So is it too late to donate to flags so that I can get the superstar award?

Bug still persists...
I was upgrading from 1400 infra to 1500 infra.
It should have costed me $1,237,936 as indicated by the 'Calculated Cost', but actually costed $1,375,485.

This update was EXACTLY what I had in minds for the past couple months. Alex nailed it. THANK YOU.
I had 2 ideas:
1) City Templates so we don't have to click millions of times to switch from econ mode to war mode
2) Cost feature that tells how much it will cost to switch a given city over to the update
...and Alex nailed them both. Kudos!
This game has just had a HUGE step up in quality of life.

I'm kind of in limbo here - I'm not sure what to do. Changing from Google to a different captcha would likely inconvenience everyone else that plays the game, because they would no longer be the easy point and click captchas, they would require typing in funny letters and numbers, etc.
I'll try and brainstorm a solution, in the meantime, I apologize for the inconvenience.
I gotcha. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
I just wanted to make this issue 'official' by putting here in the tech support forums for future consideration when designing verification methods. Hopefully a solution will present itself that provides the best of both worlds.

Stigma on chinese is real. I think Sheepy supports Donald Trump... Secretly...
Anyway, try Firefox? Or Waterfox? Both are good browser and works like charm. They also hardly get infect with viruses and they functions almost like google chrome with add-ons.
I've tried IE 11, the latest version of Firefox, and Chrome. The verification module cannot load regardless of the browser used.
Interesting predicament, I was unaware they were that strict in China. I presume using some sort of proxy is not an option?
A proxy is a very inconvenient option. Beijing is cracking down on proxies too now, and are getting very good at blocking them as well. There are only certain 'windows' of time during the day that a proxy works (very early in the morning China time). During the evening, proxies/VPNs are so slow they cannot even connect most of the time---including paid VPNs such as ExpressVPN.
The bottom line is that proxies only provide the minimum needed to play the game, but at a huge inconvenience. If proxies/VPNs weren't available, then P&W wouldn't be playable at all, at least concerning trade/markets which I consider an essential component.

This isn't necessarily a bug per say but a very huge inconvenience if one is living in China and trying to enjoy Politics & War:
When I go to the market in-game to buy coal, and get 'randomly' selected to 'verify' my identify as a human, I get re-directed to the 'Unlock Trading Ability' verification page:
https://politicsandwar.com/nation/trade/unlock/
Okay fine. It's good to verify oneself as a human, but here is the problem: the verification active content thingy embedded in the webpage is from GOOGLE. Google and everything affiliated with Google is blocked in China:
google.com
google-analytics.com
When I get to the verification page, the embedded verification object thing never loads. Ever. It can't, which means I'm not permitted to buy anything from the market until I complete the verification. Hence, every time I need to buy resources off the market, it's often a catastrophic inconvenience because I need to buy goods while they're cheap, between blockades during a war, or I'm reaching my minimum and need to top up before I run out and pay my steel mill workers overtime to do nothing.
Can we just switch the verification object to something NOT Google affiliated? Thaaaaaaaaaaaat be great.

I'm also experiencing my military buy back not resetting. Just noticed it today when game time crossed over from 11:59pm to 12am. It's now almost 4pm game time and my military buy back still hasn't reset.

I have the same problem. On August 27th I had close to 250 uranium, but now I only have 176 uranium. Also have about half the gas I should have on August 27th.
Sheepy isn't finished with the server transfer. Once he finishes that everything may get corrected.

That leak was...insightful. Very insightful.

I *hate* pages that unpredictably move around. I move my cursor with muscle memory when navigating around my nation's pages. When ads suddenly pop up and shift everything around, I end up clicking on stuff I didn't want to. It really pisses me off cause of the added step and wait of navigating back and trying again.

Cheers for peace! There were none more anxious for it than myself. My cities having been reduced by 60% infrastructure, and easily $60 million in damage to my nation. A very costly, long, and damaging war indeed.
I cannot speak for all of Guardian, but I assume it's fair to say we accept responsibility for our actions, and are thankful for the generous surrender terms you have offered us.
I hope that Guardian and VE can have a brighter future. Why we didn't in the first place baffles me. Guardian and Prefontaine were a strong ally with the now non-existant alliance Ignis Imortales. If I recall correctly, Ignis Imortales merged into VE (or something along those lines), and so I would have thought our two alliances would have been friends from the start simply by that association.
In any case, I look forward to a new beginning.

FFS. This thread is nonsense. A POW AA is made in every war ever. Yes, it is for deserters. If you're not a deserter then don't desert. Plain and simple. This !@#$ is getting worse than congress.
I will echo my fellow alliance nation. I will point out that the POW headed by VE still has only a single member in it. We at Guardian upheld our unity, and came to the consensus that we should accept the offer of peace in exchange for reparations. Although generous, we will have none of those individual surrender terms.

I'll be watching what happens...

When I saw this I was thinking "Oh neat, they'll let individual nations truce out, and if they stay out they won't get hit again." But actually it's a move to try to destroy Guardian and SK from within. Starting to get real!
And that is where the loyalty of Guardian's members will be put to the test.
Great terms. I suggest all Guardian members strongly consider taking these.
Or not. They are generous terms for nations to accept on an individual basis. But as Avruch mentioned above, the underlying consequence is permenant alliance fracture from within. Something that you, Estelle, would love to see...but will not.
No, by offering individual nations a way out individuals who disagree with the actions of their alliance can avoid further bleeding for them.
If these member nations disagree with our actions, then they wouldn't have joined in the first place. They joined for an identity, not a leader. If a leader fails to uphold the ideals, he is removed and replaced.

Bump. Problem still exists.

Tried that. Still no functionality.

Hey Sheepy,
I noticed you added some new sublinks under the "Military" link on the left pane. However the "Naval Ships" link is broken. The associated URL is .../military/ships/ when it should be .../military/navy/

PS - IE Explorer is crap. It doesn't let me copy/paste into this message field.

We need more proof, EoS.
-
You were right. It has come.
-
Preach it!
-
I'll take things as they come. But no doubt it seems history is repeating itself. Gzzz...when a certain unnamed alliance has secured a bloc of 4 mutual defense treaties, three of which alliances are #2, #3, and #4, it creates a an intimidating front.
-
Why so many hedge treaties, EoS?
So in summary, the Empire of Spades (currently ranked #2) has mutual defense treaties with...
- Dutch East India Company (#3)
- United Purple Nations (#4)
- Socialist International (#9)
- Brotherhood of Clouds (#14)
- Any others I'm unaware of?
In my observation, that's quite the 'tank' bloc.
