Not very cool, but I understand why you are ready to leave. Four years is a long time, especially for a game like this. Have a good RL!

Nice to see you got your forums up and running again.

[quote name='Xiphosis' date='22 July 2010 - 11:11 PM' timestamp='1279851059' post='2385174'] And it only took you a month to move! Well done. [/quote] I'd like to echo this statement except without the sarcasm - changing a whole alliance to a different colour sphere is hard.

Congratulations. It's funny to see the alliances who don't usually come to these boards make announcements. It reminds you that they are still around and kicking!

It's usually option 1. For a small nation like yours, if you don't plan on jumping up to 2000 infra with outside aid, it might be 2 but I haven't looked into it too much. I assume it looks something like if you have more than $300 income per citizen choose option 2, otherwise option 1? I'd need someone to confirm this for me though...

[quote name='Schattenmann' date='18 July 2010 - 03:53 PM' timestamp='1279479205' post='2377524'] GO should be apologizing to you. [/quote] This is correct, it was not a classy move, whether or not it was sanctioned by the highest UPN official.

This move is good for many reasons. It will keep the alliances you just canceled on from looking too "large" for the CnG to worry about, and right now you have some good PR from Planet Bob as a whole, due to the Gramlins issue. Whether this is a short term strategy, or a longer term thing, it was a good move all the same. I can envision another group of alliances joining with you, creating a smaller, independent bloc. It would be full of the alliances who don't care to join with CnG or those alliances you canceled on.

It will be hard, but if you're committed to it you can try. Here are some tips: [list] [*]Do not stay on the AA "None", change it to a random Alliance name, that doesn't exist but sounds official. Either that or a random collection of letters (NGruiwnutih) [*]Put in your AA that you are protected by an alliance (make the name up, and MAKE SURE this alliance does not exist (if you're truly serious about going it 'alone')) [*]Maintain the largest army possible, 75% of citizens or something. If you want to collect the most, sell some during collection only. You will pay more in bills but not too much more. [*]Do tech deals. The pros of this are you get money and grow faster, and someone has an investment in you and will be on "your side" if you get raided. They can't do much if you're not in an alliance, but they can be angry with you The cons of this are you show on on the foreign aid screen and can be found by raiders that way, and it will be hard to find buyers since you are unaligned. [*]Stay in Defcon 1/Threat level 1 unless you are collecting. Ideally try to pick up enough money to be able to backcollect for 10 days, and on collecting go to Def5. [*]Keep a very low amount of technology on you, but keep enough money to buy 100 tech at least if someone attacks and keeps fighting beyond the first 2 Ground Attacks. Keep a low amount of land on you. These things are what raiders look for, they want to steal these things. Make yourself unattractive. [/list] Good luck if you try this! Once you get nukes it'll become easier to keep raiders off, by saying they will get nuked for 7 days if they try

Nice newsletter. Good work on aiding TPF, they deserve it.

Sorry to hear this

Congratulations VE, I'm a fan.

Nice pairing I approve!

I stay up until update, sometimes an hour later, but usually I'm asleep around or an hour before update.

Come to #cn-econ, we have discussed this and I think someone can provide you with an exact answer

http://www.cybernations.net/search_wars.asp?search=144512&Extended=1 And here we go.

[quote name='xenon' date='06 July 2010 - 03:31 PM' timestamp='1278441071' post='2361285'] this would be something like (Modifiers*((base#perinfra*infra)+(Base#perland*land)))+/- envpenalty/bonus% ? [/quote] join #cn-econ on IRC, we talk about things like that.

http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Unjust_War everything you need to know ^ there.

To all those talking about CAPS - I think he was told not to by someone TOLWYN - thanks for creating your nation and alliance, I wish you all the best in the future. Maybe now you can focus on a new goal, something a bit more attainable! You should talk to someone who has been around for a while, see what the political landscape really is, see what you can do on this planet!

I did this. But got an extra 6 mill because I had two of my aid on the first day. Looks like you can too. Go for filling 4 slots on day 20, for 42 mill. (make the deals even longer ) You then might be able to make it to 3k, but, with me and 36 mill, I only got to 2.3 I think, something like that. My jump, in image form: [img]http://i.imgur.com/2Y5kM.png[/img] And I used all of the money.

I'm gonna have to support TOLWYN in this one, this is his project, and no one elses

For a real answer, read here: The response varies depending on who you talk to. Some say start buying wonders around 4k infra, some at 5k infra. So you're not behind if you decide to do it then. At 4k infra, you should have most of the income improving improvements, so then might be a good time.

Yano - change the gov to "sign the treaty", not the one you have right now (Yanoplathizia is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned.) unless you are setting up your trades to trade with uranium. no uranium=sign that treaty uranium=use nuclear power but no nukes.

o/ Enyo and your tech deal arranging skills, and congrats to Ronin on the year. From what I have seen you're all pretty cool

Here are some things you can do: Change your gov preference to sign that treaty opposing use of nuclear technology. -3 environment. 75 tech will get you another -1, and 100 tech will get you another -1 environment. (but if you're tech selling which you should, this might not be useful because you usually don't want to buy more than 50 tech at a time) Capitalist, Democracy, or Republic are all -1 env gov choices. below 120 ppm with water, I think you have that though. (a -1 env) if your land is over half your infra -1 environment. if your soldier efficiency level is under 60% of your population, you will get a -1 environment bonus. The max you can get is GRL+1 so don't try to get more than that. Also don't look at the stars, look at the number to the right, if you highlight the spot it will show your environment as a number, the lower the better. Also at your size Border walls are less useful than other types of improvements. Especially now with all this above you should be able to get to GRL+1 without the border walls.

Alternatively, if you organized it online, you can see when the deal started. Or if you organized it on forums, same thing. Then count 10 days at a time to see.
