4 weeks left until launch!
The biggest update to our game is currently live if you jump on the beta and we can't wait for you to experience all the new features we've added. There are still more tweaks, bug fixes and more that is currently being worked on but we always appreciate all feedback the community provides.

One of the most exciting additions is our new artillery feature. Now, when you rain down attacks from your artillery, your enemies will be "suppressed," stopping them in their tracks and leaving them vulnerable to your next moves. This feature adds a whole new level of strategy to the game and will change the way you approach battles.

We've also focused heavily on polishing the game to make sure it's as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We've added new audio effects, balance changes, and Japanese factions that comes with unique units, playstyles, and mechanics. We've worked hard to balance all factions and will see more changes as we move forward to launch.
The full balance changes will be out on the official update, and we can't stress enough how excited we are for the launch day on April 7th! It's the biggest update we've ever done, and we've poured our hearts and souls into making it the best it can be.
We appreciate all the support we've received from our players so far, and we couldn't have done it without your help. We'll continue to improve the game in every way possible, from information and UI to AI, sound, animation, maps, and even more balance changes in the future.
In the meantime, jump on the beta and enjoy the new factions which will be available to purchase with the new campaign and scenarios on release. Get ready to conquer the battlefield in a whole new way!
