Game Updates

Update: 0.30.11

Monday 19th January 2026 🎉 OpenFront v29 Release Notes 🎉 Hey everyone! We've got a giant update packed with new features, maps, UI improvements and fixes. Here's what's new:

🌟 Main New Features

Main Menu Overhaul - Completely overhauled the Main Menu UI - With small additions by the team
Ranked Matchmaking - Click the purple button on the main page to play 1v1 games with Elo Matchmaking
Pathfinding Overhaul - Boat pathfinding is now significantly faster (up to 500x) and more accurate using Hierarchical Pathfinding
Humans vs. Nations Returns - This team mode got disabled for public games in v27 because it was completely unbalanced. Now it's back, the nation count always matches the human count and defaults to "Hard" difficulty for now
Singleplayer Achievements - You can now get an achievement for every map and every difficulty you beat, saved to your account. Click "Toggle Achievements" in the solo game selection
Public Game Modifiers - Added a system for public game variations. Some games on the main page now show one (or multiple!) random purple tags. Currently available modifiers are: Random Spawn, Compact Map, and 5M Starting Gold. More variety!
End of Game Report - Added a ranking window showing stats for survival, war, and economy accessible through the player game history
Lobby Pause - Lobby creators can now pause private multiplayer games
Lobby PVP Immunity Options - Added a configurable immunity timer where players cannot attack human opponents for a set duration

Embedded URLs - Updated game URLs to support beautiful link previews with rich data on social media platforms like Discord

🗺️ New Maps

Two Lakes - Added a map based on the Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa region
Britannia - Added a detailed map of the UK, Ireland, and northern France. The old Britannia map got renamed to "Britannia (Classic)"
Amazon River - Added a very long 280x5536 map with a central river as the only escape route
Surrounded - Added an island-hopping map with a strategic central island
Strait of Hormuz - Added a strategic map based on the Persian Gulf

Didier - Added a second version of the Didier map without the real France geography
All new maps - except the second Didier map - are now in the public game rotation

Also, the v28 map "Four Islands" made it into public games, bringing some truly crazy, nuke-heavy matches

⚔️ Gameplay Changes

Bomb Direction - Added a hotkey (default 'U') to invert the direction of a bombing run
Nuke Safety - Alliances now destroy incoming nukes between the new allies to prevent betrayals on impact
Nuke Warning - Placing a nuke now shows a red warning circle if the blast will break an alliance

Dynamic Player Counts - Public games player counts are now calculated based on land tiles instead of being hardcoded. The maximum possible public game player count is now at 125 players

🧠 Nation (AI) Improvements

Reduced Cheating - Because nations got smarter, we reduced the "cheating" they do by 50% in v28, now we did that again (Cheating only happens with Hard & Impossible nations)
Smarter Nukes - Improved the nations nuke sending system a lot, they are able to avoid SAMs with 100% precision on higher difficulties, Impossible difficulty nations try to outrange SAMs
Ganging Up - Nations now specifically target AFK players, traitors, and those already under attack - Based on the difficulty
Better Emojis - Nations use emojis for specific events and spam less clowns
Warship Counter - Nations on higher difficulties now aggressively build counter-warships if enemies amass a large fleet
Betrayal Logic - Added better betrayal logic
Alliance Behavior - Nations now check land sizes when considering alliances. Getting alliances should be easier now
Build Order - Nations now build more SAMs in team games and focus less on factories if they have access to the ocean
Less Aggressive - Easy and Medium nations are now less aggressive and easier to ally with in the earlygame
