WARNO News

[h3]Features[/h3]

• Supply can now be activated partially, for example to resupply only ammo, fuel or repairs.
  
• SAM missiles now have the ability to apply a stress effect on units within a 500m radius of them. This effect is applied based on the proximity and power of the missile used. When a missile gets close enough to an aircraft or helicopter, the affected unit will suffer this stress effect. If the affected unit is controlled by a player, a brief yellow visual effect will appear on the unit's label to indicate the psychological impact of the missile.
  
• Reinforcement Pack #5: 2 new maps are available, Valley and Factory in 3v3 Conquest. Added Destruction mode for the 4 Northag 3v3 maps (Railway, Stoneware, Valley, and Factory). These 4 maps have also been added to the official 10v10 servers.

Hello commanders!

Glorious news. The launch for WARNO - NORTHAG, is getting very very close.

As you might have noticed, getting our latest expansion ready for shipment before the year’s end has proved to be a slightly bigger endeavor than previously thought. And we still need to keep a bit of flexibility in giving you a concrete date.

We have been very busy polishing WARNO’s first expansion with the latest feedback up to the last minute and will get it into your hands shortly! And when it comes, the new Reinforcement Pack #5, free to all owners of WARNO, will launch alongside it!

[h2]The new WARNO - NORTHAG expansion[/h2]
We promised to launch WARNO - NORTHAG before the year’s end, and we will. More precisely, we will release it next week. Which day exactly? Well, about that, we rather not commit ourselves that much, still running tests on the version as we speak and crushing last minute's bugs.



WARNO - NORTHAG is the first major expansion coming to WARNO. World War III hits the North German Plain where the attacking Warsaw Pact needs to overcome the staunch defenses of NATO’s NORTHAG. Under British command, Belgian, Dutch, West German, and American forces battle against the powerful northern formations of the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany, including East German and reinforcing Polish armies.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2978620/WARNO__NORTHAG/

WARNO - NORTHAG will feature:

• 2 new Army General campaigns.
  
• 4 new Operations.
  
• 10 new Divisions, including NATO’s Belgian 16e Pantserdivisie, Dutch 4e Divisie, the British 4th Armoured Division and MultiNational Airborne Division, and the American 9th Infantry (Motorized) Division, while the Warsaw Pact deploys the Soviet 25-ya Tank. Diviziya, the East German 9. Panzerdivision, and the Polish 4 Dywizja Zmechanizowan, 20 Dywizja Pancerna and Grupa Desantowa.
  
• 3 new playable nations: NATO’s Belgium and the Netherlands (as well as Luxemburg embedded with Belgium), and Warsaw Pact’s Poland.
  
• New voice acting.
  
• Over 400 new units or models.

In case you have missed one of the many NORTHAG DevBlogs, make sure to read the dedicated forum post for a handy overview of all WARNO - NORTHAG previews!

NORTHAG ... what to expect?

[h2]Reinforcement Pack #5 Launch at the Same Time[/h2]
Next to WARNO - NORTHAG we’ll also launch the free-to-all-owners Reinforcement Pack #5, bringing two new battlefields to WARNO: Valley and Factory (both in 3vs3 and 10vs10).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3363540/WARNO_RP_5__Valley_and_Factory

We detailed both maps in their own DevBlogs. Read more here about Valley, setting out to challenge players with a combo of rivers, mountains, and a central plain with scattered woods and defensive points. Detailed descriptions of Factory can be checked here.

There is more: we are also releasing some new variants of existing maps including Destruction and 10vs10 versions of the existing Stoneware and Railway.



[h2]Until Next Time[/h2]
Not long now, commanders. We’ll be back very soon!

See you on the battlefield, commander.

Hello, hello!

We hope you are well. We return with a short WARNO DevBlog today. More news to be followed soon, but at least today’s post features lots of eye candy, though!

Go, go, go!

