Much thanks to Shadowmaster for his updates and what not these past couple months.

Donation Subscriptions: Active subscriptions from this month have been processed. I realize that there are many that are behind. Make sure you have ONE and only ONE recent ticket open about your subscription with "DP" in the subject and I will get to it as soon as I can (this week).

Kicked the training program back into action after an error and you should see all the results from any battles/training you've had or done.

Arena sim reported as down but appears to be working ok to me. Please report further problems.

Fixed a long standing but overlooked error with heat sinks being partially repaired.

Where to even begin? With todays changes I suppose. First, ideal range for AI units may now be set anywhere from 0 to 100 hexes.

Any AI unit with an ideal range of 30+ hexes may not be controlled by battleplayers. This helps address the problem of enemies controlling defending "speed bump" units and moving them toward the attacker.

Default battle player scores are now 10 * empire level. That is, a level 10 empire can by default command 100 BV worth of units in another empire's battle as a battleplayer. You'll notice, of course, that level 0 empires can't command anything, which keeps people from creating junk empires just to screw up fights as battleplayers.

There is a new world map page. It looks better, but is functionally very similar.

I don't think I'll even try to catch up all the days that weren't recorded here. The only 3 highlights worth mentioning are that you cannot attack a level 0 empire

You cannot declare war upon an empire of lower level than yourself

The exception to the above, is that once you hit level 10 anyone may declare war on you. Meaning a level 11+ can declare on a 10+ even though they are of lower level.

Added a new Collect Money option to the Finance page that will allow emperors to collect all money from all unclaimed people in your empire and put it back your empire funds.

A new Transfer History page is up on the Finance page. It is only accessible to the emperor of the empire.

A simpler way of understanding our money transfer policy is that only 1 money transfer is allowed to 1 player in 3 real life days, regardless of how many empires that each of you control or how they are related to each other.

Level 0 empires are now unable to participate in land war. They can neither attack nor be attacked until level 1.

Severe overhaul to the game has resulted in extremely decreased lag for all. All scheduled updates (training, day changes, etc..) should all work now, and with an efficiency that Neveron has never seen. Note that it may not seem much faster than a few weeks ago as we have many more people playing now.

A new mail feature!! Weeeeee! You may now send mail to all empires with whom you have a Diplomatic Relations treaty or better at the same time with no charge. You will see it listed in the mail options on the Comms page.

Unclaiming will now work for everyone (hopefully) though the unclaim doesnt look like a link anymore.

5/17/02

To enter a battle already underway, simply click the word stating that person's location on the Empires page. That word is now a link.

Fixed a bug where the battle screen was only opening in the main empire frame.

Fixed a bug where claiming units from the Units page wasn't working.

The immediate threat of wild fire to Prescott has diminished but evacuations are still taking place. 800 firefighters, 4 bombers, and 3-5 helicopters are currently working on preventing the fire from eating Prescott whole. Read about it at: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0516fire16.html (note that this story is a bit innacurate but your will get the idea)

Fixed a bug where infantry were being hit by physical attacks as if they were prone.

Infantry will now do damage in 5 point groups against 'mechs similar to LRMs. This will mean they have a slightly increased chance of getting critical hits but they will do less damage to a single area.

Unit readout pages now have a anew feature that allows players to set the Ideal Range of each unit. Ideal range is a number that the AI uses to determine how a unit should react in battle... whether to charge or stay far away. Note that the AI is still not working at 100%, so this feature will not work properly until it is.

New hard drive installed on LW server. Warriors now have nearly unlimited disk space to create terrain. War away...

Resurrected people now come back with $0.

To prevent people from losing money to timeouts, you may now only hire 112 new soldiers at a time. This will also cut down on deadlock and other performance issues for other players.

You can now create terrain in any zone, not only zones you are adjacent to. This will speed up large scale attacks, since while you're fighting in one zone, in another browser instance you can be generating terrain for your next attack.

You can now unclaim terrain, if it is more than 5 zones away from a city. While this may seem a foolish thing to do (making it easier for enemies to approach your cities undetected and unchallenged) it will help reduce the cost of maintain a large amount of land because ...

Land administration costs will be going up soon. Probably as soon as tomorrow, the land administration costs will approximately triple, to $150 nevdollars per zone per nevday. This will be up from $55 currently. This combination (unclaiming + increased costs) will probably cause some of larger empires to unclaim a lot of land, thus freeing up space for newer players as well as making them more vulnerable to attacks. Fighting your way through 100 empty zones is tedious (if not impossible), but perhaps in the future people will have smaller empires, easier to both attack and defend.

Welcome to all our new players! Neveron is currently experiencing growing pains and we are shifting efforts from bug fixing to performance improvement. New equipment os being ordered and slow code is being uprgraded/eliminated. Please stick with us while we continue to improve this terrific game.

The AI code is currently being rewritten to eliminate past performance issues. The current AI is working much more efficiently in how it affects the servers, but does not have the ability to control all the units in the game all the time. This means that the AI will only work sporadically, but as a trade off large battles are much more playable and server death much MUCH less common. Future AI improvements will enhance the AI beyond its current limited capabilities.

Please note that the Rules page and the bug policy have been slightly updated. One rule was somehow deleted that appears as follows:
"You may not send a single empire money from multiple empires that you control, or funnel money through other empires. Transactions that send money from multiple (more than 1) empire that you control to any other empire is illegal, and is an attempt to circumvent the transaction limits. These transactions will be denied and in cases of repeated attempts, players will be punished. "

Added a new tab on the Alliances page to acces the Neveron Alliances Directory. Register and advertise your alliance there to connect with other players and research other alliances.

Big change for small empires! Due to the increase in large arenas, the NGC has reached record popularity throughout the galaxy, bringing in more money than ever before. This is turn will now be spread amongst the fledgling empires of Neveron in the form of an increased subsidy. The small empire subsidy has been increased by $50,000 per NevDay. Any empire with under $300,000 per day income (up from $200,000) will now receive subsidy benefits. To check your subsidy income, view the Land page in the Land and Buildings tab.

Mail messages will now only stick around for 3 NevMonths (approximately 9 real days). Any mail older than that will be deleted.

BV has been adjusted on mechs with piloting skills lower than gunnery skills

Prizes have been awarded for the top 10 dueling empires, in the form of morale boosts for their empires. The civilians love to be part of a famous empire! Additionally, $100,000,000 was awarded to the empire Major League for having the lowest point total of all empires!

Check out the new Neveron Alliances Directory created by a fellow Neveron player. There is a link to it on the Alliances page.
