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
08/05/2021 - Happy 7th Birthday, Politics and War! |
---|
Hello everyone, It is now 7 years since Politics and War was officially launched on August 5, 2014. That's why you're seeing confetti - to turn the confetti off, there is a setting here: Confetti/Snow Animations I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to you all - the players - for making Politics and War so special. This is a community driven game, and I attribute the success of the game to you all and your dedication to it. Without you and all of the many players we have had over these past 7 years, none of this would be possible. We have done a lot in the past year. There have been about 40 changelog updates in that time, and here are some of the highlights:
This coming year, and I am hoping to do even bigger and better things! We will continue to improve and develop Politics and War, largely guided by feedback from you all in the community. Some of the best features and components of the game (okay, probably all of the best features and components) are the result of player suggestions and feedback. I'm just the guy who puts the code together to make it happen. Thank you all again so much, and here's to our 8th anniversary next year! -Alex Posted by Alex 08/05/2021 02:56 am |

07/15/2021 - Server Upgrade, Potential Brief Outage |
I am going to upgrade our main database server today, roughly doubling its size. This ought to improve overall game performance and help us better accommodate the large increase in players we've seen over the past 6 months. Accordingly, there may be some downtime between 3PM - 4PM EST today (7/15/2021). I don't expect this will take longer than half an hour, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up in any case. Thank you all for your continued support! We are working hard to continue to improve and develop the game to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible. Posted by Alex 07/15/2021 05:59 pm |

06/17/2021 - New City and National Project Timers Are Now Separated |
This change has been requested for a long time, and in the works for a long time, and now, finally, pushed live. Previously, these were combined into a single timer allowing you to build a new city OR national project every 10 days. This has changed! These timers are now separate. You can now build a new city anytime 10 days after your last city, regardless of whether or not you have built a national project. Similarly, you can build a new national project anytime 10 days after your last national project, regardless of whether you have built a city. Other previous restrictions and exemptions do still apply. For example, nations with less than 10 cities are exempt from the 10 day timer on building a new city. The "Timer Reset" donation option has also been split. You can now reset your City Timer only for 3 Credits, or your Project Timer only for 1 Credit. If you run into any unexpected issues, please open a support ticket in our Discord Server in the #support channel, or send me a personal message in-game (Alex of Mountania).
