NEW FEATURES
Heavy Artillery Board
- Command heavy-caliber guns from a dedicated board: the 305 Howitzer, the 381 Railway Gun and off-map Naval support.
- Coordinate-based targeting on the Alpine front map, with cinematic firing sequences (recoil, muzzle flash, smoke and blast).
- Weather and communications can garble your coordinates — beware friendly fire, and confirm the target when in doubt.
Engineer Panel (Genio)
- Choose what your Engineers build and deploy, gated by resources and historical timing.
- The 305 Howitzer and the 381 Railway Gun are exclusive: swap between them from the panel.
In-Game Manual & Buildings Glossary
- A full manual with chapters and info cards for every building, reachable from Settings, Pause and the Main Menu.
Hospital "Red Code" System
- Emergency surgery decisions with a doctor's briefing; surgical capacity scales with the hospital's level, and outcomes affect morale.
Missions, Medals & Contracts
- Mission system with dozens of assignments from your officers, plus a Medals board for your honours.
- Negotiate supply contracts with city mayors; convoys travel with a real delivery time and a warehouse report on arrival.
Atmosphere
- Open-air Cinema screenings, ambient life around camp buildings, and a new studio intro sequence.
Endgame Overhaul
- Reworked Victory and Defeat screens with reason and final statistics (and your earned rank on victory).
- A Mutiny crisis with a hard choice — Decimation or Negotiation — and a living "unrest" system.
Full localization in Italian, English, French and German.
IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
- City contract deliveries now arrive on the promised date.
- Mayor negotiations rebalanced — a mayor's preferred approach now reliably works (Corrupt and Pacifist mayors are winnable again).
- Fixed "keep morale high" missions that could be completed instantly.
- NPC / missions panel restyled and no longer misaligns on reopen.
- Fixed the defeat screen "Main Menu" button; background music no longer overlaps General Cadorna's voice or the main menu.
- Active Contracts panel cleanup, clearer mission buttons, strategic-map mouse controls, and various text fixes.
