Greetings Commanders!

Firstly, we've got some fixes to stop the laggy games you've been seeing the last few days. On top of that, there's some fixes and important additions:

Server Fixes
After our last patch, we started seeing some heavily lagged games. It turns out it was CPU related on the servers, we've put some fixes in for that. Let us know if you see any stuttering games after this patch.

Range Indicators
Your units will now show a rough indicator of their range when selected in battle. You can also select the enemy units to see their range.

Nation Level Achievements
You'll get an achievement for each Nation level you reach, which will come with 10 gold. This will retroactivate if you've already reached those levels.

Known Issues[/b]

We put up a patch yesterday that resolves a lot of the server issues. Not 100% there yet, but it's getting there.

Thanks to you all for participating in the closed beta. It's been a huge help for us to see the game running on live servers with real players from all over the world.

PLEASE fill out this survey. It'll help us get a feel for how you guys feel about the game. We can tell a lot from our stats and analytics, but it's hard to gauge opinions.

This is the final push for the closed beta.

Closed Beta Servers will be shutdown at 00:01 UTC - 20th of December.

We are aiming to be back in Early 2017 with the game in Early Access. We've got a lot of work to do to get the game ready for the general public, including some important stuff like a tutorial. We'll also have more maps and fixes by that stage.

Thanks for your help so far, we look forward to working with you all in Early Access to make Warfare Online the best it can be!
