Patch notes

The first public version of Nations Reborn: a real-time strategy game from the Ancient Age to the Information Age, for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux.

New

• 32 nations, each with a national power and unique units in their own historical dress.
• Eight ages: Ancient, Classical, Medieval, Gunpowder, Enlightenment, Industrial, Modern and Information. Gather food, timber, metal, oil, wealth and knowledge, grow cities, research, and build wonders.
• Win by conquest, by territory or by wonders.
• Skirmishes against computer players (Easy, Moderate, Hard and Expert) on six kinds of map (Continental, Lakes, Highlands, Mediterranean, World and Archipelago), from Tiny to Gigantic, with up to 24 players.
• Online multiplayer.
• Battles fought as each age fought them:
  • line infantry fires in volleys and charges with the bayonet;
  • cavalry charges, and pikes and shield walls stand against it;
  • machine guns pin troops down;
  • soldiers near a fight join in.
• War at sea:
  • galleys ram;
  • ships of the line turn their side to the enemy and fire their broadsides;
  • battleships range in with salvos;
  • destroyers drop depth charges;
  • submarines fire torpedoes.
• Diplomacy and trade, governments and the Senate, and missiles and nuclear weapons in the late ages.
• Rebellions: unhappy people rise up, hide in camps, break away as new nations and may join a neighbour. Faiths and state religions.
• Single player works without an internet connection. A skirmish saves itself as you play, and Continue on the main menu picks it up again, even after an update.
• The game tells you when a new version is out, and what is in it.
• Graphics settings from Low to Ultra; the game picks one to suit your computer the first time it starts.
• You choose whether to share anonymous usage data. Nothing is shared unless you agree.
