First of all i really love this game but there is one question i have. How can i invite other countrys to my faction or is that only possible with the peace treaty?
For anyone thinking about getting this its really good for a free game. It runs on weaker devices well and is basically a simpler version of age of history 3 or HOI4. in future it would be cool to have more customization in peace treaties and have different types of armies ( e.g tanks, infantry) .
hey! saw this game on youtube and downloaded it, but after i extracted the .zip and everything else, i couldn't find main.exe. please help, maybe i'm just stupid
I extracted it but it still says it and i dont really understand what u mean by extract from zip file and idk what u mean by take main.exe out of the sosand directory
Amazing game, except for the fact that small divisions (usually 5-10) are consistently able to break through my lines of 50 or more divisions even if i have the defense perks
Could be a supply issue? You'll always loose if you don't have enough money to supply your troops regardless of defense perks or how many divisions you have.
This also happens when your allied country is in a civil war an you declare on the enemy side to help them win it, it makes you stuck in a constant state of war with wear music playing, and any other coutry you capitulate in that state is stuck occupied without a peace deal as well
It is incredible what this game transmits with its absolute simplicity, it is obvious that it is an embryo but something brutal can come out of all this and above all, it feels super fresh.
I really liked that game so much. It really must be on Steam so we can use Workshop (ofc in the future :d). Can you add some quality of life improvements? When i RMB to send divisions, sometimes it doesn't just work, i need to zoom in and click to the center of that province. And i dont want to annex a country all, sometimes it annexes without a peace threat (usually on small countries) and i dont want to take all the provinces. And i dont understand how wars between divisions work. Like i cant just fight with a division but im moving on it etc. and why bots automatically spread their divisions? Like i want to understand how all mechanics work deeply :p . Still great work, keep going go brrrrrrr
I just got this game a few minutes ago, but I cannot see any divisions on the screen. Is this a bug, or do I have to do something to view the divisions?
When I defeated a faction in a World War, I invited them to my faction, for example, I defeated a faction where the entire Middle East was, when I invited all the countries to my faction and when i finished my deals, these newly included countries began to fight among themselves
It's quite annoying when playing
I hope there is an update on this (and also when it takes me out of the game due to errors but that doesn't bother me much)
Other than that, it's a great game and I highly recommend it.
also whenever i defeat a faction,and when i invite them to my faction and split up,lets say germany in darkest hour,for some reason they will attack each other,like switzerland joined axis i invited them and germany to faction,and then switzerland attacked germany without declaring war
good game,but countries just ignore manpower and british raj is op,nerf countries with lots of land because its annoying when france or the uk spawns undreds of divisons
Very cool game, easy to understand the controls, there is a bug, such as endless conflict when the uprising was destroyed, but I think it will be fixed in the future. If the developer adds a level difficult and maybe MP it's can be free variant of HoI4
Good game, has a couple bugs, when i invade somewhere like Jamaica that has a city but no port and is only one tile, any units i land there are now stuck and cant go anywhere else. Also when i helped canada put down a rebellion, the conflict never ended and now canada has 40 divisions roaming around it's country trying to find the rebels that are all dead.
Hey, when you call on an ally to attack a certain country and then turn that country into a puppet after winning, that ally will be stuck there. For example, if I call on Mexico to attack Spain and then turn Spain into a puppet, Mexico's division will be stuck in Spain.And if the division has moved somewhere it will not be on its territory to defend the country
could you be a little more clear on the download process? i start up main, then I run the game anyway, but sometthing goes wrong and i get popups that say that the destination file cant be reached pls hel
could you nerf the bots a bit? when i declared war on the allies on the ww2 map, france instantly spawned a few hundred division, and poland spawns around 100. the reason might be because they may have so many tiles in africa. the solution to this might be to add population to the tiles e.g a random tile in the saharan desert will have maybe a few thousand but a european tile will have a few hundred thousand and millions for cities
Bro I can't download this game on MacBook Pro, I get the files, but the instructions aren't helpful and I can't open the game. Could you please tell me how to do this, this would be much appreciated, thank you.
The game only supports windows, it's not working because mac devices can't run executables. You can get around this by running the game on a virtual machine.
thank you very much for the reply. What do you recommend I use as a virtual machine to run the game? What virtual machine do you recommend, and how do I use it? Thanks again.
I use virtualbox for running linux virtual machines, I don't know if that would be good for running a windows virtual machine on a mac system. There's lots of good tutorials on how to do it online.
I say this in good faith, but I saw a YouTube video of the game, and I don't think it is fair that divisions can easily waltz over oceans without any navy mechanics holding them, or separate navy units which can only be built in ports. This is just a friendly suggestion, thanks.
Absolutely love it when my HUNDREDS of divisions with buffs gets bogged down by 2-5 divisions and even get beaten back :/ Dont understand the logistics
There is no deselect in this game for some reason now i have to make sure i pause the game every time i drag left-click around the map
Like alot of ppl said, why isnt there any insta pause and play, so annoying having to spam press the +/- just to pause it quickly
And also why can the AI insta- deploy max troops and we can't?
Whether or not you have hundreds of divisions, you will still loose assuming you don't have enough factories to supply them.
Both suggestions are coming in the next update.
The AI trains troops and then doesn't immediately deploy them until you go to war. The idea behind having them have max army per population at the start of the game is so that you focus on infrastructure in the early game while you wait for your military to build up.

