Commanders,

We have an exciting event you’re sure to love!

The world is on the brink of a nuclear wipeout. Tension between nations is rising and world war 3 is imminent. Nations have stocked up on their nuclear arsenal and dedicated years of research in preparation for the impending apocalypse.

Will your strategic and nuclear prowess prove victorious, or will you fall victim to a nuclear wipeout? This game mode will give you:

• Nuclear Warheads at game start
• The World War 2020 28 Player Map to play on
• All Research available from Day 1

World War Apocalypse games will be spawned throughout the coming days, starting today!

In our previous developer log we mentioned graphical representations for the anti-air units when reloading and attacking. Progress is coming along nicely; especially considering the developer responsible for implementing the graphics was also working on a clipping issue, which would present itself when a number of units are within the sprite boxes of each other.

Along with the visual changes you will also see a change in reload timers, as they have been reduced to 10 minutes per reload.

Furthermore we added our new logo and started our WORLD CUP SALES BONANZA – if you want to know more, please visit the forum.
