I hope everyone is well post new year. I'd like to announce changes coming to the game, with a targeted release date of the end of February, 2022. Content largely comes from previous threads like this one. Lets get into it.

1. Expanded Rolls for Alliance Leadership
   • This will allow alliances to have several different ranks and more customization with permission sets for leadership in their alliance.
   • The testing is just about finished on this, if you want more information I believe it's still live on the test server.
2. Treasure Trading
   • Treasures will now be tradable through a direct trade offer.
   • Some stipulations include:
     • Nations being unable to trade for a treasure if they already have one.
     • Treasures cannot be traded while an active war is in place
   • Some notifications to prevent exploiting new players that get a treasure will also be included.
3. City impact on score is being reduced from 100 -> 75 for any city beyond the first.
4. Credit purchasing caps are being increased from 10 -> 20 per month
5. Three new Projects are being released and their info is as follows:

Government Support Agency

• Improves Domestic Policy Effect by 50% (5% -> 7.5%) (1% -> 1.5% for open markets)
• Costs $20,000,000 - 200,000 Food - 10,000 Aluminun

Research and Development Center

• This project provides two project slots (net: one additional project slot)
• Costs $50,000,000 - 100,000 Food - 5,000 Aluminum - 1,000 Uranium

Resource Production Center

• Every Turn the nation gets 1 raw resource for each raw resource they can mine besides food (based on a chart found Here) This bonus increases for every 2 cities they have up to 10. This Project no longer functions above 15 cities. 
• Costs $500,000 - 1,000 Food

 

Some notes about the last one one, how the breakdown works:

1-2 Cities : 1 Raw Resource(s) Per Type
3-4 Cities : 2 Raw Resource(s) Per Type
5-6 Cities : 3 Raw Resource(s) Per Type
7-8 Cities : 4 Raw Resource(s) Per Type
9-10 Cities : 5 Raw Resource(s) Per Type (maxes at 180 raw resources per day)

• This project should not be able to be purchased by anyone with 16 or more cities
• If a player has this project and buys their 16th city they should receive a notification stating “Your Resource Production Center Project has stopped functioning. It is recommended you destroy the project and replace it with a more useful one.”

That’s not horsecock tho. You can’t blame him for something someone else said. 

Are you dense? The Echo Chambers must be real, how ironic, calling another alliance toxic and having your own HIGHGOV do what you CRITICIZED T$ FOR.

Both they and your FA leader's public announcements make use of the full arsenal of all the most toxic

Don't be toxic but loud and proud racism & OOC Attacks to someone who is Turkish irl? Give me a fcking break.

I know that many people don't share this mentality, and that some major alliances enjoy a playstyle more focussed on public grandstanding, finger-pointing and moralising, especially in times of war. I respect that, and I don't want to discourage it in general. In fact, these things do add spice to the political landscape and can make the game more interesting. A good number of alliances do also try to take political advantage in order to dogpile, instead of relying on ingame skill. But you, t$, take it way too far these days. The only other major alliance in my PnW history to act in a comparable manner was NPO, and I would've thought the overwhelming community opinion on NPO would be a useful pointer for shaping your own behaviour. It came as no surprise to me that, when I made a throwaway comment during the last global war about the surprising lack of political drama from either side - a comment responding to TKR and not mentioning any spheres or alliances - the only one who even noticed and got salty was a t$ gov member.

And... we've hit Godwin's NPO Law

[[RoH] No Rest Today]

The blood is still drying, spilled by the forces of the Divine Phoenix fending off a mob of deranged and maniacal space pirates, but The Phoenix once again cries out. There will be no rest today, for The Phoenix calls for blood.

The stench of what can only be the bloated, ageing, and long-beyond-rotting corpses of whales reaches our nostrils. The smell is putrid but familiar: we've clashed with this group before. While we cannot avoid the feeling of hate in our noses, we feel no hate in our hearts. Yet, The Phoenix calls for blood.

Long and winding tendrils of treachery and exploited opportunity weave their way through time, disappearing and reappearing through long ago forgotten fogs of war, over and over again, only to once again arrive at our gates.

The Phoenix calls for blood. With honour, we answer.

[TL;DR] The Divine Phoenix recognizes a state of hostilities with Hollywood.

Does commerce really increase your tax? Can someone explain pls?

no, only your policies affect your tax, but they inversely affect average income, meaning policies are purely cosmetic.

Congrats to all alliances involved, and wherever you may end up TCW.
