1. War Level Awards Increased

More war level awards are paid now and they start when you reach war level 4. more changes and a further increase of these awards will be added in the coming weeks.

2. The Country Newspaper

The country newspaper is improved. It now includes more news about corporations closing including the case when a corporation was owned by an enterprise and not by the country itself.
It also includes news about moving of corporations, both in the country and the enterprise newspapers. These changes will reduce the number of cases when a corporation "disappears". It will be clearer what exactly happened.

The newspaper is now kept for 24 game months, up from 12 game months in the past.

3. Country Score

the country score page is improved and includes more and accurate data on some of the factors in the score.

4. The notification system

the notification system allows you to set automatic notifications for many events that happen in the game, concerning your countries, enterprises and your account. You can request a message, email etc.

New notifications have been added today. You can get a notification when a first bid is made for one of your corporations and another notification when an auction has ended. These notifications can be set at your own convenience.

5. Supplies - Orange link on the corporations pages

The link used to become orange when supplies were reduced to 2 months. This is now changed and the link becomes orange when the supplies are under 3 months.

6. Searching for a country to build or move a corporation.

The Search Country page now allows to also look only for countries with a president. The page also includes a message about the way the search is conducted. The search takes place at random and looks into 300 countries. The results are never complete and if no acceptable results are available, the search can be repeated and will deliver a different selection of countries.

7. Special Clinics and Back to Work pages

The pages are improved and are easier to use. More may be added at a later stage. -> Weapons Document

The document is now available directly from the defense pages where weapons are ordered. The document is up to date, it was always available but it is now easier to find.

In addition, and not mentioned here, the base price of weapons and ammunition declined by 5-10%. Other products also declined in price but by a smaller percentage.

Corporations however are more profitable than before.

Andy, are there any other changes besides Increase in Financial Index and Government Salary Index that happened recently and haven't shown up on the Updates/News?

And if you have looked over the Back to Work Page, why didn't you correct the 'Max number of Housewives that can return' to show the correct numbers and mention that it's not only limited by the 40% CEO Workers but also max 50% of total Housewives?

Changes to the requirements for game levels are small and always include an increase in the defensive index requirements.
These continue to rise and at some point will be phased out, leaving the war level requirement as the only alternative.

There is always some small tuning of parameters that is needed with the continuing decrease in pricing, exchange rates etc.
These include the way market value of corporations is computed, spending limits, base salaries and more. They recently included changes that improved the profitability of corporations in general and more so for corporations that are harder to manage.

This is an ongoing, long term trend that will continue at a very low pace.

Isn't it time we do away with the working housewives feature anyway? Shouldn't it be a level playing ground for everyone?

I second that. Or at least change the terminology to be "stay at home parent" or some other such thing.

Would it be much more complex to let the algorythm work all countries instead of a random 300? It's a bit frustrating hitting the search button again and again while it could be possible, even if it's quite small Chance, that it just looks into the same countries over and over again. I'd think it would also be less Server load to once work a request through all countries instead of having a big number of requests on a small part of it. To reduce the needed load you could even tell it to stop as soon as it would find 10 Fitting results so it doesnt really has to work all countries while making the CEOs life way more happy

A very good question.
The documentation was not updated.

war level awards in gold coins used to start at war level 7, now they start at war level 4.

I will make sure the document is updated with the next update on Feb. 18 or 19.
