Hi everyone,
We finally finished this big update!
We have completely reworked the squad system. You can fully customize your squads and the single unit of your squad, including their weapons and clothes. And we have extended the infantry squad to a maximum of 9 people.
We also reworked the world map, improved combat AI, character attributes and tried to polish gameplay in general. We didn't include the artillery in this update because we still need more time to test this function.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to load your previous game due to a large number of fundamental improvements to the game's core system.

THANK YOU guys, i've been playing now for like six hours in a row! I'm soooooo happy, you woudn't believe it! I hope you enjoy this massive sucess, the game is awesome!!! This page is on refresh like for two weeks, and I almost pissed myself with this post.
And now for some feedback:
- I LOVE this squad customization. I spent some time rearranging, renaming and taking off the bandanas and balaclavas, as my soldiers are fighting for freedom, so they'd never hide their faces! I have my red guard with submachine guns, a lot of rifle-only squads from different origins, it's a blast! BUT, then again, I'd like to really fully costumize them. Even if that's enough for…
So fast ! Can't wait .
-The game doesn't automatically pause on the world map (wip)
But this is not good .
