11/10/2019 - Mobile Navbar Improvements

I have made a number of changes to the mobile navigation experience. You may have noticed the other day that I changed the order/buttons on the mobile navbar.

Today, I have enabled customization options so that each player can tailor the mobile experience to their liking. This includes selecting what three buttons they would like to appear on their mobile navbar, as well as the ability to turn on the resource bar which was removed when the new mobile navbar was added.

Unfortunately, for styling purposes the resources bar had to be moved to the bottom of the page so as not to conflict with the new navbar.

The options for navbar buttons are:

  • Notifications (turns Red when you have unread notifications)
  • Nation (if you have unread messages, shows a red envelope that takes you to your inbox instead.)
  • Alliance
  • Resources (Popup / New Resources UI)
  • Wars
  • Trade
  • Military

Here is a short demo video of the functionality:

10/22/2019 - VIP Party

VIP customization has received a large improvement. For VIP users, instead of being forced to host your images off-site, you can now upload your VIP images directly on the VIP page. Additionally, when your VIP status expires and you renew, all of your images will have been saved and come back immediately.

Additionally, a new Donation option has been added to the game called VIP Party. This donation option gives all members of your alliance +30 days of VIP status (applicants and members with less than 7 days seniority are excluded.) This option costs 30 Credits and does not count toward your monthly Credit redemption limit.

10/09/2019 - Baseball Changes

Quick update on some changes to the game that were made today.

Baseball was disabled for a short time earlier today while I did some investigating into potential baseball scripting & abuse. Baseball has been re-enabled, with the following changes:

  • Added increased security on reCAPTCHA for verifying if human. This applies to baseball, trading, and the game in general when it occasionally asks you to fill out a CAPTCHA.
  • Baseball earnings after 1,000 games have already been played for the day will only generate 10% of the normal revenue for home games. The winning team’s revenue is not affected by this.
  • There is now a rate limit on baseball game:. You can only host a home game once every 5 seconds. This restriction should be non-binding for the vast majority of players. It effectively caps the number of games played per day at 16,800. You can only play an away game once every 2 seconds.
  • Ads served by Google have been included on baseball host/away game pages to create some random variation in the play button location which should help curb macro abuse.

There were two other minor additions unrelated to baseball:

A "Copy Nation Link" button has been added on nation pages next to your Nation ID field in the Basic Information table.

Six new winter city images have been added as default options: Nome, Stockholm, Reykjavik, Anchorage, Castelmezzano, and Antarctica
