Increased the level cap of Factions to 11. There are no reward cards yet, those and another increased level cap will be added in an update at a later time.

1.7.62
July 30, 2011
This update just included various bug fixes and optimization updates, nothing really significant.
Factions now have Infamy. Factions start with 0 Infamy and gain it by declaring war on Factions that are already in Defensive Wars.
Factions lose Infamy at the rate of 1 every 24 hours.
Factions cannot declare war on another Faction that has less Infamy than them (A Faction with 5 Infamy cannot declare war on any Faction with 4 or less Infamy).
None of this above affects wars current as of the update, only new ones.
Factions level 6 and higher now have an increased Range in the Find Rivals list. Levels 6 and 7 are able to declare war on any Faction 1 level under them and 2 levels above them. Factions with level 8 and higher will be able to declare war on any faction 2 levels either under or above them.
Factions that hit another Faction multiple times in a row or within a short period of time will not gain as much FP for a win and the Faction getting attacked will not lose as much FP for a loss. (This will affect current wars - if your faction is hitting the same faction for at least the 2nd time in a short period you will receive less points than normal for a win).
There is now a minimum damage requirement in order for the Faction to gain the full amount of Faction Points upon victory. It is currently calculated at 50 damage times the member cap of that faction so a faction with a cap of 50 has to do 2500 to get the full FP gain in a war. Factions that win a war but do not hit the damage req will still get some FP just not the full amount.
Tiers added on the lower end for rewarding damage in Raids (for example getting 405 damage will unlock the 400 honor reward rather than the 250)
1.7.32

4 New Raids each with their own exclusive new skills and strategies

The points lost by losing a faction war will be reduced slightly
Win/Loss ratio will be displayed for faction war members
Note: Win/Loss ratio includes both offensive and defensive wins.
Quitting a Faction Battle will always result in a surrender
The developers were expecting the following secondary effects that they saw as being very positive for the community:
Defense will not be a largely "lost cause"
Auto-play will be greatly reduced in effectiveness
This will refocus balance towards strategic battles rather than "stamina dumps"
Improvements were implemented to speed up the loading of the Factions page, especially for factions with a long history of wars and news
March 7, 2011
A bug that allowed users to reuse cards multiple times was fixed. These cards were 'ghosted', not quite 'duplicated', so the correct number of cards has been restored.
The Faction News now loads much more quickly and takes far less computer resources to load.
A handful of minor bugs have been fixed.
"Offers" were added as another way to earn War Bonds
Sharpshooter didn't get as much attention as it deserved during initial testing and the resultant form was a little too powerful. So after further testing the following change was made:
Sharpshooter health changed from 6 to 5.
Some assorted bug fixes, including Faction Wars sometimes being recorded more than once.

Faction level cap increased to 10 and have added new cards to the rewards page

The Faction Rival list will now display a wider range of rivals.
November 30, 2010

Improved error logging to help identify recurring problems some users are facing.
November 2, 2010
A fix implemented that should help fix some of the mission errors.
Free Energy Refills were given to make up for the problems.

Fixed "My Profile"
Fixed Replays
Arena rating now offers a diminishing returns on Combat Rating, for 2 hours. First hit is 100% of your rewarded CR, 2nd is 80%, 3rd is 60%, 4th is 40%, 5th is 20%, and any hit afterwards is worth 0 (until the two hours). This is meant to encourage battling multiple players and to combat collusion in the Arena.
Arena rating is now capped at 5000 until new brackets open up.
Fixed some cases of the FacebookRestErrorPost by application developer.
