v27: SAM Stacking + Naval Pace Slowed

Major New Mechanics

SAM range stacking: Multiple SAMs in the same area are no longer redundant — multiple SAMs jointly increase coverage radius. SAM networks finally pay back on investment.
Transport retreat troop penalty: Naval banking (mass-producing transports to hoard troops without launching) gets hit — recalling transport ships now loses a portion of the troops.
AFK ship takeover: v26 added territory takeover, v27 extends it to all of an AFK teammate’s navy.
Touchscreen Warship control: Phone / tablet users can now precisely command Warship movement.

Item	Old	New	Impact
Stacked SAMs	Range did not stack	Level and range stack jointly	Nuclear umbrella becomes cheaper to set up
Transport retreat	Almost no loss	Fixed percentage troop loss	Sea banking tactics dead
Nation AI (again)	Already buffed in v26	Further tuned diplomacy and combat	Medium-difficulty Nations are tougher
Spawned Bots	Fully independent	Self-clean to avoid being farmed	Bot-farming for gold in public lobbies is weakened

Death screen plays a link to Enzo’s tutorial video.
New version News modal refined: only veteran players see the popup, new players aren’t bothered.
Main page Z-index fix: modals no longer hidden behind buttons.
Emoji table rendering fixed in Firefox.
Wiki link migration: from miraheze to openfront.wiki.

SAMs are now worth stacking: After v25, a single SAM already deters AI nukes; from v27, multiple SAMs stacked on strategic points form a real defensive umbrella.
Navy is commit-or-skip: The retreat penalty means “build ships and sit on them” is over — confirm the timing before you land.
Mobile players unlock naval play: Sea tactics previously dropped because you couldn’t fine-control Warships can now be picked back up after v27.
