Soldiers have a flat cost (which I think is $10) that is only modified by resources and defcon level. http://www.cybernations.net/about_topics.asp#DEFCON http://www.cybernations.net/about_topics.a...es_&_Trades

Environment has an effect, as does land. Where did you get that formula from scorp?

uaciaut speaks the truth. The game info is misleading when it says it is a percentage. Call it a discount multiplier or something less ambiguous.

It is definitely in brackets, ie. A to B improvements cost $x each C to D cost $y each. I have 14 and they cost $750 each, so it seems it jumps to $950 each at 15.

Over 3k still helps with spies.

Yeah, forgot about that too. The discount is 2 * tech/NS, and it is capped at 10%.

My bad. By 300 if you have a few schools and unis you should have scholars, but to get scholars without schools or unis, I think you need 400 tech (someone in my old alliance tested it). As to why everyone forgets, the reason is lead

No. Past 300, tech only does 3 things: Decrease infra bills Increase NS Help with the great uni (up to 3000).

Even $50 per citizen per day is quite good. I think $30 per citizen per day is good for a nation of this size. Really though, all you give up by collecting this interest is the collection of income from the infra 1 day of bills would have bought, if you do it right. You would forfeit this every 2 days. That is less than $10k until you get to the point you can improvement swap (at which point, it is worth much more than interest).

Are you sure that they didn't change their religion themself?

Citizens paying $100 in tax? You need to do that maths again. The vast majority of nations get much less from each citizen. Especially small ones, which are the only nations where interest matters.

If you wait more than one day since your last collection, then you will get 12% of your available cash as interest for every day past the 2nd that you collect. This is capped at 10k though. eg. It has been 1 day since you collected. You get $0 interest. eg. It has been 2 days since you collected, and you have $50k lying around. You get 50000 * 0.12 = $6000 interest if you collect eg. It has been 5 days since you collected, and you have $40k lying around. You get 40000 * 0.12 * 4 = $19200. The cap is $10000 though, so you only get $10000 interest. The most you can earn from this is $5000 per day if you collect every 2nd day and have $84k cash when you collect.

Did you offer the trade before you changed team? The team bonus only applies if you have the same team color at offer time. If at any time, either of you change color, the bonus is lost forever (ie. even if you come back to the same color later, the bonus is gone). Cancel and re-establish the trade.

It is not an error. You cannot delete your schools while you have any universities, even though you would still have enough schools. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but that is the way it is.
