Well, I think Border walls are quite good. Although they descreas your citezen count by 2%, you gain 2 Pop happiness, and 1 enviroment, so thats more happiness there. If you bought 5 at them after you had every last improvement up to 5, then you would have alot of happiness and a great enviroment!

[Lord Sharpe]

I only bought 2, because my Enviroment is as low as possible (1.00), and any further would not help the enviroment, thus weakening them.

Not saying you're wrong or anything, but improvements like that arent nearly as important as banks or stadiums.

[Veritas]

Yes you are correct in most cases it is effective to buy borderwalls once you have exhausted all other economic resources.

-Veritas

[yo mama]

but if you buy 5 border walls that is -10% of citizens
If you are having probs. with happiness you need to buy stadiums.
5 stadiums = +15 happiness or if income is bothering you buy 5 banks
5 banks = +35% income...I think

[cookieking]

They are bad in the beginning, however, at my point, having 5 helps me out.

[Jack Grist]

Yes i know there not as good as banks or stadiums, but they are good for when youve got every last one improvement. And stadiums arent that great, no where near as good as Banks and Factories.

Borderwalls begin to decrease my income after about 1 or 2, depending on my environment. Even with about 10 days taxes saved up, I only gain about $140K (after the price of the Borderwall is figured) for the first borderwall when my environment is 2 (before borderwall).

I can only get 3 before I stop turning a profit. Even then getting the third one only nets me ~3.5k, leaving me with 500 after paying the 3k upkeep for it .

[Grand Duke Stephen]

For me after 2 I start to make a LoSS, and I'm a fairly large nation.

[3 mm picks]

With my old nation, I had 5 border walls. They do increase your money collected after you have bought all other money making improvements. The loss in people doesn't matter because you are looking to make more money, not buy more improvements.

[wasso]

then? is it good? althought hat i don't think that..i'll try to buy it next time.

[cookieking]

They aren't as good as the other improvements, so get them first.

[wasso]

The larger (and closer to the Agricultural trade set [population]) you get the worse they are.

They are good to get if you have all of the other money/happiness boosting improvements (as the reduction in population would slow down the progress to other improvements). Just make sure to check how much money you get each day after getting X amount of Border Walls.
