Two weeks after the EA start, I am satisfied to see that the game is already quite robust and that the bug reports have not been that many.

Here is what you will find in this first update:

Ok, it is not yet the editor, nor advanced modding tools, but you can now share your save file experiments, and your game's text translations.
That's enough to have a lot of fun for the moment.
The first items await you in the workshop.


*Chessboard world: will cancel all treaties, military presence, and spheres of influence. If you like it, this mode may make it into the multiplayer options.

*Even budget: All players will have the same monthly budget as the USA. Of course, if you play as China in the 1950s, this can be considered obviously as cheating. I added this game mode with the possibility of making it a multiplayer mode in mind.

Of course, if you are not Chinese, you may not care, but many more texts are now in Chinese.
Please report any texts that may still appear in English so I can correct them in the next update.

A small bug made the AI too focused on alignment actions. It has been fixed, and as a result, the AI should now be more challenging.


You asked for it, and you can now:

- Play in windowed mode.
- Change music and SFX volume with a simple slider.
- Know when the scenario will end by hovering over the date.
- The music should loop normally now: let me know if it doesn't.


Well, not enough feedback to improve it yet, but I fixed the issue of "Harsh Winter" having a double effect during the Korean War.


I fixed the issue where the AI kept interacting with Taiwan after the unification.
I also fixed the strange end-game score counting behavior.

Minor issues, mostly typos, have been fixed along the way.

Thank you to all the players who kindly and with great patience reported bugs and issues.

Have a nice day!

I am so proud, after all these years, to finally hit that publish button so you can now play the game on Steam.


Experience better, faster gameplay with multiplayer and JSON file editing, all for the unbeatable price of just $4.99.

Don’t wait—get it now and level up your game!


Many of you requested (often impatiently—"CHINA WHEN?") to play as other countries.
Well... here it is!
I’m releasing the China DLC alongside the core game.
(If your philosophical system of values forbids DLCs during Early Access, simply don't buy it.)


April will focus on balancing and bug fixes (honestly, the game is already quite clean).
Then, once the foundation is solid, expect a public poll to decide what gets added to the game next.
(The list of things to work on is already set; you’ll just be able to define the priority order.)



You can play in English, French and Simplified Chinese.
I can't tell yet what languages will be added for teh final version, but obviously, it would be great to have Russian.

I am so impatient to have your feedback!

Have fun!
