Dev Update

SECOND STRIKE launched a few days ago. This is the first big update, and it changes most of the first hour.

The leaders remember you
The 20 AI leaders now remember what you did to them in earlier wars. Break a pact, nuke one, or keep your word to the
end, and next war they bring it up and talk to you differently. You can answer them by voice.

Three new ways to play
- BLITZ: a five-minute war on your own region against 8 nations.
- CUSTOM WAR: a free sandbox. Play as any country, on the world or one region, against 1 to 200 AI nations, with
infinite gold, nukes from the first second and up to 4x speed.
- MAYHEM: no doomsday clock, cheap nukes, silos open in 30 seconds.

Being wiped out is not the end
If you are wiped out, you join THE FALLEN. The dead vote on orders for one AI nation they command together.

Something to play for
- A public Commanders board that includes guests, with your rank at the top of the page.
- Your country scores every time you finish a war.
- A REWARDS page, and 11 free cosmetics unlocked by levelling up.

Every war becomes a video
The end screen replays the whole war as a timelapse on a flat world map, and you can save it. On a computer, one
button saves the last half minute of the globe.

Also new
- You start in your own country, on a globe lit by the real day and night.
- A first nuclear strike between two AI nations in the first minute of every war.
- THE BIG WAR twice a day (01:00 and 19:00 UTC), when everyone online joins the same war.
- A limit of 3 pacts, and you can send troops to a partner.
- Streamers: your Twitch chat can command a country with !attack, !nuke, !ally and !surge.

It is still free, still in the browser, with no sign-up needed. If something breaks or feels wrong in your first few
minutes, tell me in the comments. That is the part I am working on hardest.
