Jun 1, 2025June 2025 performance highlights for Force-Attack/Force-Attack: Delivered multiple balance-focused features and stability improvements across Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific theatres. Key policy and focus changes include Finland nerfs and related adjustments, and reapplication of vanilla Romania ideas to preserve vanilla expectations. France colonial focus was reworked with West Africa buffs and an Autarky path, expanding strategic decision depth. Major balance adjustments were introduced, including Generic Tree massmobilization nerf, vanilla naval IC tuning, and removal of winter logistics to simplify play. The sprint also included removal of Malaya cores and ongoing regional balance tweaks. A comprehensive bug-fix wave addressed critical logic and stability issues (focus bypass, wargoal focus state, Italy triple SF doctrine, host tool observer, core/defines alignment) and several targeted state-core fixes (Australia).
