We just added collectible cards into the game!
Wow! Hope you like it!)

I would also like to tell you about the announcement of tomorrow's update and update on Friday:
1. Difficulty. You choosed this update in second|third voting)
Finally we will add 4 levels of difficulty. Until adding normal tutorial everyone was playing at the second level. Tomorrow you will be able to play at a much more difficult level, faced with the power of some AI)
2. Records. You choosed this update in second|third voting)
I came up with a rather complex and objective scoring system for the record. I will tell you more details right after we update it.
3. Tutorial. We will redo the training and make it completely different. In addition, we will redo the tips.
4. Tips. We will add such a thing as prompt that will appear at one time or another. We will also try to add voice-over to these prompts in English and Russian before the end of the week. Due to the large number of players from Germany, we will try to add a German translation later.
I don’t know if we’re going to have Revolutions this week. Most likely - yes, but there is a chance that we will add them next week. I would like to implement everything at once, but apparently I will have to do updates one-by-one)
Thank you for supporting us and for going all the way to release with us;)

Today was a small update.
- Changed: recharge trades in IMF stocks. Now recharge is always 10 moves. Now winning through the IMF will take an average of 200 moves (instead of 120 moves earlier)
- Changed: The tasks of mercenaries against competitors are now more often takes away fixed gold from the enemy. Tasks to reduce the total cost of the enemy will be 2.3 times less than before
- Changed: The cost of the armies involved in wars increased, starting with the 100th move. On the 300th move, the cost of the armies will be 2.7 times greater than before.
- Fixed: Bug with a map in which three countries having access to the sea attacked the maritime countries first, instead of a land attack.
Minor settings and edits are made constantly, but I thought that you probably wondered in which direction the edits were moving. Because I probably will write them
We are preparing a big update this week. Texts are given for translations and wait) As soon as the translations are ready, we will introduce them into the game.

Friday’s second big update is the point you voted for - the new use of the Guard.
From the second level of the building you have a new use for the Guard. Now you can send your guards as mercenaries for all sorts of dark missions:
- Perform tasks for Kings and members of royal families. Instead, you get mostly influence.
- Perform tasks for rich merchants. In return, you get mostly gold and resources. This also includes your personal tasks - like “rob a sawmill” and others. Now you can definitely be Evil Banker)
- Create problems for your competitors. Probably the most desirable item) Now you can conduct full-fledged sabotage and destroy the property of your competitors.
The update is quite large and completely changed the game. In addition, next week there will be 3 more major updates that will strengthen the players - so I will correct the AI ​​and make it smarter. Also next week we will introduce difficulty levels in the game. So very soon the game will be ready)
And new training and tips will also be added. 12 pages of text instead of three)
So if you have not bought the game yet - the end of the next week is the time;)

We made a very unusual update. And very similar to how it happens in reality)
In the "Credits" department you can issue loans to your competitors. By entering there, you will see what loans your competitors are asking for - for how long and what percentage of the profits they offer. If for some reason the bank does not have enough cash at the time of repayment of the loan, it will be declared bankrupt, its property will be nationalized and the country will pay you this debt.
Want to help someone? Give them a loan. Do you want to ruin someone? Give them a huge loan)

One more big update is Guards, but I will tell about it tomorrow ;)

A few days ago we received approval for the creation of collectible cards and today we finished them and sent them for approval.
So very soon you will receive cards on your accounts!
We hope this good news will please you as well as us)
In addition, today we have completed two new large updates - "New tasks for the Guard" (for which you voted) and "New type of credits". However, it was decided to test them until tomorrow, fix bugs and then upload to Steam.
In addition, there will be 3 more major updates +"new tutorial" that we want to enter into the game. Hope we will launch them next week
Thank you for your support and here is one of the cards that you will receive very soon;)

