Maps? Maps! MAPS! (Epic Custom Maps Announcement)
News index

Hey everyone, we've got some fantastic news for you!

Remember how you players always asked for custom maps and we always said "never; not possible!". Well, we changed our minds and decided to implement custom maps, whatever it takes. And a lot of time it will certainly take, so please don't ask for estimations - just trust us, we're working hard on it right now.

We cannot give you a lot of details, but there will definitely be an editor where you can upload your own map image and then draw country borders. You will be able to add all country and city data, and add your own units, fully customized. Scenarios will remain similar to what they are now, but will be able to be based on custom maps as well.

As you can imagine, this will infuse a lot of interesting opportunities into the game - you will be able to add a map/scenario based on Game Of Thrones, Lord Of The Rings, WWI/WW2, American Civil War or even a space-based map (why not?).

Because we're now fully concentrated on this massive undertaking (which feels very much like creating a new game from scratch), there won't be any big updates for a while. But then - BAM! - a huge one! So, be patient

Cheers!
Ivan & Amok

THIS IS GOING TO BE FANTASTICT! Just please, DON'T MAKE IT PRENIUM! Making it prenium would make it so that only the best can make it. That would be unfair. Other wise GREAT JOB!

I think that it should be premium. Making it premium would deter possible spammers and such from making inappropriate scenarios.

But it would also severely limit the creative minds that can't pay

Yes, but once we pay money for a game we start to care for our account and generally not want to get banned. And I don't really see why someone would make an AW account, buy premium, make an inappropriate scenario, then get banned 1 day later.

Hey Devs I was wondering if there would be an option to disable certain units after a certain turn. This could give certain teams weak units at the start then powerful units later. This would work really well in my zombie scenario as it would make it so after the scientists discover a cure they will get a new vaccine unit that has extra attack and defense against zombies
