Happy Valentines Day Commanders!

Today we've launched stage one of our campaign roadmap (Image pending) of updates to the mod, dropping you a gift of a new 1 v 1 map to play on - from the mod team with love!


“The Powder Keg ” is a FIVE victory point map set in the Balkan region and the Carpathian Basin. Locked between the
two mountain ranges, the Carpathian Basin forms an arena like battleground in this 1v1 map.


- Introduction of new 1v1 map "powder keg"
- Re-added the intelligence icons
- Updated graphics for the map selection menu

Hotfix

- added mechanic to weaken non-equipped infantry

Fixed some minor patch errors that occured on a missed gitmurge :(

Commanders!

The road to The HOI4 World Championships is tracked ahead; we're officially on our "Warfooting" (get it, I name dropped the patch name). As a reminder the first Qualifier for the World Championships starts this Sunday, culminating in the first Qualifier Showdown on Feb 4th. Onto more mod related news however, we will soon have a roadmap for you, with a full timeline of what kind of content to expect from the continued development of the mod - without hinting the first release too much; Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Let's even the playing field, will Valentines Day do?

Anyway, Below you'll find the balance change notes. Outside of balance, we've been doing a bit of UI work this period - let us know your thoughts!
