Hello, Ingevar is here with news about Career Profile, if you're just looking for patch notes, scroll down to find them at the bottom, but let's get into things!

More stats and Awards

We were happy to see that a lot of players welcomed new awards and got gold medals including the trickiest ones, so we felt we should expand the list of medals and ribbons a bit. Previously we focused on warfare mostly, but this time we added some that cover economy, production and recruitment aspects of the game. My personal favorite is the new ribbon "Orchestra of Boom": first of all the name! But then also it will require you to design and deploy a division with anti-tank, anti-air, artillery and rocket artillery with a support signal company. Not that hard to do, but very fun to use this division in battle!

Some of the New Medals will deliver a serious challenge even for more experienced players, like "Quality Over Quantity" , which requires you to have several times less casualties than the enemy after inflicting at least 1 million casualties.
We are also adding more statistics to your Career Profile, which can tell a bit more about each player's playstyle.

Awards Display

You can display your awards now! Be a proud general with a couple of the best medals, or go full Brezhnev-mode showcasing every bit you have! We also plan to add more medal shapes and icons so that it's easier to tell on medal apart from another.

Stats in Multiplayer

We will also collect Statistics in Multiplayer now! Awards are still Single Player only, but now you'll be able to see how the player is coping against other humans.

Backgrounds

We wanted to add a bit more customization to your Career Profile, so now you will unlock backgrounds for career points that you earn with Awards. The combination of your nickname, profile picture and the background will form the Badge, which will be visible to other players.

The Badge in Multiplayer Lobby and Chat

One of the Biggest changes we bring is the possibility to view the Career Profiles of other players in the Multiplayer Lobby and chat. Just click on their badge and see their stats and awards! If you don't want to share this valuable intel with others you can always set the visibility of your own profile to "Friends Only" or "Private".

Stats Comparison

When Viewing profiles of other Players you will be able to compare numbers to your own directly.
We are very excited to hear your thoughts and see more gold in your Career Profiles Stay tuned and see you later!
