  1. To further clarify what Delta said, here are your best possible trade options:

    Cattle, Coal, Fish, Furs, Gems, Gold, Sugar, Pigs, Silver, Lead, Wheat, Wine to collect. Your bonuses will be Fine Jewelery, Affluent Population, and a maximum citizen increase.

    When you pay bills pick up Uranium, Lumber, and Iron. Those resources along with your native Lead will give you near maximum infra and military upkeep cost reduction.

    When you buy infra (which should be rarely at your level) pick up Lumber, Iron, Marble, Aluminum, Rubber, and keep the Coal from your main trade set.

    If you are willing to put up with a small amount of hassle every couple weeks you'll be preforming at your maximum net income potential.

    Actually it is best to have an agreement between a few players to do this...because trying to find these every few weeks is not a "minor" hassle.

    esp. with bad starting resources.

  2. Well, the Interstate is pretty pointless for me at this moment because I have no intentions of raising infrastructure at this time.

    Well, I don't think I will be engaged in nuclear war (at least not nukes coming at me) for a while, considering my strength is only ~15,000. If someone decided to attack me with nukes, I can always return the favor just as easily.

    Also, would that 2% extra amount to more than a +5 happiness? I believe I read somewhere that each point of happiness is equal to about $2 income. By my math, +5 happiness should be an extra $400,000 a day and the 2% tax would only be $60,000. Maybe I am wrong?

    for SSS, 2% of gross income, not 2% of tax income directly added to your botton line...for the +5 happyiness, remember 1) mulitply your income modifiers to get the real income increase(good thing for you), then you have to multiply your tax rate to get the real money you are going to get(bad thing for you).

    I think SSS wins hands down in your case.

  3. Democracy is the "new" monarchy.

    Just most people have not yet figured this one out -_-

    Depends on spending habbits and land size.

    In large nations, extra +5% land is better than +1 happiness. and if that nation is still buying infra...then some other government is better.

  4. Just money PROVIDED the recipient ALSO has a Federal Aid Commission. So, unless you are an old and fat nation, this wonder is useless to you. Since only about 30+ nations have it, it is COMPLETELY a waste of money.

    only reason to have it is when it is the last thing you have to buy(maybe before fallout thing) in hopes that admin is going to change it into something different

  5. When your ROI is nearly 1,000 it might even be possible land is a better investment.

    1 mile of land is half the cost of 1 level of infra for me. No, land is no where close even with agri. wonder, esp with no environment pen. for me.

    Even if you don't buy infra because of ROI argument, work out a donation deal or just donate is good. Nothing is going to give you +40k of daily income cheaper.

  6. I mean get the infra to be above 14k. He is sitting at 8k or so if I remember correctly.

    Also, I think the infra limit has changed.

    I was at 16400 infra, I bought 10 just now...

    My bills increased 17577.60, my income increased 19696.16.

    2k increase in daily income is not too bad.(of course this is different for trades, enviroments, wonders etc)

  7. Game mechanics is rather limited in this aspect...you can't really "force" people to give back money etc.

    If the issue is he does not have cash on hand, he can pay in tech and have your friend do a tech sell to recover your money; otherwise the option is limited.

  8. Alright basically the month after this one I am going to be stuck choosing between a FAC and FFS. Which one is least useless?

    MP is good since you are not that far in the 5% mark...

    or you can chose mining thing for future trades.

    and then buy plenty of infra to get the last three eco wonders.