Today we are introducing an update about which you have been asking for a long time and for which you have voted - while we present it in a test mode. Now the game lasts 300 moves - 75 years. To do this, we had to make a number of changes:
- Changed the cost of the Fed. The price of improvements in fear has increased most of all, then in gold. And least of all the price increased in influence.
- Strengthened the participation of AI in the wars. Now they are much more likely to protect their investments and participate in wars against the regions of the top5 banks.
- Enhanced AI. We are preparing for the introduction of difficulties in the game - therefore we have better tuned them so that in the future it would be more convenient to choose the complexity
- Recycled stats managers. At a certain stage they became stronger, but at a later stage they will be slightly weaker.
Today I have finally drawn up a plan for all the updates and connected them into a single system. Most likely we will introduce all planned updates in the next two weeks. On the weekend I will write exactly what updates I have planned.
About the Revolution. I wanted to add beauty to such an interesting element, so I decided to finish drawing more interesting elements - including a completely new scene of the conspirators. So we will probably not have time for a Revolution tomorrow, but we will introduce it next week. But tomorrow there will be another interesting update;)
In the meantime, a new scene that will be waiting for you in the "Revolution"

Yesterday an update was introduced with the new mechanics - "Grants for small business".
In it, you can invest in the region so that there will be much more property available for purchase. Now you can become a pioneer of your country and make it much richer.
Also, such an update will help a lot at the later stage of the game (we are preparing to change game into 300 moves :). Now, when you are playing at a later stage, you will have no problems finding a country for investments - because you can give out grants for small businesses first and then buy up the businesses that have appeared.
The amount of your investment in the grants of each region is determined by your managers from the Investment Department (their total parameter "I"). Yes, now this parameter matters)

Thank you for supporting us!) Today there will be another update, and on Friday we will try to have time to introduce "Revolutions"!)

I wanted to summarize the results of the second vote, but on the basis of the results of the second and third voting immediately)
The fact is that two points scored exactly the same number of votes
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33825583/6387207efba72bb716992939b2d3647e34b1e71f.png [/]
This is how - 36% each voted for the third and the fourth option. We have only one thing to do - both updates!)
We promised that the players themselves will choose three large updates for the game before the release - and in fact you have chosen them.
The first update you selected (Revolutions) is likely to launch by the end of the week. And let's proceed to the second and third update of your choice (Guard and adding difficulty modes, records, the ability to play longer).
Thank you for your great support.
I hope we fully justify your confidence in us. Hamsters Gaming always fulfills what it promises)
In gratitude, we also decided to make more updates than planned. So, before the release, in addition to the specified updates, we will add a number of very interesting ones.
What exactly? Now you have to wait a bit and see for yourself;)

Update some things you requested.
- Added: Now you have the opportunity to name your bank. You asked about it - we did it ;)
- Added: Ability to sell property in non-open countries for 50% of real value. On some lets plays, players can't understand why they get property from investing in a war, but they can't do anything with this property. Now you can sell such property, but at a very low price. In the end, if you do not have a branch in the country, then you will have to charge some realtors with the sale. Do you know what commissions were in the 16th century?)
- Improved: Global map display. Now the flickering of the card is much nicer, as are a number of other elements.
- Fixed: Bug with non-aggression of some countries in some situations. In fact, we corrected two errors (we added neighbors to the remaining island countries, and also decided a bug with the sometimes lack of neighbors of ordinary countries).
- Fixed: Earlier there were situations in which the IMF did not have time to sell 100% of its shares for 200 moves. Now IMF will sell large shares at a time
- Fixed: Corrected icons of war on the global map. Previously, sometimes there was a situation when the icon opened from the line and was shown in the capital, and not at the place of the war. Because of this, it sometimes seemed that there was no war, and then the region was captured instantly. Now this situation will not happen.

A big update is waiting for you tomorrow - so get ready) The game is essentially transformed!)
And thank you for your support! As you see we try our best ;)

Today we wanted to talk about one of the updates that we are preparing.
The "Investments" department will receive an additional function. Your employees will be able to issue grants for the development of the country.
With the issuance of such a grant, some regions of the country will receive a significant increase in the property available to purchase, in addition, the figures for Agriculture, Roskoshi and others will also increase in different regions of this country. And the growth of these indicators will increase the profit of your property of this type and their price.
This is an important tool in the later stages of the game and will help strengthen the country that is important to you.
