War Policy

Overview

A War Policy is an emphasis in a particular military area by your nation. Each War Policy provides a different benefit to your military. There are 10 different options which, used correctly, can be powerful tools for your wars.

Depending on your DEFCON level and nation/army structure (as well as this of your opponents) you should change your War Policy. You can change your War Policy at the "Edit" page under the "Nation" heading. You can only do this once every 60 turns (5 days), so be careful.
