Silesian Wars

Update 5.0.0 with tutorial

Back from Grunwald

I spent most of my vacation at the Battle of Grunwald reenactment - knights, banners, and a field full of people who take medieval history very seriously.

Good to be back at the keyboard, though. I have just finished tutorial and Silesiopedia, something most of you requested from the beginning. Photo by Radko Kędzierzawy

New: Guided Tutorial

Never sure what the diplomacy panel does, or when to press ready? The new Tutorial is a guided tour on almost all aspects of the game — advisory, unhurried, and safe to click around while you read.

  • Nine chapters — Time Control, UI, The Map, Economy, War, Logistics, and more
  • Spotlights real UI panels and map modes as you go; highlights are visual only, nothing is locked
  • Steps are linked into Silesiopedia containing more information about the subject
  • Replay any chapter
  • Start it using main-menu Tutorial button

New: Silesiopedia

An in-game encyclopedia for every system worth remembering. Silesiopedia is one click (or F1) away from the main menu or game map.

  • Searchable glossary across diplomacy, economy, war, logistics, map modes, religion, and UI
  • Fuzzy search and cross-links between related terms
  • Available from the action strip, game menu, and tutorial steps via Read in Silesiopedia

Changed: Province highlighting

Map feedback is now less intrusive. Selection and neighbour-order hints use border-only outlines instead of washing the whole province — so map modes, army stacks, and terrain stay readable at a glance.

Improved: Big Arrow

Late-game (or early) logistics on a wide front got a serious upgrade. Big Arrow now:

  • Covers only your provinces under the stroke - no false promises on foreign land
  • Mouse scroll while dragging to widen or narrow the sweep (×1 up to ×100; starts at ×50)
  • Shift + drag to lay auto-moves along the arrow; Ctrl + drag to clear auto-moves in bulk
  • Can be accesed from orders panel

Handy when you need to shove a whole line forward - or strip auto-send rules across dozens of gminas without clicking each province one by one.

Thank you

If something still reads wrong on the map or in the tutorial text, leave a note in the discussions.

More polish from Polish incoming ;) — Chris
