Hi everyone!

Some of you may know that we were recently experiencing an issue where Microsoft was blocking our emails (they weren't even going to junk/spam folders.) We've resolved that issue.

We've also resolved a long-standing issue with iCloud emails; those should work with the game as well.

On another note, we're working on implementing a better “bad word” filter throughout the game. If you experience any issues with that (i.e. false positives) please let me know.

Some new changes got pushed live a bit ago:

1. Custom nation descriptions should now be contained in a box that is max height 500px on desktop and max height 300px on mobile. This should alleviate issues of people having super long descriptions and then other people complaining about that

2. There is a setting now on the Account page to hide nation descriptions by default. If you have this enabled, you'll still be able to click to show any given nation description

3. In the Alliance Control Panel, expired or cancelled treaties should now all be moved into an "Archive" tab for easier management

4. There is an "Alliance Tax Totals" on the Alliance Control Panel that will show you the total amount of revenue your alliance has brought in from taxes in the past 24 hours

5. In the Nation Search page, you can now sort by "Last Active"

(I know there is at least one bug with pending treaties showing in the wrong tab that will be fixed soon. But for the most part, all seems to be working as expected!)

Donations have now been reset for the new month! You can now redeem up to 10 Credits for at least $200,000,000 directly in-game each month.

Hi everyone!

I am excited to announce some pretty significant updates being pushed live here. First and foremost, 4 new national projects that have been in the works for a couple of months now have been QA tested are being pushed live. Here's what they are and what they do:

• Arable Land Agency
  • This project makes it easier and more cost effective to acquire new habitable land, reducing the cost of purchasing new land in all cities by 5%.
  • This project costs $3,000,000 and 1,500 Coal and 1,500 Lead.
• Advanced Engineering Corps
  • This project develops new technologies that make building new infrastructure and acquiring new land cheaper. This project reduces the cost of new land and infrastructure by 5%. Advanced Engineering Corps requires the Center for Civil Engineering and Arable Land Agency national projects to be built.
  • This project costs $50,000,000 and 10,000 Gasoline, 10,000 Munitions, and 1,000 Uranium.
• Clinical Research Center
  • This project is a dedicated effort to combating infectious diseases in your nation, increasing the disease reduction rate from Hospitals by 1% from 2.5% to 3.5% each. This project also allows you to build an additional Hospital in each city.
  • This project costs $10,000,000 and 100,000 Food.
• Specialized Police Training Program
  • This project increases the quality and effectiveness of your city police forces. This project increases the crime reduction rate from Police Stations by 1% from 2.5% to 3.5% each. This project also allows you to build an additional Police Station in each city.
  • This project costs $10,000,000 and 100,000 Food.

Also, in case you missed it, we added a new Domestic Policy called Rapid Expansion that gives you an additional 5% discount to land purchases. Note that these domestic policies and projects all stack when it comes to reducing infrastructure and land costs, so you can get up to 15% off of each if you have the relevant domestic policy and projects built.
 

On a more minor note, we have also changed how VIPs can upload custom city images. You can now upload directly to the game instead of needing to host it offsite and paste in the URL. This will help alleviate some of the issues we've been having (mainly from users using imgur.com and the images then not displaying correctly.)
 

We have also added a setting to adjust the font size displayed when you use the game. You can set this per device, and there's a video tutorial explaining this here: https://youtu.be/5eF4pVMJHME
 

We have added the ability for everyone (not just VIPs) to upload and name a custom currency for their nation. We have a video tutorial on that here: https://youtu.be/fmkj6bD7EDk
 

You can now publicly commend or denounce other players' nations in-game. This doesn't do anything but send them a notification and make a record in the activity log, but all commendments and denouncements are tabulated on your nation page. 6 new achievements were added related to this new feature as well. Note that to prevent spamming it, we have put a 10 minute restriction on commendments/denouncements for any particular nation (you can't spam someone by commending/denouncing repeatedly.)
 

Let me know what you think about the changes! We have lots more in the works. If you would like to contribute to the development and marketing of Politics and War, please consider making a donation (purchasing Credits.) You can do a lot with Credits, from getting an extra $200,000,000 for your nation each month to putting up fun player advertisements in the game. You can Donate and see everything you can do with Credits on the Donate page here: https://politicsandwar.com/donate/
 

Hi everyone,

Here are a couple of recently added things that might make the game a bit better for you:

• I added a hover-over tooltip on the nation search page for beige nations that will tell you how many beige turns they have remaining

•  You can now also change the default font size. I know that I had updated the font and font-size about a week ago, and I got some feedback from players saying it was now too big. You can now adjust the size on the account page, and “Medium” is the default.
  I tried to make this as flexible as possible because some players stated the font was okay on mobile but too big on desktop or vice-versa, so when you adjust that setting it will just save a cookie in your browser. This means that if you play P&W on multiple devices/browsers you will need to adjust the setting for each (or you can have a different setting for each, which is why I set it up that way.)
