In case you missed it - Our Last Update

Hi everyone!

Since we focused heavily on Kaiserpunk’s Birthday and our journey since launch, some of you might have missed the free update that came out alongside the celebration, so we wanted to highlight some of the content in it a bit more now.

New Monuments

Monuments are a new building type that can be unlocked as a result of different victories and sacrifices that help shape your empire. Inspired by real historical structures from around the world, these buildings serve as impressive centerpieces for your cities, perfect additions around parks and state buildings, while also providing thematic bonuses tied to the events that unlocked them.

Arc De Triomphe

The Long March Memorial

Monument of Revenge

New Landmarks

Landmarks, iconic buildings and wonders you’ll recognize from nations around the globe. These are also unlocked through events and milestones, but are primarily designed to let you recreate real-world locations or craft your own alternate history. As they tend to be very visually prominent, we didn’t want players to feel they have to build them to acquire a desired boon so in the end we decided to keep them purely cosmetic. We hope to add more of these in the future and further represent different cultures from around the world.

Photo Mode

You can now enter a new Photo Mode that allows you to take some more cinematic and lifelike photos of your interbellum cities. You have some options to take black and white photos or even panorama screenshots. We’ll likely add some more features to this mode down the line, so please let us know if there’s something you’d like to see in the future.

Fireworks

You’re now able to also trigger celebrations across your city via the Town Center. Something that works really well with the new photomode if you want to show off your prosperous city in all its glory.

New Infopanels Format

Last but not least, we also updated how the building and information panels in the game’s UI work. They’re now formatted as accordions, giving you access to more information within a single tab. This is just the first step in a series of upcoming UI changes, and the panels will continue to evolve to make all information more readily and easier to overview. 

Next week we’ll have a new update on Warfare with our next dev diary entry. Things have been progressing a lot there so we’re excited to share more news with you. 

In the meantime: We wish you a wonderful weekend!
