More than 1000 new voice lines in Swedish and German, most offering variations of previous voice lines. - Enhanced troop formations to increase historical accuracy, particularly for Sweden. - A new division of soldiers in terms of numbers. I have a specific rationale behind how the soldiers have been divided this time to strike a balance between historical accuracy and gameplay. - Extensive new equipment, such as 'gulyay-gorod' (walking forts) for the Streltsy and separate units for feldshers and priests with wagons, partially using original 17th-century drawings as textures. Additionally, various conquerable tents stocked with supplies or weapons have been introduced. - Height differences in terrains, including updates to how forts and walls look and can be stormed. - New animations, particularly for the Streltsy, focusing on interactions between new weapon types like the bardiche, musket, and sword. Old animations have been revised. - Several distinctive drum rolls for various regiments on the battlefield. A unique composition for the Victory at Narva March has been created from scratch. Shout-out to CWGRAND on Spotify for this great composition. Additionally, 70 new tracks of epic game music have been added that are NOT historical.
I still need to make adjustments and conduct extensive testing to ensure everything functions flawlessly as the game has been redesigned from the core. There is also a consideration regarding the increase in the game's file size :) I am committed to releasing the complete update once I am fully confident that everything has been thoroughly tested and is functional.

Thank you for supporting us on our journey to honour the glorious history of Sweden!
Allow us to present the 500-year anniversary update, celebrating Gustav Vasa, and the birth of Sweden as a unified and hereditary monarchy. Experience the battlefields of the great northern war like never before with new, animated 3D models, improved overall aesthetics and realistic voice acting in Swedish, German and Russian.
Note: If you find any more bugs we would greatly appreciate it if you report them here. If bugs are found, an update will be released no later than Monday next week.
For those of you who play GBOCXII for the first time, I want to say a few words.
This computer game originated as a modest school project and has been evolving with each passing month. It will continue to receive numerous updates for many years to come. Moreover, we have exciting plans to delve into other significant events in the history of Sweden.
While the battle system in GBOCXII has improved over time, both in terms of gameplay and historical accuracy, it does not emulate the actual tactics employed by different armies during that era. Several adaptations have been made to fit the historical battles into a computer game format. For instance, in the game, each Swedish infantry regiment comprises 1168 men, although their actual numbers were seldom this high. Additionally, musketeers, pikemen, and grenadiers are led separately instead of being part of a unified formation, but divided into two battalions, as it was in reality. Conversely, the cavalry regiments fight together as a cohesive unit, which would have been impractical in real-life scenarios.
Hence, it is important to note that the game does not claim to be historically accurate in every aspect. Similarly, it does not strive to be an intricately strategic game. To gain a thorough understanding of the battle system mechanics, I highly recommend watching the tutorial video, accessible from the game's main menu.
Thank you once again for your support, and we hope you enjoy your experience with the game as we pay tribute to Sweden's remarkable past!

Greetings soldier!
We have now released a new update with new features and bug fixes. This update, among other things, adds a new map (Fraustadt), a "next unit" button and a new victory screen with statistics. The update also introduces a new character selection menu. This menu lets the player choose which character he wants to be.
π²πππππΈπππ πΎππππππ can also today proudly present the goals for the coming year 2022:
More historical maps/battles from the Great Northern War 1700-1709 will be added in the upcoming updates. We want the maps to be varied and the game to reflect the entire Carolean campaign. Sometime in the future, we want all battles with significant historical weight to be in the game.
More documentary-like movies will be added to the game. We will create a written manual along with a video tutorial series.
Our work with developing the "custom battle creator" will continue.
We will continue working on the character system.

Hello everyone!
This update adds the option for the player to set their preferred graphics level in a drop-down menu. Lowering the graphics from high to medium will result in much better performance for players running the game with worse specifications. However, it will only decrease the quality of the 3D models slightly.
