Alright, a few points about this latest update, and the coming war:

-Stats have changed slightly. Nations now have a "Resource Level" stat. This shows the amount of agriculture, trade, mining, etc, that the nation is exploiting. It provides less income than industry, and takes longer to get up a level, but big jumps can be made through colonisation.

-As we go into this war, remember the rules, especially rules 1, 4, and 5.

-All peace settlements must be ok'ed by me first.

-I don't have a map for the latest update yet, Working on it.

-Since I want this game to continue after this war, whichever alliance is victorious, I will be taking steps to ensure it does not dominate post-war politics completely.
