You could have asked me I'm always happy to help. After all I probably caused that defeat alert and then reduced my deployment to get in ground attacks.

The Grämlins are also doing large scale tech deals, all on a 10 day basis. The smallest deal we do is 600 tech (transfered on a single day every 10 days), the largest we got so far is 2000 tech (again, transfered on a single day). It usually works best to split it into smaller parts (either 600 or 1200 tech for one day of transfer) for easier organisation. Alliances interested can contact me with an ingame PM But be aware that while we pay a good price we also expect good service, meaning fast tech delivery (those transfers should really work on a single day, we are very proud on our aid slot efficiency and every day delay in a tech transfer results in wasted aid slot time).

Agreed on everything but the tech level for plans. 1000 tech for lvl9 planes is totally awesome and necessary. Having 9 different plans was completely useless since everybody just had lvl9 planes anyway. Now those different kinds of planes actually make sense. No cap for tech on battle influence is very good but I'd love to see the new formula. How does the tech influence work exactly? Changing the tech raid stuff for inactive nations is totally unnecessary. Now people have to raid actives. And balancing player resources would really very important

I posted the same in the suggestions forum.

Thanks for the advice but since my people have a average gross income of over 400$ the 3rd border wall is not profitable when the env would be maxed without it. Hm monarchy having a hidden env bonus all the time explains things. Too bad, I was looking forward to having less border walls

http://www.cybernations.net/about_topics.asp#Government_Type Not much changed, Monarchy still kicks ass and is better then anything else. About the env change: Monarchy now has a positive effect on environment. With the old system (no effect on env) I had full (1.00) env with 3 border walls. Now that Monarchy gives +env I should have full env with only 2 border walls, right? I razed one today and my env score went down one point (2.00) - which it shouldn't since Monarchy now should give +env and compensate for the loss of the border wall. So how does that positive / negative effect on env work?

Depends on if the war you want to fight is nuclear or not. Conventional: Go for 7999 infra. Nuclear: Go for 4999 infra.

The break point even is somewhere around 13k infra. Make sure you have labor camps built and a good resource combination (3bg with fish and uranium if possible). With bad trades infra is not profitable much earlier.

Bonus resources are useless. I have exactly one and I make more money with this trade setup then any amount of bonus resources could give me. The "mass bonus goods" trade combos all totally and utterly suck. The 5bg combo has it's limited uses, the 3bg / 1bg setups are by far superior.

This. Destroying tech is quite useless. Stealing it would be fun and it would make CN very interesting (since it would actually be worth it to spy on someone who you don't want to DoW).

The real questions is at what point is the return of a wonder bigger then the return of buying infra? This is the case at very high infra ranges where it takes several month for the infra to pay for itself. This is NOT the case at 3999 infra. Then why get your first wonder at that infra range? Because you have a 30 day clock to worry about, which should be started as soon as possible. 3999 infra is the point where infra would still be better then a wonder but the loss if you buy a wonder first is not really big. In long term you will win significantly since you will have 3-4 wonders when you hit 5999 infra which then is a LOT better then hitting 5999 a few weeks earlier but with no wonders at all.

No. Buy infra instead.

Starting at 3999 infra: SM SSS DRA GT Buy infra or be bank? Infra => Interstate, else Internet Research Lab Got 3000 tech already? Great University Starting at 4999 infra: Build SM after DRA
