PAFF (Planetary Alien Fighting Force) is reporting that shots have been fired between soldiers, in various cities around the world.
This means that the more than 1 month old truce is now over, battles will start again.

Battles will be fought the same way as in the last Event: Let the Battles begin!

The following new features and options have been introduced:

Battle stamina pack:
- refills stamina the same way as normal stamina packs, but only half of its price goes to Game Fund, other half increases Battle fund.
- comes in 3 packs: LQ - 3 stamina; HQ - 5 stamina; TQ - 8 stamina.
- price is in GOLD

Battle Fight bonus Fund:
- President can set a one-time amount in national currency to be paid to the soldiers for hitting the walls

Motivation bonus:
- Players who motivate a battle can get up to 50% damage bonus
- Soldiers who fight in a motivated battle also get damage bonus
- Formula: Battle damage = normal damage*((100+(SMQ/BF)*50+(((MQ-SMQ)/BF)*5)))/100)
(MQ: Motivation Quantity SMQ: Self motivation quantity BF: Base Fund)

PvP and Defense ranks:
- When enemy soldiers arrive to a square, the wall can't be hit anymore - enemy needs to be defeated in a Player vs. Player fight
- PvP is the same as in the Arena
- Damage defended in the battle PvPs are added and counted to the soldiers' Defense rank

View foreign battles:
- Foreign battles can now be viewed and enjoyed without traveling there: just select one from the list and refresh the Map

Automatic battle prolongation:
- Battles are automatically prolonged if at the end of the 24 hours one side doesn't have at least 60 squares

PvP decline penalty:
- Soldiers who decline a PvP invitation (or time out) will have 10 minute penalty until they can go back to Battlefield

Leave Battlefield penalty:
- Soldiers who leave the Battlefield will have 10 minute penalty until they can go back

Traveling to an occupied square:
- In case a square is conquered and it has no neighboring squares, the soldier will be sent back to DMZ

Double PD and MD:
- Armor PD has been doubled
- Equipment MD has been doubled

Movement:
- Neighboring squares are from now on: up, down, left, right

PvP invitation time:
- Players invited to PvP have 20 seconds to accept

PvP hit start time:
- Game now waits for the countdown of both players, only then can they push the hit button

Map location:
- Player avatar is only displayed on a square if player has arrived

PAFF will reward the winning countries with 1 GOLD for every active player of the defeated country.

The event was very good, seems that wars will be fun and addictive.

But the pvp fights are dificult to start because when a fighter is moving he is "invisible", you can only see where he start his movement but not where it goes or where it is. http://youtu.be/PKFkGoFqO5w

Also in PvP fights, I think it could have some uncertainess, with some luck factor, for example like in practice pierce points if you have a probability (acording to some attribute) of miss your shoot. And maybe a new attack mode option "shoot covered", which increase the missing probability for players but decreases the damage too. Or maybe more diferent attack types with some vulnerabilites between each other like a "rock-paper-scissors" system, for example "accurate fire", "rapid fire" and "closed fire".

For avoiding that the last half hour is so important in battle, a player killed 10 times could be "captured" with some % probability, and he will not be able to participate more in current battle until the 2 sides of war decide exchange prisioners.

Would be good too for increase strategy options, that in some points of battle field would be a flag that increase damage of the controlling side. And another "comunications point" or "bridge point" that increase the players speed movement of squares, for example.
