  EZIHL to start play in September 2025

  The Elthize Ice Hockey League will start their inaugural season later this year
  April 15, 2025

  The Elthize Ice Hockey League (EZIHL) will commence with its inaugural season on September 8, 2025, the EZIHL commissioner, Gabe Keller, has announced in a press conference. The league will represent the highest level of ice hockey in Elthize, following the demise of the old Elthize Hockey League (EHL) in 2023.

  "Words cannot explain how excited we are to share this moment with you", Keller stated in the press conference. "We are looking forward to seeing you in September."

  Six teams will participate in the first season of EZIHL, including St. Lucas Blaze, Forecoaster Capitals, and Ackerson Guards, as well as teams from Montgomery, Brownell, and Mananifari / Hunnicutt (labelled as Hunnicutt in the league), who have not yet announced their branding. They have until July 21st, when the inaugural draft will be held, to do so.

  The inaugural season will see the six teams play each other at least two times, one home game and one away game. They are divided into two divisions: The Northern Division will include Forecoaster, Ackerson and Brownell, meanwhile the Southern Division will include St. Lucas, Montgomery, and Mananifari / Hunnicutt.

  The first and second place in each division will qualify for the semifinals, which will be best of five, and the winner of the two semifinals will qualify for the finals, which will be best of seven.

  The regular season will begin on September 8, 2025 and will conclude on February 23, 2026.

  The league has already had controversies. Hunter Vance, governor of Montgomery province, stated that, due to the province's long history with ice hockey, the province should have had at least two teams at the inaugural season. This proposal was declined by Keller, who noted that the EZIHL would expand in the future.

  Additionally, the name of Mananifari / Hunnicutt being displayed as Hunnicutt was also controversial, as the name of the city was changed in 2024 to display both the Elfiz name and the English name, to reflect the history of the city, MP Rebel Kofi (Elfiz Party - Eltikitani) declared the naming "disrespectful". Preston Vale, owner of the Hunnicutt team, declined to comment.

  Update 18/04/2025: The Montgomery and Hunnicutt teams have announced that their names will be Montgomery Royals and Hunnicutt Titans respectively.

  Hey y'all, Axel here.

  I have drafted a decently sized update to the War System, mostly focused on cost balancing. Guess what everything is more expensive now! Before going official I wanted to post the patch notes so those interested can discuss and share issues they see or whatever comments they might have.

  This update focused mostly on reworking ground forces so that they are an equal concern when budgeting. Also raised upkeep costs of every single unit. Big capital units are also way more expensive to have now!

  Another big change is the Ground-Based Superweapons or soon to be called Strategic Forces! Where ICBMs are way more expensive to have, this was mostly done as I feel a lot of countries have ICBMs when they probably should not, as such the cost associated with them is raised so that hopefully only nations with practically uses for them will attempt to implement them. (Why would you spend millions on an ICBM just for it to have a "conventional warhead"). Check the notes for more specifics!

  Can not wait to hear feedback, otherwise changes probably go live in 2 weeks!
