The game counts a player as inactive once that player stops collecting taxes, This is rather common with large nations, nations at war, nations who have lost trades etc. He still is active even if the game shows the player as inactive.

If I recall correctly, You're first gonna have to bring your opponent to what would be Anarchy, Then launch another attack to drop him into Anarchy instead of just having his soldier count drop below what his people want. However, don't quote me on this one as i'm not sure wether i'm right or not.

Well the 1.5k infra nation would get slaughtered by the 3k infra nation if the war would last long enough then. Besides if your at 3k infra i'm sure you would be in a alliance which could supply cash for the 3k nation to build up his/hers army with and knock the 1.5k infra nation down to under 1k in infra, And if people buying military just to get into the 5% I don't see the problem in it, How many actually use their nukes? Besides rogues which quickly get taken out. This update will only screw over those who were close to getting into the 5% and maybe even force some people to buy the Manhattan project which costs 100kk.

I don't quite understand people saying this gives a more fair view of how strong a nation is, In reality how strong a nation is is counted by that nations military power, Not how far the have advanced in their infrastructure. Say a nation can house a few milion people, But has no military they would get slaughterd if war should ever be declared on them. Now take another nation, Perhaps a nation that can barely house a milion people, But has a strong military force they would have alot better chance of winning a war than the nation without any military. It just doesn't make any sense to me the way it's calculated now.

Obviously it affects everyone, However many people see a positive hit from this, Those with barely any military. So now it would appear that if you have a very weak military you'll be able to climb higher in NS, While those who have a large military simply drop in NS. I don't quite see the logic in it all really, But it's just how I see it really.

I can't quite agree with everyone saying this is something good. Once I get rid of my military I will be back in the range I was in when I was about 10-20 days old. Rather an big annoyance if I can say so.
