I am lucky enough to be part of a long-standing AoD group and we have recently finished our latest WPO campaign, ending in Axis victory in August 1945 after the Soviets negotiated a bitter peace and Allied holding in Europe and Africa were taken alongside nukes being exchanged.

Head on over to the WPO server in the pinned comments if you're interested. This game really shines when you play online

It will continue to be with AoD v1.12 with Jarski's Mod (likely to receive some updates with even better AIs). Everyone is welcome to join and play a minor country, but please note it is a highly co-operative game and teamwork isn't just desired but essential for success really. This is especially true for anyone considering China (which might be me if no one takes it). Team discussion and communication is highly encouraged.

Please also note the various rules we have - in ⁠all-the-rules , and also divided into various categories if that is easier to navigate. We will likely be rewording and slightly tweaking them for the forthcoming campaign, please let us know if any need clarifying as transparency is our aim.

Please also note it can be quite the commitment to join our campaigns, our last one just finished with Axis victory in August 1945 last week. We started the campaign in late-October 2023.

Hey!

War Plan Orange have just started a new Improved 1936 campaign, we've got 7 players so all the majors are taken, but would be a good way to see how we handle AoD online. Interesting nations like Hungary, India, Romania, Manchukuo, Canada and Australia are available.

If you're interested in this, or starting a new AoD campaign online, you're more then welcome to join our Discord server here - https://discord.gg/WS4YCkV2Xz

Or feel free to message me or comment below if you're not a fan of Discord (although admittedly it is great once you get the hang of it :) )

Our voluntary development team have decided to set up an AoD Discord server to encourage everyone to see our 1.13 update progress, share any ideas you've got on how to further improve this great game, and just to also discuss and share your AoD experiences.

We also plan to stream updates on our progress with 1.13 (and beyond), starting with a stream today at 1600 GMT.

Welcome, one and all!

Hey all,

I'm helping out the AoD development team, and we'd love to hear what is most important to you when it comes to this great game. What are your tips and strategies on how to improve it?

Significant progress continues to be made on the 1.13 update, and we aim to continue developing it further after that.

I've made a simple poll using a website called Typeform, please see it here[0g5bfehrxpv.typeform.com]. There's just two quick questions so we can see what is most important to you, the players!

Plus you're more then welcome to provide any feedback suggestions via that poll - or indeed, by commenting here, or in the Paradox[forum.paradoxplaza.com] forums.

This beautiful game continues to be developed by a dedicated few, they are calling upon us for our feedback, input and suggestions into how we can make this game even better.

They are especially looking at developing the technology tree, which is already going to have a major overhaul, you can see and comment here:-

MagooNZ has ignited a great discussion on how to further improve the game, with a particular discussion around developing the (light?) infantry division and the brigade system, here:-
