We are, as mentioned in the forums, working on a new map for Supremacy 1914 that will replace the current map as the default scenario. Many of you have asked for screenshots, and we don't want to let you wait any longer, as the geographical and political aspects of the map are finished now.

Dear users,

as you may have noticed, we tried to do a major update of most parts of the system, including the homepage, the gameserver and the client around midnight (CET) last night. It was the biggest update we have tried so far. Sadly it didn't work like we had hoped to. As a result we had to revert the update and get the pre-update backup running again. What does this mean to you? 

Today we are announcing a server downtime for the beginning of the next week. Probably on Monday evening (CET), the server will be unavailable for roughly one hour. During that time we will get some security updates for the site running and will set up our brand new login system. 

The new login system will get rid of the annoying passwords you have to remember to log in to your games. From next week on, you will only have to log in to your site account, go to your My Games area and simply: start the game.

This nice new splash screen (that I've put here already as a teaser) will show up during the connection, authentication, and initialization phase of the client and replaces the old login window. Of course, people will still be able to play without an account on this site. They will, however, still need a password. In fact they will get new login links and passwords once the new login system has been set up.

The second change that is already online can be seen in the ranking section of this site. We have significantly increased the amount of points you get for destroying special units since it is indeed much harder to destroy them then to destroy infantry. The amount of points you will get for defeating enemy tanks, battleships and the like are now a 10 times multiple of the days needed to construct them. In detail, the following points are awarded:

• Infantry: 1 point per unit
• Artillery: 20 points per unit
• Tanks: 30 points per unit
• Railguns: 60 points per unit
• Battleships: 60 points per unit
  

All points have been awarded retrospectively and we have furthermore enabled public read access for the profile pages to allow unregistered users to see why you are on top of that ranking list.

That is all for today, more to come next week.
Have fun playing and Happy New Year,
your Supremacy 1914 Admin Team.

The new year is closing in and we just released a new update that highly improves the usability of long-range firework units. These will now automatically shell enemy armies which come into range. By this we overcome many of the drawbacks of artillery units that have been discussed in the forum lately.

We whish all of you a wonderful Christmas. We also want to say thank you as you are doing an incredible job in reporting bugs, making suggestions and by this improving Supremacy each day.

Hope to see you next year on the page or in the game!
