Furs and Gold are part of Affluent Pop, so I see no problem there. The problem arises when you get something like.... furs and rubber... or furs and oil. That's just a crappy combination no matter how you slice it.

Strap on that plate mail today!

C'mon, check out our forums camelot.ibpfree.com

Lead is looking like a damn good resource to me, personally. Microchips still marginal. Lead just has so many damn bonuses. It reduces nuke upkeep and cost, it reduces military upkeep and cost, it reduces navy upkeep and cost, and it halves the environment penalty for holding nukes. Plus, you can get scholars if you have lumber. I'd say lead is pretty much a must now for any nation that may have to fight a war. Only problem is it cuts into the feasibility of cattle as a resource significantly for industrial circles. Number crunching to do there. All things being equal, I would echo Syz's statement that the industrial circles are better for fighting wars. They are also better for maintaining large navies, which may end up being necessary for some.

Who are you? We are Camelot. We are modern day knights of the round table. Will I be protected if I join? Yes. We have nukes. Over 125 of them, in fact. And we have the best of friends. Will you be able to grow your nation quickly? Yes. Get accepted into our Academy, and fulfill the graduation requirements, and you'll get $15 million in aid. Will you be recognized as an individual, and not just a cog in a machine? Yes. We are a community of friends, and many of the members are active on IRC, so you will be sure to get personal interaction with many of the alliances' members. Although we are rapidly approaching 600,000 NS, we have only a little over 40 alliance members. How you I join this amazing alliance? Well, if you join based on this recruitment message, I would be absolutely shocked. Come get to know us instead. #camelot on coldfront. camelot.ibpfree.com if you can't use IRC. If you like what you see, join up. If you don't, move on. But I must say... we are

1) Every trade circle needs fish+wheat. No exceptions. 2) Lead is now an extremely good resource for nearly all military-focused nations to have. Very large nations might do better with another resource; I would have to do a good bit of math to say for sure. 3) I think the navy update will cause genuine specialization of nations into economic or military lines. Of course, really large nations can have both, but for midsized nations such as mine, buying a huge navy while staying in a 3BR would have a devestating economic impact.

Camelot We don't ask anyone to change team colors until we have a full trade circle lined up for you to jump into. For you, that's 3BR+income booster. We are an aqua alliance, however, and we would want you to eventually be willing to change team colors. The game's pretty boring if you can't do this. This would be mandatory. Yes, our charter contains the details. 25, atm. No wars atm. We do not consider ourselves to be anyone's enemy, and strive to maintain cordial relations with all alliances, and we are protected by the Mushroom Kingdom. #camelot on coldfront camelot.ipbfree.com to apply EDIT: We have a number of government positions open, depending on what you want to do.

I said this in another thread. Also, I got the "storms" event (which is -5 happiness equivalent for the optimal choice) when I paid bills yesterday. For the second time in 8 days. I'm sitting at -11.5 happiness and +1.5% population from events. Honestly.... wtf? If I were a new player just starting out I am sure I would be in bill lock, and forced to delete my nation or ride out bill lock for a month, while my more fortunate peers would prosper for no reason. I vote for wiping all existing events and preventing them from EVER happening again in the future. Either that, or fix it so that my situation doesn't happen to anyone... especially new nations that it would undoubtedly put into bill lock - for 30 days. Cap the happiness bonus at +5/-5 at the very least. Or make new events overwrite old ones, so that you can only have 1 in effect at a time.

It wouldn't be so bad if events only lasted for 10 or 15 days... but they last for 30 days. That's crushing. And tomorrow, I may get an event that cancels it out.. or I may get the same bad events again.... dragging my nation further down into depression. There are enough things to worry about on Planet Bob. I wish that getting a bad event was not one of them.

I have been doing my best to play the game well. I had an efficiency rating of above 200 yesterday, having never received aid, at over 100 days old. Today, I got 2 negative events. 1 on the tax collection, 1 on the bill pay. I made the most optimal choices I could, but still took -6.5 happiness. I can't even make that up by buying a stock market. Admin, by introducing such large random factors into the game, you are bleeding any differences in player skill out. What if I continue to get bad events, day after day? My nation will be crushed into the ground... at no fault of my own. My skill will be irrelevant. My ability to enjoy the game will be destroyed. I move that all existing events be removed, permanently, from the game. Or that the percentage be lowered to a small fraction of what it is now. We make our own events in this game, by our actions. We don't need game-generated events to make the game fun. Please, Admin, consider reversing this recent change you have made.

Pssshht. If you have the resources for it: Option #1 (low infra) - Iron, Fish, Wheat, Cattle, Pigs, Sugar, Coal, Silver, Gold, Gems, Wine, Furs or Option #2 (high infra) - Iron, Lumber, Fish, Wheat, Cattle, Sugar, Coal, Silver, Gold, Gems, Wine Furs for collecting and paying your bills Temp Alu, Marble, Lumber, Rubber for Option 1, or just Alu, Marble, Rubber for option 2 for max infra discount to buy infra. That's the way to pwn at trades. Oh well, at least with my Alu+Rubber I get cheap airplanes.. :jihad: :-p

This is seriously an awesome recruitment ad. You know you want to join.

He has changed his AA in game to STA POW. He seems to have complied with the surrender terms. I have reminded him to register and/or sign in, but just in case he doesn't make it, I'm posting this so he doesn't get attacked after complying with terms.
