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
04/06/2020 - Destroying Cities & City Name Length |
---|
City names can now be up to 50 characters long. You can now destroy your cities. I've been getting many requests to have cities deleted, so I have implemented it directly into the game. If you sell a city to 0.01 infrastructure, a button will appear that will allow you to destroy it. Note: You will not receive a refund. Destroying a city is NOT reversible. You will not be able to destroy your city if you have more National Projects than National Project Slots available.![]() Posted by Alex 04/06/2020 04:50 pm |

03/24/2020 - (Late) Quarterly Report |
Politics & War Quarterly Report Hello, My apologies for not writing this sooner. My intention was to do quarterly reports every quarter (3 months), but due to the fiasco with NPO, GOONS, etc. in the beginning of February when this report was due I just didn't have time to put it together. Since then, I wasn't sure if I would do one this quarter or just wait until the next, but enough people have asked that I thought I would throw one together. We didn't get everything done in the last quarter that I hoped, which was in large part due to the significant amount of moderation needed last quarter. Things have really settled down in the last month or so, and I've been able to spend a lot more time doing development work instead of moderation, which is nice. That said, let's review all of the things that did get done between the last quarterly report (Nov 1, 2019) and now:
A couple of things I'm currently working on that will be released soon:
--- You can see, we've got a lot done! A lot of which has been completed recently. I'm finally working full-time hours on P&W, and I've been able to get a lot of things done. Now, what's next? I've got a lot planned, and the following list is an overview, not a comprehensive or exclusive list of things to come. Note, this may not all be completed by the next quarterly report on May 1, 2020.
On the last item, I am certainly not a digital marketing expert, so I am wondering if there is anyone who works in marketing that would be interested in helping design ad images, copy, or even short videos that I can use to promote Politics & War. If you have experience and are interested in helping out, please contact me on Discord (Alex_PW#4970) That's it for now, folks. I hope you're as excited as me about the future of P&W and all of the improvements yet to come! If you have a suggestion that isn't included on this list, please post it here: https://forum.politicsandwar.com/index.php?/forum/52-game-suggestions/ I may not respond to each and every suggestion personally, but I do periodically review and adopt suggestions posted there. --- In other news, if you're interested in free Credits, we are doing a giveaway on March 31 of 5 Credits to 3 random winners.

03/16/2020 - Quality of Life Updates |
A number of quality of life updates and bug fixes were just released: • Changing message sorting to bring unread messages to the top of your inbox after favorited messages • Fixed bug that was causing the Read/Unread message icons to display incorrectly • Added “Number of Cities†to filter criteria on the nation search page • Added “Number of Cities†to the sort criteria on the nation search page • Added “Cities†as a column displayed on the nation search page • Removed “Continent†as a column displayed on the nation search page • Removed “Show Vacation Mode Nations†as a toggleable filter on the nation search page.
