News

Hi everyone!

Today we are announcing something that some of you, quite rightly, thought will never ever be released.
It is the Alpha Version of atWar Map Editor!
Available here: https://atwar-game-test.com

Yep, that's right, better late than never, as the saying goes .
This is just the initial public release and over the coming weeks/months we aim to polish it and make it in every possible way better than the current Silverlight Editor. And to achieve this, we are asking for your help. Please go ahead and give it a good test, see if there is anything that is not working, buggy, or just plain wrong and log your findings in the new atWar testing forum. There is also a forum for general testing discussion, where you can leave your feedback and discuss the new editor.

Good news everyone! We've placed a -50% discount on all Premium subscriptions (including Lifetime). How long will this last? We don't know, but there's a hint in the name

Merry Christmas!

More good news, everyone! It's been a while since atWar had any new content, so today we'd like to introduce an idea for a new type of unit - buildings! There are two crucial differences from regular units: they can't move (duh!) and you cannot build more than one of the same kind in one city. Here are the buildings we have for starters:

Recruitment Center: gives the city 3 extra reinforcements per week

Forifications: +1 defence to all city troops (similar to General)

Radar Array: 150 view range, helps to see what your neighbours are doing and catch stealth units

Anti-air Defences: 20 defence against air units

Coastal Battery: 20 defence against naval units (former rare unit)

Bank: -10 upkeep for every unit in the city NEW

The atWar dev team is now 50% larger - and no, not because me and Amok have been eating double portions. Clovis is now working with us to bring about some long-awaited improvements. Priority number one is, as always, to finish the map editor. In fact, we won't be able to release anything else before that, because of the deeply embedded changes in the code. After that, it's on to fixing the known bugs. Things are now definitely moving, slowly but surely - so big cheers for Clovis!

Greetings atWar,
I contacted Ivan today about the possibility of making an official Discord chat for atWar. There were many reasons for this, as I will sum them up for you here:

●There's roles on Discord. On the atWar discord we have the roles: Admin, Moderator, Supporter and Premium. You get your desired role based on your rank in-game
●Instead of holding meetings now on Skype (where not everyone has an account there) we can now hold meetings on Discord, which will be more easy and accessible for everyone
●You can use voice chat on Discord and discuss off topic subjects

I'm aware there are already made atWar Discords, which is fine, it's just to announce that this will be the official Discord server for atWar.

New Updates
Amok and Ivan have fulfilled their promise of being active administrators after a week of chaotic DDoS attacks a month ago. Amok has rolled in a lot of new updates to the game, such as fixing the Silverlight Map Editor, a brand new test server for testing purposes, anyone can test on this server. Three new languages have also been added to atWar: Swedish (Sweden, yes!), Slovak and Farsi. You can also now earn money by inviting people to atWar - you've read that correctly. Ivan has introduced a wonderful referral program, you can earn 25% commission from whatever they spend on the game, or 30% after you get over $100. For more information on these updates, make sure to check the 'News' tab.

Good news, everybody! Our previously closed referral program is now available to all. Use your personal referral link to invite people and earn a 25% commission from whatever they spend in the game, or 30% after you get over $100. As an example, VladRacovita, who runs a popular YouTube channel has already earned hundreds of dollars in commission.

You can withdraw your earnings as ProtoCoins at any time. Or, if you have a PayPal account, you can also request withdrawal in USD (minimum $50).

This will be replacing the previous SP rewards, which we felt were devaluing SP earned during actual gameplay and messing up ranks. The link is the same, so if you're already using it, no need to change anything. The tracking began a couple of weeks ago, so you might already have some earning on your account.

Silverlight editor is working. If it doesn't work for you, then consider the following options:

• If you are using an old installed version, then you need to uninstall it, download the new version from here, and reinstall. It should then work.
  
• Alternatively, you could simply access it from Internet Explorer browser by clicking on the 'Old version' link on the homepage.
  

Swedish and Slovak are 100% complete, Farsi is at 90%, but we've decided to enable it anyway.
Big thanks to everyone who worked on these languages! Remember, if you speak any languages other than English, you can contribute to our ongoing translation efforts here: https://atwar-game.com/locale/ (and perhaps earn some ProtoCoins while you're at it).

Update: now on the new domain!

Hi everybody! In light of opening the client code for contributors, we've decided to also set up a proper test environment. If you want to be the first to see new features and to help us make sure they actually work, welcome to https://atwar-game-test.com!

Test site uses a test service and test database, so everything is completely separated from the live site. You will have to create a new account, as your old account password wouldn't work (privacy concerns!). We'd also advice not to use the same password you're using on the live site.

There are currently two very small updates there, courtesy of Safari and Clovis:
- Saving your preferred color. When entering a game and selecting color, it should be automatically preset the next time you enter the game (if not already taken). The preset gets erased when you close your browser.
- Bug fixed: after merging air units with land units correct range should now be displayed.

You can now use it as before. Sorry for the inconvenience, we encountered a few issues with it after we switched to SSL and added DDoS protection.

We are now introducing zero tolerance approach towards all types of exploits and hacks (and yes, this includes the black colour, so please don't moan about it in comments, it may be added later to the palette). Anyone caught using inspect element, javascript, link hacking, XSS, you name it - will initially be banned for one week. If you get caught for the second time - you WILL be banned for life. No excuses, no exceptions. Thank you very much, please play fair!
