Stock Market
$10 times 1.82= 18.2
18.2/100*28= 5.096
Great Temple
5 Happiness= 10$
Repeat Above Calculation.
Therefore they are both the same in terms of income. The 5 Million cheaper is why the Stock Market is sought out first

The global radiation is at 0.96. Thanks to everyone who kept their fingers off the nuke button. As a nuclear armed nation I would also pat myself on the back for not nuking something
-
Usually it's good form to announce a state of war in public. I find it odd that a large alliance would be attacked in such massed numbers without informing the world
-
Good job NOI. Hail to our allies!

maybe but how many nation honestly make enough to buy that that are under the 5% of the nations.. 100million isnt a small amount.. it takes a long time to get that for me and im prety high up. i dont think nations under the 5% wil lget that
I can get it in 25 days If I wanted at 4 million a day. Right now I have no pressing need for more nukes since I am maxed out already, so I will buy it maybe in a few months time (depends on political circumstances). I can also push myself over the top 5% if I inflated my strength with military. Right now it sucks up upkeep costs so I don't inflate my strength.
But I think it will come in handy in the future especially when the top 5% becomes richer and richer

Hidden Nuclear Missile Silo - $30,000,000 - Allows your nation to develop +5 nuclear missiles that cannot be destroyed in spy attacks.
Can admin or anyone clarify this for me, does this wonder allow you to purchase an additional 5 nukes on top of the current 20 nuke cap, or does it just protect 5 of the nukes in your arsenal from spy attacks?
It allows you to have up to 25 nukes, with your last five being immune to spies
-
Wait, never mind. Misread the opening post

No a good idea to make a name that people would interpret as being Nazi. The powerful rule the show here. Do as they say or be smashed by them. If I were in your position I would restart my nation and try again without any potential Nazi references.

20$ donation= 200 Infrastructure
Maximum Aid Amount= $4.5 Million
Being the Admin of an online nation simulator and being tech raided for the lulz= Priceless
There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's \m/

Doesn't that make the SDI nearly useless? It's easy to re-buy nukes, so this really wouldn't justify the $75m cost.
Indeed, does this mean that a single nation can launch multiple nukes until one hits?
Can a mod please confirm this?
You can only buy one nuke per day, so the SDI is good because a foe will burn through nukes that would otherwise do damage.

prior to GW2 if my memory serves
It indirectly triggered Great War 2 I think. Because when it got into the media, Fark saw the news and posted a link to this place on their web site. Then they started coming in, then GOONS attacked then LUE intervened and bam Great War 2 kicked off
-
Spying is not cool. Especially when they damage expensive nation property. Hope you catch that culprit and make him/her suffer
-
Another question, does this mean we can have up to 25 nukes with this wonder? Or does it just mean that your 'Last' five are spy immune or something?
-
They all sound pretty neat, except the Federal Aid Agency. But I think the Manhatten Project is probaly the best thing. The latest tech re-evaluation set me back under the top 5% The manhatten project would reduce the pressure to buy so much technology off the market
-
Uranium and Spices have never really given me stable trades, it's hard to find good resources and the traders quite often pullout (athough I did manage to have some trades that lasted a couple of months). But today I was offered a trade circle so finally I think I will have permanent stability and some really decent resources
-
40 citizens I think. But I don't know if that is affected by population modifiers
-
I have no idea. But I have given millions in free aid for The Republic and then The Federation. I also have given out lots of money for tech and loans. But other then that most of my money goes back into developing my nation and increasing my income even further
-
I find the non-war political and financial side fun as well. In fact I haven't had a "Real" war in a long time (I have fought wars but they never fought back due to inactivity). Alliance politics, financial transfers and generally establishing social networks are a fun aspect of the game. Although I think the threat of war also helps. That is the main purpose behind alliances for example, to protect others from attack, and the threat of war can help spice up politics ("I have more guns and allies then you do, so do as I tell you" for example)
-
No, that wasn't the goal actually. The idea was to provide just another option in the game for players to consier.
Like reducing the strategic imperative of midnight rushing?
-
I have a hundred. So far I have only used spies on someone else to test the feature, but a real spy operation could come in the future
-
Double Post, sorry
-
Scammers deserve total destruction. I hate theft of hard earned money
-
Wars are always popping up. Be patient, time needs to be taken for the lines to be drawn, the relations to break down, then for the combat
-
I roleplay Pontbridge as an island city state. It is a sovereign nation much like Singapore. I think of alliances as a kind of Regional (or global for large alliances) organisation that has varying levels of control over their members (depends on the alliance). And with blocs and treaties being agreements between these supernational organisations. But I generally think of all the nations as being fairly small amounts of towns and cities
Predictions on the Future of Warfare
in Global Politics
Posted · Edited by Stylesjl
I would like to make a few predictions as to how wars in Cybernations will be waged in the future. My assumptions rely on the idea of what war will be in a major inter-bloc conflict in the next few months (from the start of 2008 and onwards)
There are some things that have changed about the war system recently which prompt me to write this. If you find my predictions or assumptions unrealistic, or if you find my data inaccurate, I will welcome criticism to improve this. I would also welcome your own contributions to build a better picture
The first thing to understand is the implementation of military wonders. This, I predict will change many aspects of warfare. Especially nuclear warfare among the top tier nations
My first prediction is that nuclear weapons will become far more common over the next few months. Any nation with a large enough income could now buy a manhatten project to build nuclear weapons. This will result in a greater number of nuclear rogues and will result in many small alliances also gaining access to a greater number of nuclear weapons. This in turn will result in nuclear wars and wars in general becoming a more destructive endeavour. The counterbalance to this however will be the SDI wonder, this will result in nuclear wars also decreasing in the level of devestation for individual nations whom have invested in SDI. However the destruction will now be more "Evenly" spread across the board of an alliance as now many more nations will be victims of nuclear weapons
My second prediction is that a stark contrast will begin to develop between economic based alliances and military prepared alliances. Alliances that are in a frequent state of war or alliances that are downright paranoid of being attacked will invest heavily into military based wonders such as the SDI, Hidden Silo, CIA and Manhatten Project. This will come at the expense of their economic growth as they lose the income gained from the normal economic wonders. So in future military based alliances could become very powerful as they can be sheilded from nuclear attacks, have more spies, have a greater number of nuke armed nations and this will result in military investing alliances having an advantage over economic alliances, at the expense of their long term growth of their nations from the oppurtunity cost of not buying income enhancing wonders
The third prediction is that in the future it will be harder to bring down small alliances and rogue nations. A well prepared nation could hold out for a very long time if they stockpile a great deal of cash and use many military enhancing wonders, such as the manhatten project (which will allow nukes to be bought even at ZI). This could result in relative power shifting away from large, well resourced alliances. However this could be wrong, as this rule will only apply to large and well developed nations being brought down to Zero Infrastructure
So questions/comments/insults?
Edit: Fixed one of my points
