Round 8 has started. Changes in this round include random factor for attack/defence strength reduced from 35% to 25%, and spy from 20% to 15%. Also, the vacation mode feature was being worked on but was unable to finish. The button works but doesn't activate or deactivate any mode so its safe to play with until finished ;).

The end of this round has been delayed. It was scheduled for Nov 15th, but will now end Nov 22nd to give Oser time to complete changes for the next round. From the 22nd to the 30th we will have a quick "lightning-esque" round where we test out the new code changes and balance issues related to the new spy and sabotage features. The full length round will then start on Dec 1 and is expected to last until January 15th. Thank you for playing OilFight, I will keep you updated whenever possible.

We are testing a new "oil burn" feature to reduce people "selling off" accounts to other players. Normally, players should not notice a difference. However, if you attack a player with an obscene amount of oil built up, some of the oil may burn and explode killing some players on both sides. Depending on the severity of the burn, 1/3rd or 2/3rd of the oil may burn and become useless. Please send any feedback to funkywizard in game.

The official length of this round will be 45 days ending Sept 15th. I changed the link system so you can now click more than one link per time period, but only the same link once per 12 hours. For this reason, click bonuses have been put back to their regular values.
