[Disbandment Notification]

Yep, sad to see us go. But am looking forward to where this will take us.

[A BAPS Declaration]

3Mil NS just in time for war.

[Where's ya cape Fella?]

It's been a very long time since we've been to the battlefield.

[A Joint Announcement from TORN and BAPS]

I for one must endorse this announcement.

[Hell has come to Elysium and BAPS loves it Accords]

I must say it is great to get back with such a great ally.

[Announcement from BAPS Ministry of Internal Affairs]

Congrats to Ste05 and Ocallagh for being re-elected. Although the 2 run off votes (and closeness of them) showed the high qualities of the candidates.

[\m/ Decree]

Lol, You want us to surrender to you before the real fun even begins? I think you need to double check who you are fighting again...

[Environment Hover Text]

1 Star - Your nation's environment is a disaster. It's a wonder that any of your citizens even survive within your borders.

[A BAPS DoW, this time with real bullets!]

It's ok FARK, we still like you guys, but see you on the Battlefield, and hopefully have a bit of fun lobbing nukes at each other

[Infra Jumps]

It's 25k for the record. Admin himself stated it a few months back. Although, why would you want so much infra is beyond me...

[Worst Resource poll]

Well, currently, there aren't really any extremely bad resources anymore. Bad pairs of resources on the other hand...

[Karma War Veterans]

I was approx 48-49k NS pre-war and lost about 12-14k NS during the war. Currently at about 66k NS due to 2.5k infra more, 1600 tech more and a WRC

[Why should I buy spies?]

So people don't spy away your shiny investments (nukes). Also usually prevent random mischief from spy attacks being conducted upon to your nation

[Shorten war length to 4 or 5 days]

I think that wars of 5 days and nuclear anarchy of 3 days would be perfect for TE. Seeing that a round is only 60 days long, anything longer would feel (and does) like an eternity.

[Senate Elimination]

Alliance leadership should be competent enough to select senators that are going to follow orders. As you said, this is a war game, and it seems as though the senate position has evolved into a tool of war.

It's not a tool of war if you are sanctioning people because they are right at the top of the rankings, and not actually at war with them.

I agree that there shouldn't be no team senators / sanctions in TE.

EDIT: Grammar

[Permanent Infra Jump]

Really? I was under the impression 15k was a jump and it was the final one.

As for the OP, why not buy over again and record the results to verify it?

Actually, admin just recently stated that there was an infra jump at 25k infra.

But as to the infra jump at 15k infra, it is a fairly big purchase jump, but the upkeep isn't very big at all. Look at the purchase price next time you go above / below and see if there is any big swings there.

[Standard Display at Update]

I just noticed that the game still reverts back to the Standard Display screen of your nation when viewing your nation around update, but it only lasts a few minutes. Now that the war is over, will it be reverted back to what it was before the war, or will it just stay like this?

[New Images for resources!]

Fine Jewelery is easily the best looking new one IMO. The only images that I dislike are the Fish, Gems and Water. Also liked the old wheat better, but overall, I think the new images are better.

[Inactivity Deletion Extended to 25 days!]

I very much like this change. Now I don't have to fear losing my nation if I forget to collect at 19 days inactive

[Pigs - Something I don't understand]

You dont know what kinds of pigs these are.... Soldier-Pigs. Imagine themm with helmets, spikey armor, etc.

Their smell alone is enough to add some power to an attacking force!

pffft, soldier pigs. You have obviously forgotten the awesome power of robo-pigs (Yes I may be somewhat biased since my native resources are aluminium and pigs).

[Worse starting resources]

Furs / Lead, Furs / Oil, Furs / Rubber, Lead / Spices, Lead / Wine, Lead / Silver are all worse than Silver / Sugar. Silver and Sugar means the best option is probably the Fine Jewelery / Affluent Population / Fast Food route.

[New raid tactic or epic fail?]

Poor show by the "tech raider" IMO. First strike nuking in a tech raid? Well I can definitely say that if he did that to me he'd be eating 7 back.

EDIT: Spelling

[Next Wonder, Any Suggestions?]

I'd prob go a GU at this stage. If you reach 8500 infra by next month, then grab the WRC. If not, then the Internet.

[What wonder should i build next?]

Internet for a straight eco wonder, DRA to build up your tech or MP for nukes.

EDIT: Scratch the MP for now, you don't even have Uranium. The Military wonder of choice is definitely the SDI.

[5K Infra]

I believe that the upkeep jump at 5k is insignificant (the initial cost goes up a lot however).

This. The upkeep goes up only slightly but the purchase price goes up a significant amount. Although, $25-30mil is enough to buy you 200 infra at this level (depending on your resources and whether you have the Interstate).
