Update 5.33: Clan Rumble, Custom Fog

Warzone has just been updated to version 5.33.0! This update adds a new clan competition called Clan Rumble as well as a bunch of other improvements. This blog post describes what’s changed.

This update is live now on the website at warzone.com and on the standalone clients. This update will come to the Android and iOS apps in the coming week or two.

Clan Rumble

A new on-going clan competition kicks off with this update which is called Clan Rumble! Clan Rumble is a mega game with up to 400 players that any clanned player may join, up to a maximum of 5 players from each clan.

Clan-mates will be automatically teamed together when the game starts.

The winning team will win 3000 coins and glory for their clan!

You can join the first one at this link. The game will start in 4 days, even if it’s not full, so join soon! The next game in the series will be created 60 days after this one starts. Good luck!

Custom Fog

Mod creators now have the ability to control the fog levels of individual territories in Warzone Classic games. Mods have a lot of flexibility in what they can do, as they can either increase or decrease visibility of territories, and choose exactly which players the changes apply to (even teammates can have different visibility if mod authors choose to do so).

I’ve published an example mod to show how it can be used call the Smoke Bomb Card mod. When you play a Smoke Bomb, you can target a territory, and for the next turn that territory and all adjacent territories will be fogged for all players. It’s kind of like a reverse reconnaissance card.

This has been a frequent request from the mod making community, so I’m excited to see what they create!

Other Changes

• Classic: Mega games that are in-progress now show the number of active players on the My Games page, in the format “active players / total players”

• Classic: When you get auto-committed in a multi-day game, you’ll now get a popup the next time you open the game explaining that you were auto-committed. This helps new players understand what is going on, such as why all of their armies may not have been deployed.
