Official patches, updates and announcements from the developer.
Last updated Sep 15, 2026
New Player list and kicking - press Tab (can be changed in settings) in multiplayer to see everyone in the game. The host of a private game can kick players directly. Anyone can start a vote kick, which passes with votes from half the players (at least 2) within 5 minutes.
New Number keys 1 to 6 open and close the build menu tabs - units, buildings, economy, mobilisation, ideology and nations. Pressing the same key again closes the menu. Every build menu hotkey is rebindable in the settings. The cinematic camera controls are rebindable too.
New Country locking - any multiplayer game can lock players to the country they picked, not just official servers. Host option, on by default. Leaving holds your country for a few minutes; losing it for good means a 10 minute wait, with spectating open meanwhile.
New Host migration - if a player-hosted game's host drops, another player takes over hosting and the game keeps running instead of ending. Province transfers - hand your provinces over to another country from the diplomacy menu, picking them off the map.
New New languages - Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese are now fully playable, and the Steam store page is available in Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Chinese (Simplified), French and Turkish.
New Dynamic speed on official servers - official servers now run faster while nothing important is happening, and automatically slow back down once real players go to war. A chat message tells you whenever the speed changes.
