Today's patch adjusts the following 👇 :

OPEN-WORLD BALANCE SYSTEM

• An experimental balance system based on bonuses/penalties has been added to the game
• This balance system has 3 stages, each triggered by a certain difference in the number of online players
• If the player difference is less than 5%, no bonus/penalty is applied

1st Stage

• If the difference in online players is greater than 5%, Stage 1 is applied: the disadvantaged nation gains +15% AP, while the advantaged nation gains the usual amount

2nd Stage

• If the difference in online players is greater than 10%, Stage 2 is applied: the disadvantaged nation gains +30% AP, while the advantaged nation gains the usual amount

3rd Stage

• If the difference in online players is greater than 15%, Stage 3 is applied: the disadvantaged nation gains +45% AP, while the advantaged nation receives –15% less AP than usual

Please keep in mind that more bonuses/penalties will be introduced in upcoming patches. This is only the initial phase. If you have suggestions for additional bonuses/penalties, please post them in the suggestions channel.
