​HOI IV | Patch 1.19.3     ​

Generals!With the weather becoming more gloomy and the summer on its way out, we bring the last “Summer” release. This will be the last patch that specifically targets Thunder at our Gates and brings a few additional pieces of content for the countries that were introduced with it.This patch also comes with a solid number of balance changes that were introduced from the Open Beta Summer Edition™ that we thought would be good to roll out sooner. The main reasoning for this was that there had been quite a few issues around balance that we did not address before the summer break and we did not want to push them further ahead longer than was necessary.I also want to say a big ‘Thank you’ for all the feedback we have received around the topics that we touch upon in this patch, as well as all of you who playtested the Open Beta. It is very valuable to have a wider range of testing so we can make the right adjustments.As always, stay safe; and happy gaming!/BatyaPatch NotesBalance Add a tracking of total participation in a combat to award HQ capture to the most participating country.
