Please join me for an ask-me-anything session live on twitch!

This will happen on Sunday April 20th at 11am PDT. See this link for the time in your local time zone: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=April+20th+at+11am+PDT

I'll also go over all the new updates and I'll be answering questions from the community live on twitch at https://twitch.tv/FizzerWL .

If you can't make it but still have a question, leave it as a reply in this thread and I'll go over it on stream. You can view the recording after it's over.

Since Fizzer didn't mention it in his post, this stream will be focused around the 5.35 update.
See:
• blog post https://www.warzone.com/blog/index.php/2025/04/update-5-35-idle-premium-mods-in-mega-games-mods-browser/
• forum thread for the update https://www.warzone.com/Forum/821372-update-535-discussion.

Hospitals upgrade 100 times faster

Does that mean the upgrade time goes from 120 minutes to 1,2 minutes = 72 seconds?

Yep!

Thanks for the update, once again these updates are amazing!
I'm expecting the goal of this new browser page (https://www.warzone.com/Mods) to be an information place for players where they can check out all the mods or search for one. I can see some potential with the individual mod pages though (like https://www.warzone.com/Mods/Mod?ID=155).

Would you consider adding more functionality to these pages? I'm thinking of things like more data for everyone (in how many games has the mod been used, maybe even crash rate), bug/crash reporting, extensive mod documentation/manuals, feature requests but then solely for the mod, etc.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts about it, I'll 100% create a feature requests for at least some of them

There are more mods trusted for mega games than there are for tournaments.
Will the available mods for tournaments be expanded in the future too?

The reasoning for this is to ensure that mega games don’t crash or time out, as if mods try to iterate over all territories or all players too much they can hit the timeout limit which would break the game.

Do you have an insight for us what the maximum execution speed is you allowed?

Noticed that the settings page does not show the icon next to the mod name (Forts mod has an icon). Potential improvement or is this not possible?

Can you spare like 5 minutes breaking down how that cw match making works..

Example pick one day, slot 1 to 6 and just enlighten the people that are still questioning the matchmaking

Would be even better if mod info contained a link to the appropriate wiki page. The mod description seems to have a character limit before truncating and can only use plain text (no formatting options).

Just like every other ama:

How is the lawsuit going? Did that court hearing already happen, or was that next month?

Will there ever be an option to buy idle premium as a lifetime purchase like you can for a membership?

clan war benefit that you get to increase 40 person limit

^that would create unfair competition

Have you considered that Easter Sunday might be a time where people are busy with other things, and that it therefor is perhaps not the ideal time to do a AMA stream?

With the more widespread adoption of machine learning, will you consider hosting another another WZ AI competition?

I remember there being such a competition many years ago, but those were mostly based on manually coded logic.
Did that competition come with a simulation for WZ?
If so, is that still available?
Otherwise, will you release some sort of simulation for Warzone so that people can train their own ML models?

You could theoretically train AIs using ladder games, clan war games, quickmatch games and your own games.

I think that manually coded approaches to AI implementation would be better than "learning from data". Take a look at how inaccurate AI models are. Their input data is bad (trained on The Onion and Reddit and taking it as fact)

You could theoretically train AIs using ladder games, clan war games, quickmatch games and your own games.

Getting game data isn't the issue (except with the current api speeds it might be), but you need to be able to apply your AI model to something where it can run super quickly so it can train several iterations per second.

The current/old system of making your AI play a MP game against yourself is way too slow to be able to be used for ML.

Or is it a waste of computational power if the current system is too slow?

Is there a tldr/too long didn't watch?
