Change Log

New features, clearer rules and small improvements to your time at sea. Here is what has changed in Iron Tide.

  1. Latest

    Japanese, Korean and clearer navigation

    • Added Japanese and Korean across the interface, campaign story and guides.
    • Added a dedicated change log and improved the top navigation across desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

  2. Clearer timers and smoother turns

    • Online deployment now has a 60-second countdown. When it expires, placed ships stay put and the remaining ships are placed automatically.
    • Online turns last 30 seconds. A timeout fires a random shot; three consecutive missed turns forfeit the match (two while disconnected).
    • Turn banners, a timer bar and an audible cue make it clearer when to act. The enemy board dims while you wait.

  4. More languages and a tidier layout

    • Added Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Turkish and Ukrainian, with a language switcher.
    • Improved links and spacing across desktop and mobile, and fixed a clipped sign-in dialog.

  5. Weekly tournaments and profiles

    • Arena rankings reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC; each week's winner joins the Hall of Fame.
    • Optional Google sign-in, generated public names and country flags let players keep a ranked profile. Guests can play without an account.

  6. Rules and guides, close at hand

    • Added rules, fleet sizes, strategy, game history and answers to common questions.
    • Added printable grids for playing with pencil and paper.

  7. Set sail

    • Launched Classic and Tactical battles, with sonar, torpedoes and airstrikes in Tactical mode.
    • Added a 20-mission story campaign with fog, mines, night battles and boss encounters.
    • Added private rooms with shareable invites and rematches, plus music, sound effects and narrated story scenes.
