The next Hero to join your ranks in the upcoming Heroes update is a non-historical figure whose name strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies - Orhan "Kangal" Demir. Based on feedback we received from the community about the first Hero we announced, Viscount Allenby, we thought this armored car specialist would be the perfect defensive counter to Allenby’s attacking prowess. As we move closer to the release, we’re excited to introduce you to this formidable warrior whose cunning and resilience will bring new defensive strategies to your battlefield.

Who Is Orhan “Kangal” Demir?
Orhan "Kangal" Demir was a rebellious young man from a remote village who, by his teens, gained a reputation for defying authority and outrunning trouble. During a visit to Adrianople, he learned to drive, a skill that would later prove crucial. As World War I reached his homeland, “Kangal”, forgotten by authorities and unregistered for military service, chose to stay and protect his family. Forming a group with those unable to enlist, he led night raids against enemy scouts, utilizing his skills to steal a French-made armored car, which he turned into a formidable weapon. His unit, eventually growing in strength, became notorious for their mobility and surprise attacks, turning villages into strongholds and instilling fear in the enemy, who learned that nothing was undefended in “Kangal’s” territory.



Orhan “Kangal” Demir’s Skills: Armored Defense Specialist
When “Kangal” joins your army, he brings with him a set of skills designed to bolster your defenses and ensure your armored cars can withstand any assault. “Kangal” starts with a 10% defense bonus to armored cars when first unlocked, and after you’ve levelled him up to the 5th tier, he deploys with the following skills:

• Iron Wall Defense: Provides a 20% defense bonus to all armored cars in his army. This ability transforms your armored vehicles into nearly impenetrable bastions, allowing them to hold the line against even the most formidable enemies.
• Armored Vanguard: Enters the battlefield accompanied by two armored cars, ready to lead your forces with unmatched mobility and strength. These units, enhanced by “Kangal’s” tactical prowess, become key players in executing surprise attacks and reinforcing your defensive positions.

Get Ready for the Heroes Update!
The arrival of Orhan "Kangal" Demir is just one part of the exciting Heroes update coming soon. As you prepare to rally your forces, remember that Heroes like “Kangal” will play a pivotal role in your strategy, offering unique advantages that could turn the tide of battle in your favour. Keep an eye on our official channels, including the forum and our Discord server, for all the latest updates.

We're thrilled to share more about the various mechanics of the upcoming Heroes feature that will redefine your strategic gameplay. Following our previous updates on unlocking, deploying and upgrading Heroes, let's delve deeper into how these legendary units will operate on the battlefield.

Key Mechanics of Heroes

• Stacking Limitations: To maintain balance and tactical diversity, only one Hero can be in a single army. This encourages thoughtful deployment and enhances the strategic complexity of your forces.
• Mobilisation Times: Each Hero will have distinct mobilisation times based on balancing requirements. This means that the time it takes for a Hero to become battle-ready will vary, adding a new layer of planning to your campaigns.
• Map Limit: In our initial release, you'll be able to deploy any number of the available Heroes that you have unlocked on a single map. We intend to add a limit to the number of Heroes deployable in one map at a later point, after release, as we continue to add more Heroes.
• Days of Availability: Heroes will be available to deploy on different days, so coordinating their placement with your broader strategy will be key to gaining the upper hand.
• Resurrection Cooldown: Although Heroes are powerful units, they are not invincible. If a Hero is lost in battle, we intend that they won’t be immediately available for redeployment. We’re planning to introduce a resurrection cooldown, which will require you to adapt and rethink your tactics. This feature may not be ready for the initial launch, but if not, it's a top priority for subsequent updates.

Looking Ahead
As we continue to refine and perfect the Heroes feature, we look forward to sharing more with you about these exciting new units. Keep an eye out on the forum and in our Official Discord to share your thoughts and learn more about upcoming updates. We’re excited to see how Heroes will transform your strategies and shape the battles to come. Get ready to harness their unique powers and lead your nation to glory!

Best of luck General,

The world of Supremacy 1914 is soon to witness a game-changing addition that will redefine your strategies on the battlefield: Heroes. As the excitement builds for their arrival, we are thrilled to share some details about how you can upgrade these extraordinary figures and maximise their potential to lead your armies to victory.

What Are Heroes?

Heroes are special units who bring unique skills and abilities to your army, offering new strategic options and advantages. Each Hero has distinct characteristics that can turn the tide of war in your favour, making them invaluable assets in your campaign for supremacy.

