  1. That's the problem I see you running into. That wonder really only gives +$8, and it has conditions. For an extra 5,000,000 the stock market beats it by +$2. Great Monument, Great Temple, Great University, National Research Lab, Social Security System, Stock Market, Internet, and, at higher levels, Interstate System, Universal Health Care, Nuclear Power Plant, Scientific Development Center, National Environment Office(Which would support the trades as well) and even the Agricultural Development Program beat the Mining Industry Consortium wonder outright in terms of economic increase with all 4 resources being present in a nation's resume.

    Considering that the wonderclock is probably one of the most influential pieces that people have been having recently, it wouldn't befit a nation to take this wonder over another, when the others aren't reliant on your trades. I would have to have those thirteen wonders before I would consider allowing myself to purchase the Mining Industry Consortium. I'd take the National War memorial and Movie Industry over that wonder as well, since they don't restrict their effects to my trades. This way, if I lose a certain lead/uranium trade, I'm only out Lead/Uranium, not any effects that my wonders have.

    Edited to include repetition.

    Thank.

    I thought the MIC was equal to the ADP if you had all 4 resources.

    The fact that it's really much lower changes the equation.

    Hmmm..........

  2. Posted in another Navy thread:

    I save 30% on Upkeep (40% for my Frigate and Destroyers, 45% for my Subs and Carriers). My Subs and Carriers are 30% Cheaper, Frigates and Destroyers are 25% Cheaper and everything else is 15% Cheaper.

    45% on Subs and Carriers is the real kicker.

    With my current Agro Trade Set I payed $240,000 last night for the upkeep on 6 Carriers and 4 Frigates :blink:

  3. You'll want to throw Water in there for Beer instead of Fish. I think the +5.5 Happiness and +1 Enviroment helps if you can't get MIC.

    Edit : I did the Calcs, with Fish, I'd only be making an extra 170,000 per collection. (Of course, Water is one of my default resources, if I got Fish as well, I couldn't get the 7/8BR Group.)

    170,000 per day is a lot.

    I also started with beer, but the loss of the 8% pop boost seemed to be too much.

    *Craven knows about guns , but was pointing out its difficult for me to tell you what that is when it looks like a shadow :P

    Shape looks like what I said, but since I cant see model number , I cant say Lol.

    Off topic oops

    Join BLACKWATER and....... Craven will teach you how to use guns :D :jihad: :jihad:

    Free bump with an answer.

    It's a M-16A1 (Full Auto MIL) / AR-15 (semi auto civilian)

    You can tell by the sleek fixed rear sight in the carrying handle, fixed rear stock and the smooth handguards.

    M-16A2's have a bulkier adjustable rear sight and a ribbed front handguard.

    M-4's have a collapsible stock with short, ribbed handguards.

    Magazine is a standard 30 rounder.

    :jihad:

    ETA: I may be a Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 enthusiast, but still know my Black Rifles.

  5. It seems like the 7BG set + Uranium and the MIC Wonder is the way to go to afford the upkeep on a large navy and arsenal.

    Magic 7 Set:

    Aluminum, Marble, Iron, Lumber, Wheat, Fish, Rubber, Coal, Oil, Lead, Gold

    Extra Resources: Uranium

    Bonus Resources: Construction, Steel, Asphalt, Automobiles, Scholars, Microchips, Radiation Cleanup

    Rough math says the naval upkeep will be -38% with this set.

    The Mining Industry Consortium Wonder should help bring up the bottom line.

    Can someone good with math say how this set-up will compare to the usual Agro and Industrial trade groups if you have +50 ships?

  6. phillip110, you miserable puke of fellow... Yes, you were the point man of their so called diplomacy, but that is why it is 'so-called'... I think it is time for you to hush up though in an incident that had nothing really to do with you, or at least wasnt supposed to.

    My alliance would own yours too, and that is the glory of the little guys.... We fight hard and go nuts, and each of ours is worth 9 of yours. So, go away phillip.... please

    For posterity. <_<
