<LI>Resource objects are scattered randomly around each map (forests, metal ore, stone) and you must now build the appropriate resource building next to the resource item.
<LI>Resource objects can be attacked by troops, releasing small amounts of the resource (much less than mining - Goldmines & Gemponds not yet active).

<B>I'm BACK!!</B><BR>
I've recently discovered that my ISP is going to put in place a 3gb/month limit, of which I am about 3-4x over.
As such, I've had to dedicate the past few weeks to shrinking pages sizes and minimizing bandwidth requirements for the game.
One such method was to develop a new Flash based map interface, which would lower the cost of map refreshes over a full image.
In doing so, this new Flash map also opens the door to many new features and game design issues. For more info please review the NoticeBoard and Forums.

<P>
<B>12/5/2001</B>
<LI>4 new troops type available. Pikemen, Swordsmasters, Arbelestiers and LightCavalry. To get these new troops you need to build the learning centre for that type (Swordsmith, Archers Guild, etc) and when complete Assign the new troop type. You can only build these buildings if you already have a Barracks of that type.
<LI>Changed all the Troop and Building costs. Troops cost more gold, and buildings cost more resources.

<LI>New Transfer Troops screen.
<LI>Can now transfer troops between armies of the same type out on the field.

<P>
<B>2/5/2001</B>
<LI>Updating Online Manual.
<LI>Added a 10% TAX rule to resources. This tax takes off 10% of your current resource storage per cycle. This also imposes a virtual max storage limit so that players dont suddenly end up with 100's of 1000's of resources  which devalues resources and buildings and reduces strategy. There will be a way to improve your tax rates via techs.
<LI>The 10% TAX rule only works if you have 1000+ resource, 4000+ gold. I'll be looking at bringing back the StorageUnits to increase those 2 values.
<LI>Changed the Economy ranking system to be based on your current resources rather than just your resource income. This shows "total" economy not just income.
<LI>Economy now calculated on total Gold value. ie, all your resources are converted to Gold value based on the current market value and then added together.
<LI>Temporarily brought back the old Online WEB Chat page. It seems alot of players are unable to use the IRC version, so I'll have both till I can figure out what to do.

<LI>Made building health bar 1-pixel thicker so its easier to see.
<LI>Fixed remove building code so that more rubble appears for larger buildings, and any armies in the building become visible again.
<LI>Destroying an enemy building also makes rubble appear in according to the size of the building, and make any armies inside visible.
<LI>Destroying an enemy resource building now gives you a percentage of their current resources based on how many of those buildings they have. They also loose resources.<BR>
eg. If you destroy a Farm, and the player had 5, they would lose 1/(5+2) of their food, and you would gain 1/2 of that lost food.

<P>
<B>28/4/2001</B>

<P>
<B>27/4/2001</B>
<LI>Improved movement code. More intelligent/faster path finding algorithm. Can now move multiple armies at once without stacking. Will also find the best path even if it cannot make the destination in one move.
<LI>Added some instructions on the Chat banner frame on how to get a better chat client and log into the WarOnline chat server.
<LI>Fixed Range bonus bug. Now only ranged troops (type5) get a range bonus/penalty when entering buildings.
<P>
<B>26/4/2001</B><BR>
<LI>Fixed TradingMarket page for those with 0 marketplaces.

<P>
<B>20/4/2001</B><BR>
The new system was implemented today and all looks good so far.<BR>
There are still a few things that aren't working yet, like attacking buildings, techs, and some more complex parts of the building and attacking systems. They are on the agenda tho.<BR>
The ownership model is back to the way it used to be (you own what you build regardless of outposts), with the slight difference in that Outpost no longer generate conflicted land.<BR>
Infact, the concept now is that you dont actually OWN the land at all. Outposts simply define the areas of land in which you can build. So outpost areas can overlap, which means both owners can build in the overlap area.<P>
I've also added a Free 50 points worth of buildings when you join any game. This basically means that those 50 points worth of buildings are pre-built(no waiting/building times). They still cost the resources to build tho.

<P>
<B>5/4/2001</B><BR>
I've just worked out the new Terrain system for the new version.
The terrain based maps will now effect income efficiency, movement and to some degree combat itself.
I'm still working on it now, and there's some more info on it in the NoticeBoard forums including a screenshot link.
<P>

<B>27/3/2001</B><BR>
As you may have heard, now that my last contract has ended, I'll be working on the new version of WarOnline.Net. So here is a sneak peak of some of the new features...<BR>
<LI>Level system removed. There are no more building levels. (Still has troop levels tho)
<LI>New Tech system to replace levels. You now buy(research) new technologies to improve certain aspects of your empire, eg income, build times, troop training, new troops, etc... However, you will be limited in how many Techs you can have, so you will need to choose wisely.
<LI>Techs will be purchased on a new screen like the markets, and not as buildings as originally thought.
<LI>AttackPoints, DefendPoints, MovementPoints are all gone and now replaced by ActionPoints which is a percentage. So moving, attacking or defending will use up your ActionPoints which mean you'll have to plan your army strategies a little better.
<LI>A possible army status selection for each army so that you can choose whether your army is in Travelling, Attacking or Defending mode. Of course, whichever mode you are in will have a bonus/penalty on your ActionPoints depending on which action they make.
<LI>New army selection model, so now all armies within range of the destination are selectable not just armies in line of sight.
<LI>New path-finding algorithm used for army movement. This enables you to move your armies around buildings, etc in one move, as the new code finds the fastest way around obstacles.
<LI>Movement in diagonal directions now cost 1.4 movement adding more realism.
<LI>Possible new stored destination method for armies so that you can choose a destination well beyond the armys movement range. Then by clicking a MoveArmies button in the Military page all armies with movement points and a stored destination will be moved using the new path-finding algorithm. Not sure on this one yet.
<LI>Troop training limited to a total troops per cycle. You can also pause certain troop training to allow other troops to train faster.
<LI>New buildings screen which now also shows how many of each buildings are Building, Repairing, etc.
<LI>No more StorageUnits, so there are no maximums for resources.
<LI>New look for the website and some changes for the game window.
<BR>
A few more things, but thats just a taste of things to come... :)
<P>

<B>28/12/2000</B><BR>

<LI>Marketplaces now trade only (Level+1)*2 of each resource per hour. So a LVL1 MP can trade 4, a LVL2 can trade 6, etc...