Upgrading Heroes: Unlock New Powers

Upgrading your Heroes is the key to unleashing their full potential. Here's how it works:

• Collect Hero Shards: Each Hero requires a specific number of shards for an upgrade. For now, shards can be earned through operations and shop purchases. We plan on introducing more ways to earn them later on, for example through rewarded ads and as a reward for winning games. Keep an eye out for opportunities to gather these crucial resources!
• Access the Hero Panel: Once you've collected enough shards, head to the Hero panel on the main page. Here, you can manage your Heroes and track their progress.
• Upgrade to the Next Tier: Use your shards to upgrade your Hero to the next tier. Each upgrade unlocks powerful new skills or abilities or buffs existing ones, giving you a significant edge over your opponents.

The introduction of Heroes is just around the corner, be ready to collect shards to upgrade them as soon as they're available. Heroes will be a pivotal part of your army, using their exceptional skills and abilities to turn the battle in your favour. Stay tuned here, in the forum, and in our Official Discord server for more updates as we get closer to the release of this exciting new feature!

Attention, Generals!

Have you conquered the nations of the world many times over? Are you growing accustomed to success on familiar battlefields? Then brace yourself for a new challenge. We're excited to announce Supremacy 1914's newest Event Map for this coming weekend - "Crossroads of History"!

After the treaty of Brest-Litovsk is signed between the Axis powers and the newly formed Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia, the borders in eastern Europe are redrawn. Strongly resembling the realistic borders of the treaty, you'll be able to take control of one of 23 playable nations of the year 1918. Quickly conquer any of the remaining neutral nations to secure more vital resources or go on an all-out offensive with one of the standing great powers, the strategic options are manifold for all nations.

Additionally, you'll notice that all player nations have a higher core province count compared to many other maps currently available. That’ll give you more options to expand your industrial might and allow for more options to maneuver in friendly and hostile lands.

Will the tides of war also shift in favor of the Central Powers in the West, or can the Allies hold fast? Will the eastern nations accept the harsh consequences of the treaty, or will they rise up once more? The year is 1918 and history is yours to write at the "Crossroads of History"!

Our team is working hard on bringing our vision for the previously announced Heroes to life. The Beta version of our first Hero - Viscount Allenby - is still available for our Frontline Pioneers to play and try out this great new feature. While we are super excited to share more about what’s coming with all of you, for now we’d like to refresh everyone on Heroes and what they are!

What Happened to Generals?

You’re probably wondering where the new term “Heroes” came from. We found that “Generals” was too specific and restricted us to a certain kind of image. The term Heroes makes us feel much more comfortable in terms of design freedom. It offers a broader range to add exciting and unique units to the game, that would otherwise not fit the narrow alley of only the highest ranking officers. Heroes is a working title and we’re not quite fixed on this new name, so please bear with us as we figure this out, as this might change again. Of course, if you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them!

What are Heroes?

Heroes are enhanced units who have special skills that can buff the army, or specific units in the army that they’re stacked with. For example, our first Hero, Viscount Allenby, is a cavalry Hero whose current skills offer boosts to all of the units, and also specifically the cavalry in his army:

• Increased Movement Speed: Gives a speed buff to all units in the stack.
• Cavalry Bodyguard: Starts with cavalry units to bolster your initial setup.
• Enhanced Attack Damage of Cavalry Units: Increases the attacking strength of Cavalry in the stack.

The Future of Heroes:

Viscount Allenby is just the beginning of this new adventure. Our dedicated team is working diligently to bring a diverse set of Heroes to life, enabling you to pick, choose and enhance different strategies, depending on your personal playstyle. There will be different Heroes for different unit types, which you can unlock and upgrade as you progress through the game.

• Persistent Units: Heroes will be tied to your account and can be used across different maps. Once you unlock them, they can be deployed in several maps at the same time. As with almost all aspects of Heroes, this might change as we further work on enhancing them.
• Upgradeable Heroes: The current version of Allenby on beta starts on the highest tier, but our intention is that once you’ve unlocked a Hero they start at tier 1 and you will need to upgrade them to progress them to the next tiers and unlock their various skills.
• Deployment Cooldown: Losing a Hero in battle is not the end for them. Your Hero will still be in your account and can be used again. After a cooldown period your Heroes will be ready to rejoin the fight!

We’d like to give a big thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback with us about the Heroes so far. We’re really enjoying hearing your wonderful suggestions and opinions, and you’ve given us some very helpful insights into how we can deliver the best version of Heroes possible. We really can’t wait to share more with you about them. Stay tuned for regular updates about these incredible new units here, on the forum, and in our Official Discord.
