Tuesday, February 1, 2022 - 04:13 pm  Awards Awards for January are now paid in SOL and for winners who did not enter a wallet address, they were paid in gold coins as before. Penalties for award winner will be larger to make it possible for more players to win both SOL and gold coins awards. Orders for Corporations The order tab on the corporation's page now shows only the orders that can be converted into immediate orders. You can use the page to replace orders. It is clearer now and more usable. Sneak Attacks A problem in the sneak attacks is fixed and it now works as expected. 20 Conventional missiles, 300 land based cruise missiles and 300 sea based cruise missiles can now be used in sneak attacks. Thank you for alerting us to the problem. Terms and Conditions We have updated the terms and conditions for Simcountry to include the SOL awards feature and related conditions. In the coming days, when logging in, you will be requested to accept the new terms and conditions. The SOL award provision is the only change in the document. Maintenance of Deactivated Weapons The maintenance cost for deactivated weapons in all countries is declined from 25% of the cost for activated weapons to 15% of that cost. We intend to increase the pace of both the activation process and the deactivation process. Corporations Some types of corporations are now producing a bit more than before. It might help to stop the increase in shortages or even help to reduce them a bit. At the same time, we have made an additional small change in the numbers of workers needed in some types of corporations. This is hopefully the last step. The labor market, especially the problem with HLWs, seems to have subsided for a large part. The cost of Offensive and Strategic Weapons The cost of these weapons is increasing a bit with each of the last upgrades. The cost of ammunition did not change. The trend will continue for some time. Increasing the power of land forces and some other weapons Heavy tanks but also heavy artillery and heavy armored vehicles are becoming more powerful again and harder to destroy. The weapons are also becoming effective, or more effective, against more types of weapons. The details are in the weapons document that describes each weapon separately with all details. Also drones are becoming more destructive than before and might one day be rehabilitated. Many players think the drones are unusable. Check them again. C3 countries defense C3 countries, mainly in the higher levels had sometimes a very strong defense that made wars these countries unwinnable. They remain hard to defeat, but the extreme numbers of interceptor and helicopter wings are reduced. More types of weapons are now available to them in smaller numbers. C3 countries defense is now a bit less dependent on air power while garrisons are more capable. Some C3 countries now have more garrisons. These changes are part of the plan we have published and are aimed at reducing the vast dependency on air power and a shift towards more land forces. The Range of Weapons Some weapons have a very long range which is sometimes exaggerated. The extreme long ranges are now a bit shorter. This is the second update in ranges and by now some weapons lost about 30% of their original range. Also the range of some offensive and strategic weapons is a bit shorter for the same reasons. Jeeps We intend to eliminate defensive jeeps from Simcountry. New units are not using them anymore. The next step will be to reduce the power of jeeps in the war game and in time jeeps will not have any fighting power. We encourage you to eliminate jeeps from your army units and leave them as much as possible in their bases. At some point, we will convert jeeps into other land weapons, not one for one but at a rate the reflects their price. In time, we also intend to eliminate heavy jeeps. We will shortly remove them from any participation in new military units. Cost of Maintenance The cost of maintaining the army tends to decline. The main reason is the decline in the cost of maintenance products, for defensive weapons but also for offensive and strategic weapons. Maintenance corporations produce more for a lower price in an effort to stop the surge of shortages on the market. These corporations remain very profitable and the market is short of all these products.

| Tuesday, February 1, 2022 - 04:46 pm thanks for update Andy, very good direction and changes do make sense. I will review in more details to give feedback if needed. regarding weapons maintenance corporations, they used to be better in profit so i hope that increase in production will compensate reduction of price.

| Wednesday, February 2, 2022 - 06:30 am Hi Andy, it seems this update went wrong, all my listed corporations are doing great loses even with market red. I cannot image how great loses will become when market turns green ten of billions? these corporations now have huge usage of supplies which is between 10-20Bm maybe this can be reduces to 20% or so.

| Wednesday, February 2, 2022 - 01:40 pm I looks like it but it is not. Watch it for a day longer or so and let me know. The maintenance corporations are a bit larger now, buy more raw materials and will sell more products. the immediate jump in cost is also the result of higher cost price for the raw materials that are also more expensive. Many maintenance corporations are short of supplies and total production declined but some are already recovering. The profitability profile is better than before and they should recover soon and have higher profits. This is an unintended result and we were unaware of this possible scenario.

| Thursday, February 3, 2022 - 06:47 pm hi Andy, I still see many of corporations struggling a lot with the current changes. I trust you will find right resolution in this situation. The below examples are with 100% hiring. Navy and Strategic Weapons Maintenance are making great loses even with max production price in the market. It is also scary to see how big are the loses when market price drops. I don't know if this is the expected result..  In general my CEO situation is super bad and it is very hard to see this after investing so much time in building it.
