Missions no longer need to be claimed one by one, and you can see your progress right on the buttons you're using.
Auto-claim: mission XP is now granted the instant a mission completes — no more tapping each mission to collect. A toast pops up and plays the XP animation automatically. (Per-mission "ready to claim" dots are gone; the finished-set bonus still shows its claim badge.)
Mission tags on buttons: action buttons across the game (work/economy, combat, MU, market, chat, articles, craft/dismantle/cases) now show a circular progress ring and a tooltip listing the active missions tied to that action. When several missions share a button it surfaces the highest-priority one (starting > daily > weekly, specific before generic).
Live updates: mission progress streams over websockets, so rings and tags update without refreshing.
Creating a military unit now counts toward the join MU mission (the creator auto-joins if they had none).
New Deal damages on orders mission.
Country and alliance labels are now crisp HTML markers (flag/avatar on top, name below) with a fade-in animation, replacing the old map text. Region labels got the same treatment with better decluttering so they no longer overlap at zoom changes.
Alliance map mode: each alliance shows a single shared label, and countries not in an alliance now keep their own colors instead of being greyed out.
Split-territory countries (island clusters) correctly show one label per landmass; labels still respect the hide flags option.
New alliance shortcut in the region right-click menu (shown when the country is in an alliance), styled in the alliance's color.
Skins can now be bought with money (not just gems). Gifting and author commissions are paid in the matching currency; money-priced skins are excluded from gem skin packs.
New skin: WC2026 (World Cup 2026) — Mythic light-ammo skin, 500 money, available until 2026-06-30.
The shop home page has a new Skins section (top 6, money-buyable first) with owned-state checkmarks and a redesigned card.
Foreign-citizen income tax: when you work in a country you're not a citizen of, 30% of your work income tax now goes to your citizenship country and the rest to the country where you work.
This replaces the old resistance "hijack" mechanic: a conquered region's resistance bar no longer redirects up to 40% of company-wage income tax (or development income) to the originally-owning country. All region development income now goes to the current owner. (The resistance-bar tooltip describing the old hijack is gone.)
Region transfer tax: proposing a region transfer (Propose transfer region) now charges an extra paper transfer tax on top of the region's price — same rate as a country-to-country money transfer — paid by the buying country.
Debuff duration reduced from 16h to 15.5h
19 new premium emotes: :Aaaah:, :CoupleLove:, :Evil:, :Hmm:, :ICANT:, :Letsgo:, :Warerita:, :begone:, :carefulthere:, :cry:, :fish:, :hampter:, :huggie:, :patpat:, :skclowns:, :skull:, :sway:, :talktohand: and :yipee:.
Craft: the crafting modal now remembers the rarity you last selected across sessions.
Search: results now include alliances, and searching a raw ID resolves it directly across users, countries, regions, MUs, parties and alliances. User matches bumped from 3 to 5.
Profile fix: the skills notification dot now only shows on your own profile, not on other players'.
Colorblind mode reworked: the old full-UI palette swap is replaced by a lighter opt-in toggle in Layout Options that only adjusts item rarity colors (Epic shows as pink to separate it from blue Rare); the setting syncs to your account. Legendary's color also moved from amber to yellow.
New accounts now start with 100 light ammo (was 30).
Alliance mentions: alliance links pasted in articles and chat now render as clickable alliance names, like country/MU/company/party mentions.
On a personal note:
