Austria-Hungary is the focus of this week's build. They see changes to the number of territories they hold. The Danube river and Carpathian mountains have been added to the map as terrain details.
Developer Comments: Austria was previously the most underpowered Great Power in the game. This change gives them more strength at the start of the game, as well as capacity to build additional factories into the late game.
Developer Comments: Mountain ranges are a new mechanic that will be rolled out over the coming weeks. They block movement between territories that are adjacent.
When a territory borders another territory you can invade with your army if you are at war. However if there is a mountain range on the border between two territories you will not be able to attack.
Developer Comments: Rivers are a new cosmetic feature that replaces some borders. They are currently a visual detail that has no mechanics.
In a future update, when you attack over a river border you will suffer an Attack disadvantage.
