Cool beans. Thanks Sheppy.

Yeah I have fortress and I was hit with ground attacks by the same guy 5 times. 3 times right before update, and twice right after. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=1038745

I have Chrome notifications enabled on my phone for quick response to in game messages and war declarations. I simultaneously received a notification and an email, both indicating that I had received an in game message from nation I previously blocked for spam. I can't actually view the new message because the sender is blocked. Can the emails and notifications check against the block list before alerting a user?

The lines should be more elastic. I want chaos when I drag an alliance with several connections far away and let go.

I can dig that. I felt bad for anyone who thought they were netting a profit selling at 6 mil just before update.

There are no credit sell offers on the market right now. Did you at least delete all of the credit offers before changing the price, or did some people just get absolutely screwed?

Does the casualty penalty the opponent takes stack when multiple Fortifies are used? edit: nvm was answered above. He said in another thread that you remain "fortified" and the opponent receives the 10% penalty until you launch an attack against them. So if you never attack, the penalty remains.

I can't say I'm surprised. They were not my favorite treaty partners way back when. Of course they would launch an offensive with no CB just before Sheepy is supposed to freeze all war declarations. If anyone intends to get in on this ridiculousness, they better do so soon, before Sheepy locks it all down. Why announce an approximate time when you planned to freeze war decs anyway? Of course it would exploited, ya dummy.

How long will "fortify" protection last? Will there be any changes to bank looting?

Your PPU updater is very nice. So simple, yet it never occurred to me to automate the one part of the trading process I'm most likely to screw up. Thank you!

Why force votes in every category? I've never been contacted by a recruiter in any of those alliances, I couldn't name a single propo that I actually noticed, and I rarely venture far from my alliance's own forums (because they're so siiick!) Don't force me to make uninformed votes!

Updated with fresh links to our shiny, new IPB 4 forum. It's pretty slick. you should check it out. And register. And apply to join us! http://7kingdoms.net/pw/

I had 2 wars that were ended by nukes from the losing side. Was that intentional? Should a nuke zero out an opponents resistance? What would stop a nation from using exclusively nukes to ward off attackers? With the reduced ground attack loot, one could suffer minimal loses if they had zero military and a nuke stockpile. I think it could be a nifty system when fully fleshed out, but I'm not sure how well a change on this scale to the war system would be received if implemented in the main game. I do like the visual it adds to wars. It would be cool to see resistance levels next to each war when viewing a nation's or alliance's war activity page. It might be time for a Test Server subforum.

Gravedigging this ancient suggestion because it needs to happen. Every alliance that wants to be relevant has a Discord channel now.

What's a reparation?

This war shows an imbalance in the combat system. Tanks and soldiers can be targeted by other ground forces and planes, ships can be targeted by ships and planes, but only planes can target other planes. Kudos to tS for successfully exploiting it, but looking ahead, I think that planes need to be made a bit more vulnerable. Maybe ships could target planes? Or missiles could be used to target specific military improvement types? Many have ditched missiles for better projects, so that would make them more valuable. Ideally, a well-rounded military should be the most effective in a war. Each unit should have weaknesses that are covered by other unit types.

I don't hate this idea, but I'd prefer if it were limited to Officers+

Could it be made to purchase infra for us? The bulk infra purchasing saves a ton of time, but my nanoseconds are valuable. Or could it be made to automagically save templates from all our cities and store others we import, allowing us to select a template from a drop down menu? I love the ability to quickly switch to a wartime template, but copying and pasting lots of text would be cumbersome if world war 7 (8?) breaks out and I'm stuck on mobile. (Really great update, btw. I'm just seeding ideas)

All it needs is some arrows on either side of the city name so I can view the next city without going back to the main list.

I still don't understand the worship of that cartoon guy.

Who the !@#$ is Dio Brando? I thought you people worshiped the one and only true God, Ronnie James Dio. This whole time it was some cartoon guy?

Or, alliance leaders could stop being inept when setting permissions. Not that bank robberies are really a widespread problem, but Sheepy could make another tutorial video explaining alliance management and why it might not be a good idea to have have 20 officers with bank access.

It needs an arrow connecting DEIC to SK.

If he insists on monetizing the game, then it needs to be his top priority. People have paid him to make this game work, so this is his job now.

It appears that Clarke is trying to undo the good things that Mortimer did. Not to pointlessly speculate too much, but maybe they had some personal disagreement and Clarke views the things that Mortimer accomplished as an affront. (For those out of the loop, Clarke ran VoC/DEIC a long time ago under the name Emily Thorne, and they were more or less loathed by everyone. When Mortimer took charge, he worked his butt off to improve their image and make useful friends. Mort suspiciously vanished a few months ago, and Clarke was put at the helm again.) What's most astounding to me is how the long time members of DEIC are letting Clarke do whatever he wants and tarnish the solid reputation that Mort had built up. I really hope that any new nations considering membership with DEIC follow this matter closely and consider whether or not they want to be a part of such a spineless group. Totes still a girl, not just roleplaying as one. (I even checked to make sure)
