Hi guys! Pretty neat update here, read the forum post and discuss here: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1665-4292014-partial-trades/

Basically, this update allows you (using the trade screen) to accept parts of offers. See 100 steel for sale? You no longer have to buy all 100 at one time, you can buy 5, or 10, or 11, or whatever amount you want (that's at least 1 and no more than 100). You no longer need to post multiple small offers. Using this new feature is easy, instead of an icon you clicked to buy things, you can now enter an amount in a box and click a button.

Enjoy this change and look forward to more economic updates soon! :)

* When you create a trade, you no longer automatically lose the money/resources. You hold on to them until someone accepts your offer. This means you won't be able to "hide" money or resources away in trades. Unfortunately, it also means that all the offers you see on the market aren't guaranteed. You could, potentially, post an offer to sell 80 steel and then go buy 80 tanks and have 0 steel, but your offer would still be posted (This is why I did it the other way to begin with). If you come across such a trade, it will tell you they don't have enough resources/money and the trade will get deleted. Hopefully this won't be too common of an occurrence, as I'm sure it will be annoying.
* The other thing I did was add a link to nation colors on nation pages so it takes you to a search results page of all nations on that color. Nothing major there.

More economic updates will follow shortly, the ability to partially accept trade offers and also banks.

Hi guys, kind of an important update today. I'd really recommend that you read the whole forum post here: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1614-4232014-scoring-and-military-update/

Seriously, give that a read. I'll give a brief summary here:
* I changed the score formula in a way that more accurate represents nation growth and military strength. You most likely saw a drop in score, but that's normal for everyone.
* Barracks now can hold 3,000 soldiers instead of 2,000. Factories now hold 250 tanks instead of 400.
* Casualties have been reduced in battles slightly.
* Upkeep costs have been increased for most units.

Again definitely give the forum post a read, it's got a lot more information. Thanks!

Hey guys! Pretty big update here actually, introducing a whole new color and some changes to trade and war. Please give the forum post a read, anything I put here won't be nearly as good as what I've written there:

Enjoy the update guys!

I added season indicators and fixed that the seasonal effect on food production wasn't being shown on the revenue page.
The game has an updated Terms and Conditions and Game Rules now, with links to them in the bottom right hand corner. There's clarification on the multiple nations per network rule, as well as declaring that war slot filling is not allowed.
Lastly, I'm working on a series of tutorial videos to help new players understand the game. This first one is a very, very basic introduction and also a walkthrough getting your nation registered. It talks about what your first steps should be once you've signed up (how to buy infrastructure, land, and improvements) as well as how to use the market to buy and sell resources. It even includes a bit about joining alliances and how to do so at the end. If you're a new nation you might want to take a peek (or maybe even just listen to me talk in the background).
