the reason why i think good events arent reported is because they have little effect. if things continue this way, youll get the reports of good events, since theyre so seemingly rare that its a relief to get a very minimal good event than your typical super bad event. I only have 2 bad events, yet it puts me at -$8.00 PLEASE SAVE US ADMIN!

think about it this way. given your current improvements, you can take out your 5 LCs and switch them for 5 churchs. With LCs being -1 happiness each, and churchs being +1 happiness, the opportunity cost is a total swing of 10 happiness, or $41.52 of income (given perfect environment). So every day you don't labor swap, not only are you losing out on the 50% infra upkeep cost discount, you're also losing out on an additional $41.52 per citizen of additional income.

considering that most nation who buy tech save SIGNIFICANTLY more than the sellers profit, i dont see why there would be an issue of the price of tech going up. even if the price of tech doubles, or even triples, its still a buyers market by a long shot.

got it. Thanks!

so how is +1 happiness affected by environment? from what i understand, environment affects your happiness. but, the way i see it, an event that boosts happiness is independent of the environment.

Just curious... how is +$2 income affected by the environment changes?

I don't think one can say that there is any single best pattern to purchasing improvements. It all depends, mostly. Plus, you have the FM way down there. Usually, if you start purchasing improvements, you're focusing more on growth. Tech deals give you a huge boost in that, and Id say a FM is almost necessary to maximize growth from the extra cash in tech deals. That, and I don't think I'd ever permanently purchase LCs. Improvement Swapping ftw.

should you buy superwonders earlier if you have the cash for it? also, which wonders classify as superwonders? I thought you should choose wonders based on their benefit, with the +5/+$10 wonders being the most beneficial?

I asked a similar question about a month ago... I know the search function isn't working, and it was 3-4 pages back. When do I start buying tech in tech trades? From what I gathered, the 4K infra jump appears to be the most ideal. At that point, the money you save on bills due to more tech is greater than the profit you would receive from selling tech. The best way to 'graduate' is to start at 0 tech then buy 5 batches of 50 tech and send them to trusted nations for them to hold on to. Then buy another 50 tech for yourself. When you're ready to graduate, ask for all 250 tech back at once. When it's all said and done, you will start off buying tech, with 300 tech in your pocket, and you paid 6*50 tech as opposed to the increasing price of tech up to 300 tech.* *Kudos to Blacky on this advice

is it ever TOO early to start buying wonders? I'm currently at 3770 infra, and I'll soon have enough money saved to buy the SM.

What's the environment bonus for maintaining that ratio?

You guys have conflicting ratios. Can anyone confirm which 2:1 ration is better, land:infra or infra:land (although the latter makes more sense), if this is even true at all?

I think he means CN money.

sorry... i should have scratched out this post, but since no one was signing up i thought it would be ignored. as bignastypsu says, i am no longer trying to put this trade circle together.

ahhh total n00bed right there. i just sent 50 tech and forgot to replace it. thanks for the help. eeesh. embarassing.
