- new login page. (let me know what you think)

-Army bases have been removed from the game as they stunk!

- New history drop down list has been added for past set scores.

- remove penalty is now 15% instead of 30%

- Member overview has been added. (members must click on "ok to view my state overview" tab.) After that, go to Foreign Relations page click on members name you want to view.

- Min/Max prices have been adjusted

- Upkeep costs have been lowered.

- consumption has been lowered.

- Successful spy mission no longer appear in enemy news. If you steal someone's cash and you succeed it simply tells them "someone stole X amount of cash or food from them.

- Covert operations has been been removed.

- Techer strat will be down till i can make it a decent strat.

- Loss calc has been adjusted a little..

- Raffle system has been removed

- Savings interest has been removed as well as loans.

- Max Savings is now 100 billion

- You must be part of a nation to be able to use the bank

-Menu names have changed.

- fear/shame factor has been increased from 11.5% to 15%

- Header/overview has a new look. Not 100% done with it, still need to center it with page. hoping to make menu "fixed" which will help in many areas.

- Market tax will be lowered from 30% to 20%

- states can now join or create a nation prior to round starting. No more having to wait till db is unlocked.

- states can now send messages prior to round starting.

- there is a 12hr grace period from the actual end of round till the game is turned off. This grace period will allow you to use your remaining turns.
once 12 hrs hits, there is nothing more i can do.. So use the rest of your turns in this 12hr grace period. And yes markets are open during this time.

- When the round is completely over (after 12hr grace period) states can still log in and look at state scores and nation ranks. The rest of the features will be turned off..
( will stay that way till server is reset and new round begins. the time frame for this all depends on certain changes being made to the game)

- Min land issue has been taken care of. Now the min amount of land you can lose is 20 (will help during wars)


Round will begin on Sunday March 2nd! (maybe tomorrow night if i get the little things done in time.)

and yes, before you say anything, the header is not completely done yet either. Time, next turn and round ends will be filled in shortly.

There is also an extra box in the overview that has ???? i will fill that in as i have an idea for it. (maybe a set or 2 though)

Quick question... will it tell us who stole them if we "Shield" the mission. Because both times I had cash stolen from me this round I had spies on patrol and they "Shielded" the mission meaning they didn't take us much cash from me. So if I have patrols out would I find out who is stealing my cash then? Just wanted to clarify on this, thanks! The changes look good!

No they have to fully fail the mission in order for you to see who it was.

so so we have to create new accounts for next round or will our old accounts work when the game is unlocked?

Mr President
03-01-2008, 14:55
right now each set you have to make new accounts. When i have the global
accounts up and running then you won't need to make new ones each set.

But i'll let you know when that happens :-)

- new login page. (let me know what you think)

I like the concept, but the layout isn't that great.

Nation Wars II, War of Independence, User Name, Password all blend into the background and are very hard to read.

Might want to make it just slightly smaller (width wise) so there isn't a bottom scroll bar that serves no purpose other than to see more black.

Everything under the login picture is offset slightly (or the picture is offset).

Might want to add in other things to the sides of the login picture because just black doesn't look exciting enough.

dont know if its just me but on the main page all i see is the 2 adverts one either side and the writing from "Click Here To Create Account" onwards. cant see the game names or log in or username words, just the boes to type in.

You must be using IE... Everything comes out fine in Firefox. The site is set up to be best viewed by FF..

As for the all time top 10 nations, i just haven't gotten that far yet. I will have them updated soon. :)

At the moment i have to put all the scores in by hand... so it takes some time. But overall i think it is much nicer having a listing on the game instead of having the results posted in the forums each set.

Also, this set we are going to do something different. For the first 2 weeks We are going to keep things how they are and then make small adjustments
(to expenses, income,food consumption only)

So please keep this in mind. Waiting till the set ends is really hard. So i would rather take the 1st couple of sets and do these 2 weeks tweaks lol..
