Starting May 1st, Politics and War will no longer offer VIP Benefits (access to the VIP Lounge, new VIP forum pips) to VIP members. All in-game benefits will remain, rest-assured, this is just to reduce my workload in manually processing VIP subscriptions on the forum.

If you have any questions or concerns, please read the full thread here where I've likely addressed them. https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12300-4182016-deprecating-vip-forum-benefits/

Check out your Customize Military page, you now have options for Spies, Missiles, and Nuclear Weapons.

This isn't anything related to gameplay, just a quick announcement that I've removed the "Report" message button (the little red alarm) and replaced it was a "Block" button. You now have the ability to block communications from other players - what this will do is prevent you from seeing any messages from them, and won't let them set an embargo/war declaration message when interacting with you.

This does not prevent you from being attacked by other players or anything like that, this is just a quality of life improvement for players who wish not to communicate with select others.

You can manage your blocked users on the Account page, which got spruced up a little bit and is more convenient to use.

Good news, folks! Donation limits have been reset for the month of April. This means that even if you redeemed credits in March, you have the opportunity to redeem another 10 credits (for bonuses like in-game cash, resources, infrastructure, or selling credits on the market) between now and May 1st.

Thanks for supporting Politics & War, and here's to another month of growth and development!
