Changelog

I try to record all updates to the game here. Each changelog post should have a relevant forum post, so head there for discussion: Announcements

03/20/2014 - Sheepy Will Be AFK Temporarily
Hi everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm going on a trip, leaving tomorrow (Friday) and will be gone until next Friday. I'll still have access to internet and my tablet and stuff, so I'll be able to process donations (maybe not quite as fast as I normally do) and deal with any game-breaking bugs while I'm away from home.

I simply wanted to let everyone know so you don't think I'm dead or have left you or the game. I'll be back next Friday and things will continue just like before. Keep enjoying Politics and War!

03/18/2014 - Improvements Cost Resources
Something that has been planned for a long time, some improvements cost resources to build. These are 'late game' improvements, or ones for larger nation to buy. This will help increase demand of steel and aluminum and help grow smaller nations and create incentive for trade.

03/17/2014 - Game Improvements (War Stuff Mostly)
I made the site easier to use on mobile devices (made sure the resource bar is always visible)
All nations are a part of the 2 hour revenue system as of this update
There is a Conflicts page available to see global wars listed
You have the ability to search directly for nations in your war range now. There's a handy link available on your Wars page.

Thanks!

03/15/2014 - War Timelines & Trade Offers
Read more about this update on the forum here: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1173-3152014-very-minor-changes/

Pretty minor changes here,

I've tinkered with the create trade offer page and gave it two buttons instead of a drop down list for buying and selling resources.
War Timelines now display airstrikes that target ships
On the war timeline page you can now see total losses calculated for that war

That's all I've got for you guys today, keep playing Politics and War and invite your friends, too! The game is more fun with more players!

Edit: I also optimized the normal trade screen, now if you set search parameters on say, the "My Trade Offers" page and really you meant to search Globally, clicking the "Global Trades" link won't make you re enter all the information, it'll just keep the same parameters (so long as you hit "Go" on the "My Trade Offers" page first).

This should make things a little bit easier to use as well.

03/13/2014 - Activity Promotion
Hi guys! Not a big update here, but just wanted to make everyone aware of a few things:

Everyday you log in from here on out you will get a $1,000 bonus to your nation. It's not a large bonus, but if you logged in every day for a month it's an easy $30,000. This is simply to encourage players to log in and check on their nations everyday.

The other notable change is that nations (starting tonight at midnight server time) will be deleted after 45 days of inactivity instead of 60. I've also set up the system so that you'll receive an e-mail at 10 days of inactivty, 25 days of inactivity, and finally 40 days of inactivity warning you that your nation will be deleted if you don't log in.

Hopefully this will all work out just fine without any bugs, thanks for playing Politics and War!