W game, best free one for sure! I AM ADICTED... MORE CONTENT!!!
battle ai sucks they keep on doing everything just to hold the frontline like switching to 1,1,1,1,1 divisions then 4 in like 1 second its stupid
First of all i really love this game but there is one question i have. How can i invite other countrys to my faction or is that only possible with the peace treaty?
i think you can only do that if you border them and you are the faction leader
I keep getting errors like this one especially for German reich. Im playing the Kassiereich map. The error crashes the game.

Happening to me too!
so i watched a youtuber play this game i tried to download it but this always shows up
You have to extract sosandwin from sosandwin.zip
i went to sosandwin.zip extracted then when i went to run main it said extract so i did
YOOO IT WORKED
I extracted the files but when I go to open main.exe it doesn't open, the spinning wheel disappears but nothing opens. What am I doing wrong?
Ok so it opened but only for like 5 seconds then disappeared
I fixed it and got it open now thank you
is there a way to run this? when i extract it, can't find it, and when i run the non extracted one, my computer tells me it a threat and closes it
For anyone thinking about getting this its really good for a free game. It runs on weaker devices well and is basically a simpler version of age of history 3 or HOI4. in future it would be cool to have more customization in peace treaties and have different types of armies ( e.g tanks, infantry) .
Please fix glitch troops cus i won a huge alliance war but now all of my troops are stuck in enmy territoy and I cant ask for military access
hey! saw this game on youtube and downloaded it, but after i extracted the .zip and everything else, i couldn't find main.exe. please help, maybe i'm just stupid
wish there was a mac version, is that something that could happen in the near future
Did you extract the game from the zip file? If not, did you take main.exe out of the sosand directory?
Yeah I already fixed it just had to wxtract but thanks anyway
I extracted it but it still says it and i dont really understand what u mean by extract from zip file and idk what u mean by take main.exe out of the sosand directory

Is there supposed to automatically appear a peace deal or do i need to do something after defeating a country
dang no mac?
When you attack/get attacked by a country in a civil war. once you defeat them you are stuck in a constant state of war without a peace deal
This also happens when your allied country is in a civil war an you declare on the enemy side to help them win it, it makes you stuck in a constant state of war with wear music playing, and any other coutry you capitulate in that state is stuck occupied without a peace deal as well
Cool game! But i have got a question. What is the song when you are in war?
It is incredible what this game transmits with its absolute simplicity, it is obvious that it is an embryo but something brutal can come out of all this and above all, it feels super fresh.

Like i want to understand how all mechanics work deeply :p . Still great work, keep going go brrrrrrr
Is it possible to take individual provinces and states instead of annexing every country that I defeat? If not, then could it be added?
Nerf China and India
how to enable historical AI? Like for WW2. I prefer to play historical accurate strategy games. Is it possible to enable historical AI?
I just got this game a few minutes ago, but I cannot see any divisions on the screen. Is this a bug, or do I have to do something to view the divisions?
did you press 2 on accident?
thx. I figured out that there was an option to view divisions on the bottom right.
Sorry for the bad english
When I defeated a faction in a World War, I invited them to my faction, for example, I defeated a faction where the entire Middle East was, when I invited all the countries to my faction and when i finished my deals, these newly included countries began to fight among themselves

good game,but countries just ignore manpower and british raj is op,nerf countries with lots of land because its annoying when france or the uk spawns undreds of divisons
true, especially china

Also when i helped canada put down a rebellion, the conflict never ended and now canada has 40 divisions roaming around it's country trying to find the rebels that are all dead.
Keep up the good work though!
Please make it a MAC game that would mean a lot to me
Hey, when you call on an ally to attack a certain country and then turn that country into a puppet after winning, that ally will be stuck there. For example, if I call on Mexico to attack Spain and then turn Spain into a puppet, Mexico's division will be stuck in Spain.And if the division has moved somewhere it will not be on its territory to defend the country
One of the best war games I've ever played 🔥
Why can a bot create troops infinitely during a war
I would greatly appreciate a response thanks.
could you be a little more clear on the download process? i start up main, then I run the game anyway, but sometthing goes wrong and i get popups that say that the destination file cant be reached pls hel
You probably did not extract the game folder from the .zip file.
can you make a tut on how to get to play spirits of steel
could you nerf the bots a bit? when i declared war on the allies on the ww2 map, france instantly spawned a few hundred division, and poland spawns around 100. the reason might be because they may have so many tiles in africa. the solution to this might be to add population to the tiles e.g a random tile in the saharan desert will have maybe a few thousand but a european tile will have a few hundred thousand and millions for cities
Amazing game though, 10/10
make a website version because I'm on chrome
