Active Nation Selection

Active Nation Selection
Before testing, please read the devlog about this new feature.

In this version, the active nation select feature has the following known issues.

• Clicking cancel while on the character creation screen when you have no other characters of that nation sends you back to the server select screen.

Some things you should know about testing this feature:

• Currently Testbed is configured to allow nation switching similar to what the live servers will have. You will only be able to change nations during the cease fire period. We've temporarily set the time you can switch to 12 hours after the map win. We will eventually remove this restriction from Testbed again.
• We'll be forcing a few map wins (watch for TB event announcements!) to test the cease fire period. We encourage you to log in during those times and ensure that you can switch nations.
• During the switching-allowed period, try combinations of switching sides, filling your character lists with new characters and deleting characters. Let us know if anything you see in that process doesn't feel right.

Do you stay in your societies when you switch nations and if, is there a way for the remaining society members to see that certain characters are not playable due to the switch?

Nothing about your society membership changes when you play another side for a while. Your society members won't know what your active side is unless you tell them.

Or if they notice you trying to take their port or ship. They'd probably figure it out at that point.

You need to know their character names first.

I've just updated the top post here to reflect Testbed's current configuration.
