Implements for December Set

[Rassputtin]

are these changes including any changes to the patriot act or is that a seperate issue / announcement?

really like any info regarding this question if anyone has it?

[Mr President]

The Patriot Act will be a separate issue.

[Mr President]

Can I get a further explanation of sanctions?

Is this restricted to one nation at a time or can a nation declare on multiple nations? (example being and Expander Nation puts sanctions on all other nations to avoid being grabbed.)

Did you mean that sanction Tech was consumed over time and had to be replenished over time? (Hey, that's an idea to make Tercher strat work all set )

Thanks!

Right now Nations are able to declare sanctions against up to 3 other nations at a time. This amount can be changed up or down after further testing has been done.

Sanction tech levels are effected by the same things all the other techs are effect by (land) plus one more thing, declarations of Sanctions. When a nation declares sanctions against another, it reduces sanction tech by 500,000... So it's costly to declare sanctions, which will help keep the abuse down. Nations are not going to want to keep this tech replenished all the time so ppl can abuse it.. But with 2 factors reducing tech levels, it will give a boost to the techer strat.. Cause now even more tech will be purchased, and there will be a greater need to tech all set.. instead of the start. The 500,000 tech points can and will be adjusted after further testing. it's hard finding the sweet spot with only a few testers.. that is why it needs to be implemented to make the final adjustments.

also is there a timeline on how long from the time sanction peace is declared to when you can redeclare sanctions?
it has to last for a minimum of 24 hours but could you theorectically grab people in 1 nation then dec sanctions and wait 36 hours and then undec real fast grab again and re-declare sanctions in say a 10 min span?

Once Sanctions are declared, there is a min of 24hrs before you can end the sanctions.. Or, if either nation declares war, it automatically drops the sanctions between the two warring nations.

Sanctions will be interesting.
Is there a limit on the amount of nations you can sanction with?
Because i could see that getting messy.

you can only place sanctions against 3 nations at a time. This may raise or lower depending on further testing.

[Mr President]

Seeing we are only a day away from the end of the set, i am adding a few of the new implements in now.. Nothing that will have a drastic change. I just need to get ahead a little seeing thursday won't be that productive for me :-)

I have implemented the Recruitment/Seeking nation idea.

There is a new tab on the menu called Recruitment. This will list Nations seeking members and States Seeking Nations.

Any member who is looking for a nation can add his/her name to the list by going into "game preferences" and clicking "add to listing". For those who forget (like me) there is a reminder notice on the home news page reminding you that you are on the list with the link to remove yourself.

The bonus page will be added in about 5 min. You will be able to see the links, but no turns are given out till next set..

More updates will be added tomorrow..

It seems that when you join a nation while you are on the listing, you are not automatically taken off. I think it should be left like this, for there may be states which are currently in a nation but are seeking another one.

Looks good

i think one of the bonus turn links should be directed straight into Portal so that more people visit.

No i made it so it didn't clear out when someone joined or was in a nation. That way ppl can look while still in a nation. This is why i put the reminder notice on the home page, so incase you do join a nation you have something to remind you to remove your name from the list.
