Changes for the Feb Set:
The round will start 1 day earlier this set due to Feb only having 28 days. So the round will start on Jan 31st and end on Feb 27th (norm rounds go 1st-28th)
-Prepare for War-
Nations must now prepare for war PRIOR to being able to actually declare war.
There is a new section in the embassy section where you are able to select a nation to prepare for.
When you select prepare for war a automatic time is set up depending on the size of the nation you are hitting.
1-10 members - 3hrs
10-20 members- 2hrs
20 + member - 1hr
The bigger the defending nation the less time it takes to prepare. The smaller the nation the longer it takes. I know this is kinda backwords, but we are trying to look out for the smaller nations as a FS from a larger nation can destroy them.
The defending nation receives a notification that you are prepare to war them and tells them when your forces will be war ready.
The attacking nation also received a notification informing the nation that it is preparing for war and tells them when the nation will be war ready.
(it also tells you in the embassy section)
Once the "ready" time has expired you will then be able to declare war.
NOTE: You actually have to declare war AFTER you have prepared for war.
So now going to war is a 2 step process.
You are able to drop the preparations after a certain amount of time.
if you try to declare war before the set (ready) time has expired, it will give you a notification that you are not able to declare war till "blank" time.
-Sanctions-
Cost per state per sanction has been lowered to 20k from 40k.
Sanction tech needed to declare sanctions has been lowered to 145% from 155%.
This should help increase the usage of Sanctions this set.
-Admin Messages-
Members are now able to send a ingame message to the admin by using state #1 in the "to" section. From this set out, anytime an admin needs to converse we will be sending in game messages. If it is a high priority we will still send them via PM in the forums. Please do not send concerns or questions to my state. Please send all quesitons and concerns to State #1 which is the admin account..
Good Luck to everyone this set!!
