03/10/2021 - Show Current Top Offers, General Improvements
  • We've released a big improvement to creating new trade offers. You can now press a button "Show Current Top Offers" which will pull the lowest 5 sell offers and highest 5 buy offers for the resource you have selected. This way, if you want to undercut price effectively you won't need to jump between pages. By pulling 5 trades, you'll also be able to recognize if the current cheapest offer is way, way, below everything else as well (same for buy offers.)
  • Fixed a bug with the Average Trade Price displaying incorrectly
  • Improved the "Change Leader/Nation Name" UI. You can now change both your leader and nation name at the same time (instead of one or the other) and it will check in real time to see if the name that you want is available.
  • You can now search nations by Nation ID. You can enter in a nation ID and it will search for a strict match along with all other criteria, and you can also select to search specifically by Nation ID.

03/04/2021 - iOS App - In App Purchases Bug (& Fix)

This is for users of the App Store app for Politics and War on iOS.

In App Purchases on the iOS App

When we updated the app to version 1.0.1 there was a bug that caused in-app purchases to not get processed automatically. While we were able to fix this bug and we have pushed version 1.0.2 to the App Store, there are still some purchases coming in that do not appear to have been handled correctly.

For privacy reasons, Apple doesn't give us a list of all the transactions, unfortunately. So if you made an in-app purchase for Credits and did not receive them, please send me (Alex) a message in the game, or you can reach me via email at [email protected]. Please include a copy of your Apple receipt when you do so.

I am so sorry for the inconvenience here and we will do whatever we need to to make it right.

Facebook Login on the iOS App

On a related note, Apple now requires that we include “Sign in with Apple” in our app if we offer any 3rd party login service (i.e. Facebook login.) So while we work on implementing Sign in with Apple, we unfortunately have had to remove the Facebook register/login from the App Store app. You can still login to your account via your email address (which will be the same as your Facebook email.) If you are not sure what this email is, you can visit https://politicsandwar.com in your mobile browser where you will still be able to login with Facebook. On the Account page, you will be able to see the email address associated with your account. You can also change the email address tied to your Politics & War account there if you wish. If you do not know or can't remember your password, you can use the Forgot Password feature to reset it via your email address.

If you have any trouble with any of this, please feel free to reach out to me through in-game messages, email, or Discord. Thank you, and again sorry for the inconvenience.

02/25/2021 - General Update - App Store live, improvements & bug fixes

Hi everyone,

A few updates to publish here:

  • If you haven't seen it yet, our App Store app is live: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/politics-and-war/id1552461332
  • Made some improvements to the Create Trade Offer page, click here to see video
  • The City Template Export page has been updated to make it compatible with the App versions of the game. This may break any existing API applications. To resolve that issue, I have duplicated the old version of the page which is now available in the following URL format: https://politicsandwar.com/api/city_export.php?city_id={cityid}
    I noted this in an HTML comment on the city export page as well.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug causing emails to not display properly for some users using Windows 10 Mail or Outlook
  • Fixed a bug with baseball away games not being tracked properly when you lose
  • A new field called "vm_turns" which is the number of turns of Vacation Mode remaining has been added to the Nations .csv daily export
