atWar Community Survey

I've taken some questions and opinions from the community and put them all into a survey format. I've also put other things that will help the staff.

● Please be honest in your answers, no trolling. If you can't/don't want to answer something please state "N/A".

● This survey is seven sections long. Be prepared to spend at least 30 minutes on it if not longer.

● You will receive questions based on your answer for what community you consider yourself in. The Competitive community shouldn't have say in Scenario and vice versa (do note this does not mean all competitive or scenario questions are answered by just that community).

Hi everyone, here are a few new things I'm happy to share with you:

UI updates
Next time you start a new game, you'll see an updated interface, designed to highlight more maps than just the World Map. New users often aren't aware the variety of maps we have to offer, and the old process of going to the "Maps" section to start a game other than world map was too clunky. I hope the new design will get new players introduced to our maps right off the bat.

Promo maps
As you know, for a few protocoins you can Promote any map so it appears at the top of the map listing. Now, in addition to this, any Promo maps can be played free by non-premium players for the duration of the promotion!

Thanks to Kings And Generals for mentioning us in their latest video... check it out!



Also I want to say thank you to Crow for making this possible... as a supporter he worked hard making contact with potential partners including Kings And Generals (and others), and I'm grateful we were able to achieve this. Credit where credit is due... thank you sir!

Last year I gave you a friendly reminder about sharing accounts. Some of you didn't listen.

This year I'll make it very simple: if you share your account with a banned player, whether intentionally or not, your account will be permanently banned. End of story.

If you want to avoid this fate, just don't share your account with anyone.

As of today...

Double SP Weekend is active through Sunday! (January 26 at 11:59 PM US Central time).

On top of this, x3 SP is also on sale for 75 Proto Coins!

Dont miss out, get out there and get some SP!



- Dave and team

It's been suggested I should do an AMA, like Amok & Ivan used to do. I thought "sure, why not", so here we are!

As the title says, feel free to ask anything, including (or especially) non-game related stuff.

Ready.... go!

I'm pleased to announce on behalf of the AtWar Implementer team the introduction of three new Presets to the Default Map: Central Asia, Indian, and Atlantic!

I first announced these presets way back in Spring of 2019, and I'm happy to say they've been implemented now. Each of these presets offers a unique experience that builds on previously accepted community guidelines of map balance and playability.

Central Asia was built with 1v1s, 2v2s, 3v3s, and FFA in mind. In my playtests, it functions very well at being a quick game for 3v3s much like the Mediterranean preset, most games lasting less than ten turns, with picks such as Iran, Pakistan, Russia: Volga, China: Northwest, and more. It's definitely more constricted in some places than Europe is, and this really does offer an entertaining experience in places such as the Caucasus. Of course the concept of having a few countries provide bountiful wealth akin to Benelux in EU/EU+ is still present here, as well as the dialing back countries like Iran to ensure an even playing field.

I'm pleased to announce Nedris is joining the mod team. Welcome aboard!

With the addition of our newest moderators, I think we're in a good position now to handle any future influxes of users as may occur. (Assuming we are fortunate enough to gain some traction with our various marketing efforts...)

I'm happy to announce the appointment of 2 new moderators, Kaska and E.J.R.

Kaska has been very helpful behind-the-scenes, always giving me excellent advice, and not being afraid to speak his mind.

E.J.R has contributed a lot as a supporter, and in fact will now being doing double duty, as both moderator and leading map editor efforts on the supporters team.

Thank you both for your ongoing contributions to atWar, and welcome to the mod team!

I'm pleased to announce on behalf of the AtWar Implementer Team that Blitzkrieg has received 2020's first buff!

For quite a long time now Blitzkrieg has remained a beloved and popular Strategy used by many, whether it be in competitive team games, duels, World 50ks, Scenarios, RP- You name it. Much like Imperialist in this regard, Blitzkrieg gives players a blanket buff for all units in the form of mightier range capabilities. However in recent years, Blitzkrieg has become outpaced by many other strategies and lacks the kind of defence capabilities to survive later on in most games. Much thought, discussion, and time was put into remedying this issue and planning ahead to ensure Blitzkrieg remains a staple to most, but catches up with the competition. To do so, we've increased the Range buff from +3 Range to +4 Range.
