Battle orders have now a rank

Orders were a flat list where nobody could tell which battle actually mattered. Your country and your military unit now number their orders, and everyone sees that number.

• Every order gets a number: #1 is the battle your government (or your commanders) wants fought first, #2 next, and so on. Country orders and MU orders are numbered separately, so both lists start at 1.

• Managers reorder by dragging: governments with the set orders permission and MU owners/commanders can drag the rows and save the whole new order in one click. The numbering is display only, it does not change the damage bonus or the paper cost, those still come from the priority level.

• New Orders page: a new page listing every order that applies to you, your country's and your unit's, reachable from a button in the active-orders bar at the bottom of the screen. The same list is now on your government page and on your MU page.

• The battle list follows the ranking: in the Orders section of the battle list, battles come out in the order your country/MU ranked them instead of oldest first.

• The number is shown everywhere an order appears: battle tags, order lists, and the order form.

• Placing a new order in the ranking: when writing an order you can now choose where it lands, instead of always going to the bottom.

• Editing an existing order is now offered directly in the battle's order menu (Edit country order / Edit MU order). Before, the entry was greyed out once an order existed, and trying to set one when your order was on the other side simply failed.

• Removing an order, or a battle ending, no longer leaves a hole in the numbering (1, 2, 4). The list is renumbered automatically.

• A list holds up to 99 ranked orders.

New sign-up screen

The home page you land on when logged out has been rebuilt.

• Pick your country before signing up: the country selector is on the landing screen, prefilled from your location, and the country's welcome article is shown right there.

• The country you pick is the one your account is created with. You are also put into your country's chat from the very start, instead of only after finishing the welcome modal.

Article editor: images and colors

• Paste or drag an image straight into an article. It uploads on the spot and appears where you dropped it, with a preview while it uploads. Up to 10MB, oversized images are downscaled, and animated GIFs stay animated.

  

• Text color picker in the toolbar, with the full game palette and a Default color entry to clear it.

• Article categories got icons and colors instead of all being grey tags, and there is a new Giveaway category.
  

Military rank badge

• The military rank panel is replaced by a circular rank badge showing your progress toward the next rank, with the rank name and the damage needed on hover.

• It now appears next to your avatar in the equipment bar, in the user tooltip and on the profile page. The old panel is gone from the battle page, where it was just taking space.

Other changes

• Fixed: paginated lists could return empty pages. Loading more on a list sorted by an optional field (companies moved to top, auctions, and others) could return nothing at all and hide the rest of the list, or skip and repeat rows. The pagination was rewritten.

• The loot summary on a battle page is restyled with your own color and given more room.
