A small but significant update: In 3 days, Fortify will cost 4 MAPs. Effective immediately, infrastructure price formula has been updated, resulting in a slight decrease in infrastructure costs (almost) across the board.

Alliance tax brackets are here! Here's the link to the update post on the forums: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20634-7182017-alliance-tax-brackets/

I also did a quick write-up on PWPedia, you can find that here: https://politicsandwar.com/pwpedia/26/

I should also note that the Daily Login Bonus has been increased to a cap of $300,000 / day for all nations, and $600,000 / day for new nations (less than 60 days old). The new minimum login bonus is $100,000 and it increases by $20,000 / day for each day that you login consecutively.

A few minor things have been updated in-game, read all about it here: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20590-7122017-a-few-small-changes/

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to point out to everyone that today is "JULY 12TH: INTERNET-WIDE DAY OF ACTION TO SAVE NET NEUTRALITY" Net Neutrality is an important cause and one near and dear to me, as without it it's likely small websites like Politics & War would be virtually non-existent. If you have a minute and live in the United States, please go here https://www.battleforthenet.com/ and take a minute to send an e-mail and/or call your representatives and senators about the issue. If you're unfamiliar with Net Neutrality, I would recommend looking into the issue, as it is an important one for anyone who spends a lot of time on the internet.

Also, I'm hoping to announce alliance tax brackets and a bulk city template importer (to do all of your cities at once) later today.

A significant change has occurred to how Commerce & Resource Production works! Click here to read the full update: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20541-792017-the-great-deflation/

The gist of the changes is that in most cases, raw resource production was halved and the cap on the number of raw resource improvements you can have was doubled. Manufacturing improvements have had their caps increased from 3 to 5. Commerce improvements have been nerfed slightly. Upkeep and build costs did not change. Here's a quick comprehensive view of the changes:

On a related note, the market has been cleared of all trade offers in case anyone wants to rethink their trades in light of these changes.
