Here's some (hopefully!) good news for those suffering from issues with connection.
There is now a new connection method available, which should hopefully make things more stable. It is still in a testing stage, but anyone can already enable it by simply typing "/connectiontype ws" in chat (no quotes).
To revert back to default type "/connectiontype sr" and to check the current status type "/connectiontype". For changes to take effect you need to reload the page. Please post you feedback here!
Thanks everyone for helping with testing, it was worth a try, now back to the drawing board!

Happy 2016 everybody, from the entire atWar team!

Last year has been rather uneven for us and mostly occupied with hastily finishing the HTML5 version ahead of the Google-imposed deadline. We've been working on it for over two years (almost as long as the original development!) and it's been massively frustrating to spend so much time redoing things we've already done once. Well, now that it's mostly finished, we're thrilled to move on to new exciting things in 2016. Polishing the game, improving the mobile experience, sneaking into Steam, adding a tournament system, perhaps even game replays and who knows what else! The future looks bright.

Cheers everybody!

Don't know about you people, but we think that it is completely unacceptable that, at the moment, we don't have a Wikipedia article for our awesome game!
Well, there actually is one, in Finnish: (link), which is unfortunately not very detailed, but kudos to whoever made an effort.
For starters, we are looking to create at least an article for the English wiki, with the basic overview of the game, its main features, gameplay, etc. Basically, something similar to this.
Obviously we would welcome other languages as well, so please feel free to contribute in any case. From our side, we promise to provide some generous rewards!

So here's what we've been up to in the past month:

• We've now got a completely new and revamped tutorial, along with videos, detailed descriptions and helpful indicators!
  
• Map/scenario editors early preview is now available. Feel free to poke around, it's all there. Saving is disabled at the moment for the obvious reasons (don't want people ruining their hard work with it in case something goes wrong). Many things are still not working, so please refrain from logging any bugs for now. It's just there to give you a general idea of how things would look like.
  

Some very annoying bugs got fixed too:

• Chat fails to load on non-English versions
  
• Mouse wheel zoom and unit dragging not working for some
  
• Games getting stuck at 'Loading map (6/7)'
  
• Able to attack people after clicking declare war before the turn ends
  
• Disable all diplomacy in FFA games (0 alliances)
  
• People who levelled to rank 5 can no longer enter their ongoing Beginner games.
  
• Not possible to host CWs on custom maps
  
• Colour code chat channel name in chat selector
  

Hi everyone. Please welcome our new marketing manager, Sun Tzu. He will be handling promotional matters, business development, social media, PR - basically everything me and Amok suck at. Please be nice to him.

Feel free to ask him questions in this thread.

We're doing AMA on Reddit tonight here.

EDIT: Sorry about the server downtime. We are under a heavy DDoS attack at the moment, please hold still.

EDIT2: The old server is now up and running too.

Since the switch to HTML5 and even before that, there's been countless of threads criticising anything ranging from graphics and user interface to slowness and bugginess of the new version. So here is your chance to get yourself heard. Remember to be specific and to only post constructive and detailed criticism (with screenshots, when necessary), everything else will be removed. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and it would be fair to say that it is in everyone's interest to make this game better, so let's make it happen!
