That would do it. They don't treat wars differently as far as what you can/can't do between pve/pvp wars, and for obvious reasons the game letting you move your fortifications etc as you please while enemy divisions are rolling across your country would be problematic. I think you just discovered your true issue.
And James, I appreciate the offer but you know the answer. I didn't even bother to move any money or assets into account storage, I straight up wiped a few quadrillion worth of assets and cash from the servers and would need to see significant changes with the game's management to even slightly consider putting in effort to this game again. My account is still paid up and the forum is currently active so I still pop in here and help when I can of course. That test country was made, tested, and immediately deleted.
