Greetings, strategists! [b]We’re excited to roll out what may be the last update to the demo before the full release of the game. [/b]This update introduces cutting-edge mechanics, game-changing features, and more depth to your grand strategy experience. [i]The demo remains limited to 30 minutes of playtime[/i], but here’s what’s new: 🌟 New Additions: Hypersonic Missiles, ICBMs, and Ballistic Defense Hypersonic Missile and ICBM Systems Added: 🔧 Includes 4 exclusive resources: Hypersonic Body (T4), Nuclear Warhead (T4), Hypersonic Missile (T5), and ICBM (T5). 🛠️ Assemble these under the “Special Forces” tab. Just like military units, they will have maintenance costs. 🛡️ Steel Dome Ballistic Defense and Silo Mechanics added—prepare wisely! ⚔️ Launch these powerful weapons (with appropriate research and resources) against enemy nations by pressing N/M when at war. Hypersonic Missiles: Cause Unrest and destroy random investments unless blocked by Steel Dome defenses. ICBMs: Devastate provinces and international relations. Defended strikes wipe out military forces; undefended strikes obliterate investments, population, and resources in surrounding provinces. 💥 Superpower AI now utilizes Hypersonic Missiles during wars for an intense and realistic challenge! 🌀 Dynamic Events and Features Province Special Events: Unpredictable occurrences that will challenge your strategies. Weather Manipulation: Build and activate special buildings to summon Heat, Rain, Snow, or Tornadoes, with the option to intensify effects. Pandemics: Introduced with 3 severity levels (Low, Medium, High) and 9 unique virus types. Each impacts resource demand, Unrest, and mortality rates. Watch as contagion spreads every 45 days, impacting provinces and beyond! New Research Tree Options: Expanded branches for both Social and Military advancements. 🤝 Improved Diplomacy & War Assistance Army Resource Donations: Help allied nations in war by donating Army Resources (tanks, artillery, etc.) via the Close Relations Agreement (unlockable in the Business Province Tab). Donations convert to armies but can’t exceed the recipient’s manpower limit. ⚙️ Balances and Fixes As always, this update includes numerous tweaks and improvements to gameplay balance to ensure a smoother experience. [b]Your journey as a master of strategy is about to get even more intense. Let us know what you think of these updates as we prepare for the full release![/b] 🚩 Best, GrandPaw Games
