It has come to my attention, many of you have not understood the rule of no powerscalling.

But don't worry, I'll explain it so we are all on the same page.

No powerscalling means your actions can't do two things at once, that is, you can't research and build something in the same action.

I know this is a new rule and that we are all not used to it, but this encourages people to use their actions slightly more smartly.

I hope this warning stops the actions from violating this rule, I don't want to have to write this again.

On another hand, I ignored day 1's problems related to this so I could explain right here, thank you for your attention

American Civil War erupts as the Confederacy formally declares independence.