[h2]WARNO - NORTHAG’s Launch is Close[/h2]
We are on the very final stretch before releasing our much-anticipated WARNO - NORTHAG expansion. This means the team is hard at work squashing bugs, polishing, finetuning, adjusting, and tweaking all manners of expansion-related new features, units, and mechanics. We are also collecting all the latest feedback and comments from our testers and implementing these as we speak.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2978620/WARNO__NORTHAG/

We hope to share a launch date for WARNO - NORTHAG with you very soon (Eugen trademark). Of course, keep in mind the caveats, as we want to make absolutely sure we’ll be able to deliver.

Keep tight, commanders, it is not very long now.

Surprise, commanders!

We interrupt our regular DevBlog broadcast with a thunderbolt drop of a brand-new map as part of the Reinforcement Pack #4, available for free now!

Let’s welcome to the stage the (popularly requested) Albion map. You guessed it: this new battlefield is a direct companion piece to the Nemesis #2 - Plateau d’Albion mini-expansion, and free to all owners of WARNO!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3333270/WARNO__Reinforcement_Pack_4__Albion_Map/

[h2]A Companion Piece[/h2]
Here’s the story. After the release of WARNO’s Nemesis #2 - Plateau d'Albion, we received countless requests from the community to make a map inspired by the mini-expansion. Mmh, we thought, not a bad idea. So, rolling up our sleeves, we went to work double-time to deliver an authentic map that pays tribute to this iconic Cold War French nuclear missile silo base (under imminent attack by Soviet VDV forces in WARNO’s 1989). The free map is part of the Reinforcement Pack #4.



To bring this unique battlefield to life, we extensively studied military archives, crafting the new WARNO map using various historical pictures and visuals. We hope that the in-game end result of a recreated Base Aérienne 200 (BA 200) on the Plateau d’Albion in southeastern France does justice to the real-life example.



The Albion Plateau was once home to one of France’s most important nuclear missile launch bases. Built in the 1960s to bolster the country’s land-based nuclear deterrence, the military complex housed a vast network of silos, control buildings, bunkers, and military zones. At the height of the Cold War, this base symbolized France’s military power and nuclear deterrence strategy in a supreme manner.



[h2]Albion in WARNO[/h2]
The new Albion map is a 2v2 battlefield with a host of updated visual assets that really bring out that well-guarded-secretive-military-base touch. First up are the nuclear missile launch zones with silos, control buildings, and ventilation shafts. All are faithfully reproduced to enhance the feel of an authentic military installation.



The surrounding terrain and scenery are inspired by the countryside in southern France. A true homage to the Provençal landscape, we’ve reworked the vegetation to capture the local feel, including lavender fields! Perfect for a “mini-vacation” (before heading to a ferocious World War III battle!).



Albion features a host of fortified military zones with well-placed bunkers and extensive military installations.



[h2]A Strategic Design Overview[/h2]
From a level design perspective, Albion’s main focus was on recreating the nuclear launch zones, the military base (split between command facilities and barracks), as well as the various munitions and weapon depots. To ensure a balanced gameplay experience, we repositioned specific historical elements, such as the launch areas.



We need to give special thanks to Didier “Capcom” Capdevila and the site capcomespace.net, the encyclopedia of space, for their rich archive of text and photos. These were invaluable in our research and made the creation of Albion possible!

Let us know what you think of Albion. We can’t hear to wait for your feedback while battling to avoid (or perhaps hasten) nuclear armageddon!



[h2]New Soundtracks[/h2]
Next to this new map, we are also releasing two sweet new soundtracks for WARNO’s playlist.

The first one is “When Night Comes”, by Oriol Sirinathsingh, will hit that 80s pulsating synthwave just about right.

The second one is “For Honor And Country!”, composed specifically for WARNO by Eugen members Sebastien Alaiwan "Ace17" and Panzer. You can already get a taste for the track here:

[h2]The new WARNO - NORTHAG expansion[/h2]
You might wonder what’s happening with WARNO - NORTHAG, the first major expansion to hit our World War III battle simulator’s shores. Not to worry, its release is imminent, but we just need a bit more time to tweak and adjust the expansion’s host of new units, divisions, Army General campaigns, and Operations.
