any updates in the last month?
i think they should re work on the peace treaties it just gives you reigions
try it like age of history 2 thou also find a way to new country like maps
I finally got to play it, but something weird happened. I was India, and there was a world war and while I was deciding the treaty, it somehow glitched and switched me to the Great Lakes nation. How did this happen?
Nvm, I realized I accidentally clicked on the "Play as" button, but why is that even a thing?
The "Play as" button exists so it is possible to play as sub nations (Greenland, New Caledonia, California, etc) which do not exist at the start of the game.
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THIS GAME
I couldn't either, but I tried temporarily uninstalling my antivirus, so if you try that it might work for you.
Got it!
ngl they should add peace treaties
they did its just a bit good
Can you add air division, ground division, naval division and armed vehicle divisions?
add peace treties
idk if this possible but can u get this on steam ?
love it
hey, GavGrub i know this is a LOT of work, but can you add different focus trees if not, mod support?
Uh hi, i played it multiple times and it wont save, is it like an bug or what?
Once you hit new save, it should give you a save name option. You have to name the save for the save to work.
you need to click the empty space that would normally be where the name would go and then start typing a name for it
found a bug when you win a war it skips the choices you can make like install government or join faction and instead goes straight to finalize deal when you didnt get to pick any choice
the game says it failed to execute script 'main' due to an exception; element not found. How do I fix it?
How does one escape off a Caribbean island with a single tile that happens to be a city tile? I got a division stuck on one
you cant, but prob gonna be fixed in next upd
build a port there
you cant escape its an island city tile so no ports can be built. make sure to avoid taking those
you can delete cities
i also had this problem but i fixed it with stopping time before saving
Question: How do I win a Civil War? I keep dying because the enemy side has more troops than me. I try my best to get loyalty on my side, but doesn't work out in the end. How do I do it?
Try maxing out your recruitable population and securing defendable parts of your country (islands, mountains, etc). They are difficult, but you can avoid them by keeping your stability high and changing ideologies before changing your government.
hey when the new update gonna come
Thanks for the tip! I'll try this out when I get into a Civil War.
its best to avoid those as much as possible so always keep approval above 50 no matter what. I won a civil war by retaking all my land but i found a bug where im permanently in a civil war even when the other side has 0 land, the music kept playing like when your at war
whens the new update going to come
Can you make Android version please
when is the next update coming out its been two months man
Bruh the game keeps crashing.
Honestly, make civil wars easier to win because it's litterally impossible to win one for me.
please make a mac version if possible
Why does my country always fall into a civil war when I get a new ideology?
You have to go through the Political Focus on the Decision Tree first
can you add a option to decline a treaty?
could you do pre 20th century
question can we make our own maps like world maps?

It has a lot of bugs but its pretty fun. Sometimes the bug is really annoying though
please make a linux version
great game! fun to ply and a bit difficult if you dont know what your doing.
one thing when you declare war but then the ai takes it (only when the ai is not in your faction) it wont bring you to the surrender tab and your permanently at war
how to increase stability with other than reforms?
Improve Policy
Please make a mac version
You can use an app called "Whiskey" to emulate it. It works perfectly for me.
ゲームは素晴らしいです！ありがとう
this game is really fun! although, I would want to give a few suggestions. first, make a system in which you can suggest allies to do something like build a port, build military and etc. Second, Maybe you could add a system to kick allies out. Also, i noticed a bug where if you are already in a map in which you are already in an alliance, you cant expand your faction across borders. Those are my suggestions for now . If you decide to implement this it would be really appreciated!
The game is amazing! There are a few bugs though, notably:
Countries sometimes disappear, turning a weird washed out green colour.
The game sometimes crashes because a country can't spawn, can't join a faction etc.
Other than that, i love this game a lot. I can sometimes play a save for a few days. Wonderful work!
can you play as a ukrain/can you add it?
You can play as ukraine though
Can you handle the game's translations?
I am on a amazon pad fire seven and i want sprits of steel but don't know how and also you should be drew durnils sponser.
Idk how
Totally agree. I learn all the good itch.io games by watching his videos. (this included )
why does my game keep doing this? Is there anyway to fix it?
i have the same problem, did you fix it?
I have the same bug
i fixed it with stopping time before saving
guys i cant move the troops i click right click on them and nothing happenes
You right click on them then you left click the tile you want them to go, if this doesn't work then either your troops are stuck on an island with no port or theyre stuck in a foreign country after some war or smt
lovely game to spend your time on, but there's some things like when you're changing the location to deploy divisions there is no way to see all the cities available (unless i'm missing something that allows you to scroll down)
