  1. Just thought I'd jump in here to make a point. This comes straight from the guide: The maximum number of technology that can be destroyed is 2.... So in any random cruise missile attack will take anywhere from 0-2 tech away, not a guaranteed 2, it could be zero. And as for the logistics of destroying tech in a cruise missile attack, it's not absurd, and here's why. As a fairly new nation (17 days old) I just began purchasing tech. On the tech purchasing page, it shows a picture of what is apparently your country's state of the art technology (It starts at a telegraph) and as you purchase tech, you get new state of the art technology (Mine is a spin-dial phone) Now isn't it possible that cruise missiles destroy these items? Or destroy the means of producing these items? Maybe the factory that makes my spin-dial phones got hit in the attack and I'm unable to make these anymore. The same can be said about more technologically advanced nations. What if the cruise missile hits a government computer terminal? It's a small scratch for such a technologically advanced nation because 2 level technology loss for a nation with 300 tech is a small percentage compared to a 2 technology loss to a nation with 2.5 tech. The more technological nation has an easier time recovering from the hit, but it costs more due to all the delicate equipment that must be replaced. So I don't look at it as a means of destroying information, I look at it as a means of destroying the ability to put that information to use. Hope that made sense.
  2. Ok, I read that and still have 1 more question (Just 1, I swear) This interested me in the Environment section: Environment - Environment effects both your nations population happiness and population count. There are numerous variables in the environment bar which include some of the connected resources (coal/oil and uranium bring your environment down), a nations tech level, infrastructure to land ratio, military to population ratio, not having access to water, certain government types, your responses to the drug and immigration government policy questions, etc... There isn't anything about the environment in the Technology section of the guide. Is it something that is a secret that needs to be found out? Is it out of date or something else?
  3. My nation is finally big enough to start purchasing tech, and I have a few questions about it. Is tech an aspect where the effects are dependant on nation size, as in an equation? For example, tech is supposed to increase the environment, are there simply flat amounts, I.E. 20 Tech = One half star? (A very rough and inaccurate example) or are the positive effects dependant on say, your Nation Strength? I'm wondering about literacy rate aswell, because I was looking for trading partners and saw someone's tech level was 22, and upon further inspection I noticed they had 1 school yet a literacy rate of 20%, which I assume is the base percent. So are there other effects other than tech affecting this nation's literacy rate, such as there military/citizen ratio, infrastructure, etc.? The only thing I'm sure on is the amount of happiness you get, which I know is a flat rate. Sorry if this post is rambling and convoluted or if this stuff was covered in the FAQ (I looked a long time and didn't find any of this). Thanks for reading. (Also, I like the little feature of getting better tech items in the purchase tech area, like the telegraph evolving into a radio)
