Pretty minor changes here,

I've tinkered with the create trade offer page and gave it two buttons instead of a drop down list for buying and selling resources.
War Timelines now display airstrikes that target ships
On the war timeline page you can now see total losses calculated for that war

That's all I've got for you guys today, keep playing Politics and War and invite your friends, too! The game is more fun with more players!

Edit: I also optimized the normal trade screen, now if you set search parameters on say, the "My Trade Offers" page and really you meant to search Globally, clicking the "Global Trades" link won't make you re enter all the information, it'll just keep the same parameters (so long as you hit "Go" on the "My Trade Offers" page first).

This should make things a little bit easier to use as well.

Hi guys! Not a big update here, but just wanted to make everyone aware of a few things:

Everyday you log in from here on out you will get a $1,000 bonus to your nation. It's not a large bonus, but if you logged in every day for a month it's an easy $30,000. This is simply to encourage players to log in and check on their nations everyday.

The other notable change is that nations (starting tonight at midnight server time) will be deleted after 45 days of inactivity instead of 60. I've also set up the system so that you'll receive an e-mail at 10 days of inactivty, 25 days of inactivity, and finally 40 days of inactivity warning you that your nation will be deleted if you don't log in.

Hopefully this will all work out just fine without any bugs, thanks for playing Politics and War!

I've changed the amounts of resources some units use in battle. Here is the new usage values vs. the old ones:

Soldiers use 1 Munitions / 5,000 Soldiers (Instead of 1 Munitions / 2,000 Soldiers)
Tanks use 1 Munitions and 1 Gasoline / 100 Tanks (Instead of 1 Munitions and 1 Gasoline / 10 Tanks)
Aircraft use 1 Munitions and 1 Gasoline / 4 Aircraft (Instead of 1 Munitions and 1 Gasoline / 2 Aircraft)

Lastly, usage is no longer rounded up to the next whole value, and you should be able to use tenths or hundredths of Munitions and Gasoline in battles.

It's possible I've created bugs or anything of the like, if you find any bugs or flaws please report them in the Bug Reports section. Thanks!

Link to Relevant Forum Announcement

As promised, I've released an alliance announcement page for alliance leadership to update their members with what's happening en masse.

It basically works the way the Changelog does, when a new announcement is posted members of the alliance (full members, not applicants) will see a "New!" text next to the alliance link on the sidebar. When they click the link, instead of being taken to the alliance information page like normal it will direct them to the page that the announcements are on so they can see the update. I added a new icon underneath the alliance flag to see the announcements page at any time. It looks like this:

This is a very minor update, but I'd also like to say that the amount of donations pouring in is amazing! We've nearly reached the goal amount needed to cover the extra costs, and I'd say everything is financially stable. You guys are great, and I couldn't have done any of this without you. Thank you so much for your support :)

Hi guys, I wanted to push out a changelog update to bring everyone's attention (not just those on the forums) to an older forum announcement here http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1019-2232014-requesting-money-new-donation-options/

There are a few donation options available with nation rewards that I think everyone should be aware of. To make donating easier, I've included a Donations Page available at http://politicsandwar.com/donate/ and there's also a link to it on the sidebar right below the link to the Changelog. You'll see there are a few donation options, mostly cosmetic things like the stars and portraits and flags, however note that the Donation Stars come with $1,000,000 in-game cash. This is pre-reset only, however, meaning when we end Beta and reset everything that money will be gone forever (you will get to keep the star icons, though).

Lastly I just wanted to bring everyone up to speed on the things I'm planning on adding next. The next two major updates will mostly likely be an Alliance Announcement Board (similar to this Changelog, but alliance specific and only viewable by members), the ability to "Win Wars" (see: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/977-winning-wars/) and making some improvements cost resources to build (Aluminum and Steel, see http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/852-improvements-require-aluminum-andor-steel-to-build/)

That's all I've got for you guys right now, but please consider donating to the game as I am in debt at the moment and trying to raise enough money to cover some unexpected hosting fees. Thanks.
