I'm pleased to announce a new strategy called "Counter-Insurgency" is now available for a limited time!

Counter-Insurgency turns air support units (i.e. sentries) into, essentially, predator drones. The strategy also gives you extra protection against Insurrection. Here's a breakdown of exactly what Counter-Insurgency gives you:

All units get:
+2 defense against militia, marines, submarines, stealth planes, sentries
-1 defense against tanks, destroyers, bombers, infantry
+1 view range

Sentry Planes get:
+4 attack (making a total attack of 5)
+5 critical chance
+20 view range
-230 cost

Infantry gets:
-10 cost

Militia gets:
-1 range

Marines, Submarines, Stealth get:
-1 attack
+20 cost
-1 defense when attacked by sentries

There have been a few incidents lately related to players sharing their accounts with others. In some cases, this has included sharing with banned players as a way to let them play the game.

As per the game rules, if you share your account, you will be held responsible for any actions that occur through your account.

Qu0t3:

4.2 Member accounts are non-transferable. Registered users are responsible for any actions that take place on their accounts or private messaging systems.

Additionally, if you share your account with a banned player, you will be banned too.

Bottom line, don't share your account. If your "friend" does something and gets your account banned, we will not undo it, and we will not refund any premium days you lose as a result. It's not worth the risk.

Our new payment integration with Stripe is now available! You can now purchase Premium and/or ProtoCoins using all major credit/debit cards (in addition to our PayPal option, which remains unchanged).

This will be our replacement instead of Xsolla, which unfortunately I have given up on trying to implement. If you're interested why, read on:

About a month ago you may have noticed I removed our Xsolla payment option. This was due to atWar's change of ownership. In order to transfer the Xsolla account from the old company to the new one, we were required to create a new account. I didn't think this would be a big deal, so I started working on this.

First they required me to do some initial integration work, which I did. Then they required me to sign a bunch of paperwork, which I did. Then, after a week or so, they contacted me with some questions, which I answered. So far so good. But then they went silent on me. My last contact with them was 2-3 weeks ago... no phone calls, they don't answer my emails, nothing.

The Official Discord Server, separated from our various community run Discord servers, will be the upfront secondary mean of communication. Various discussions about upcoming atWar Events, pesky little map bugs, valuable assistance and mentorship on basic game play + mapmaking, etc will be happening on that Discord Server.

The aW Official Discord Server Will

● Serve as a social platform for our players
● Have web-hook integration for our Facebook + Twitter + Reddit pages.
● Be a hub for our translators to continue their work, with the various untranslated languages.
● Provide a secondary if not direction communication with our Moderator & Supporter Team.
● Be a focus point for our Social Media Partners, giving them valuable access to input on the various videos, memes, etc they might create.
● Be pivot for our invaluable mapmakers to bounce ideas off each other and the community

I'm pleased to announce a new strategy called "Insurrection" is now available for a limited time!

Insurrection is based on an idea from Apocalypse (thank you sir!). This strategy gives powerful Militia (Ground Secondary Defense) units at the cost of more expensive transportation, -2 attack for all other units. I think it will make an interesting new way of playing low income areas of the map, that otherwise might be overlooked.

Insurrection will be available for 1 month, until March 6, 2019. So give it a try!

By the way, we're going to start introducing new strategies, upgrades, and units (including perhaps buildings) on a rotating basis. The goal is something new to try each month. Already I have heard so many good ideas from the community, but I don't want to add too much all at once. So we'll do this rotating system so we can try something different each month. Who knows, if something is really popular we might even add it permanently.

Based on a lot of feedback from the community, and discussions in the forums (mainly here, but other posts also), we've decided to implement two strategy changes. Here are the details:

Change #1: Lucky Bastard (LB) nerf

• +10 Cost for ALL units, including Infantry & Militia

Change #2: Desert Storm (DS) nerf

• Removed +1 capacity for Helicopters

These changes are not necessarily permanent... try them out for the next month or so, and let us know what you think!

Cheers!

Head's up! For the holidays we've added a special rare unit - Santa Claus himself! You can find him on the main World Map.

BONUS: find the Santa Claus unit, get 300 protocoins! How you ask? Here's what you need to do:

1) Find the Santa Claus unit (you must own it, not belonging to another player)
2) Take a screenshot
3) Post the screenshot and game link here on this thread
4) Protocoins will be added to your account! (Limit 1 time per player.)

NO FARMING. You must post the game link so I can verify.

Merry Christmas!

It is my pleasure to welcome Sascha to the moderator team! Sascha is a long time player and supporter, and will be a great addition to the team.

Also, I am pleased to welcome back Columna Durruti as a moderator once again. Columna had some real life responsibilities to take care of for a while, but is now back.
