A feature I really wish they’d add to this game, is the ability to declare war on other nations through a game feature. It would be interesting seeing the effects of that on the economy, population, etc.

Good lord. I think TWP Guardians would be the target of more war declarations than the rest of the site put together.

Though if you're just after bloodshed, have I got a deal for you.

I disagree. The game is just fine the way it is now.

About the millionth time I’ve seen that or similar statements during my time in this game. Never going to happen.

Why is that? Is it because of the work it'll take or something about war that fundamentally disagrees with the vision of the game? I reckon, it could work like challenges but better.

It’s a web browser game over 20 years old that is a political simulator, not a war simulator. So both is the answer to your question.

The creator of this game has explicitly said that there would never be a war feature/game mechanic.

#haikusday

First snow of winter
A light dusting on the ground.
Traffic grinds to halt.

Good Morning Westies
I bid you all a good day
For some, afternoon

I've been a bit off
As life has gotten busy
Specially at work

*hug*

The cold time has begun,
Sneezes and runny noses,
Oh how I love winter

Sorry for intruding into your literary adventures, but have the formatting rules for a table changed? I'm trying to make one and NS is rejecting everything I throw at it

Yes they do! One happened in late September and they happen every 6 months so the next one would be around March.

If I had to guess, prolly because sometimes war means nations being destroyed and no one wants to be mad about their 7mil nation being nuked by a 10bil.

I already feel bad enough for those nations who have like 10 mil and someone who’s played for 10 years just destroys any chance of them having a good win % in the challenges by spamming it 50 times on them.
