Did you consider that could be because events were removed from the game during that time?

I buy my own tech and find them pretty useless.

Hey, guess what? If we don't have the infrastructure to support those jobs, we can't bring them in anyway. If you insist on continuing with the pointless "it's realistic" argument.

Really? Didn't $3M for 150 tech used to be considered cheap? But now $3M for 100 tech is considered cheap. Next $3M for 50 tech will be considered cheap. Personally, I'm against tech dealing. For me at 3610 tech, it costs ~$4M for 10 tech. I still buy it that way. It obviously isn't a severe detriment to my growth seeing as I'm ranked #150-something.

If you collect/pay bills every day (14 times aweek), your chance of getting an event is 1 - 0.9^14, or 77.12%

Can I have your events...please? Recently, storms have hit your nation, causing widespread flooding, disruption, and downed power lines. Hundreds of people have had to be evacuated from their homes and crops have been destroyed. Option selected. Extent your sympathies but suggest that people should be doing more to help themselves. Population happiness -4, Citizen income -$2.00. Your main ethnic group and a small minority are experiencing various inter-racial problems. During a heated debate recently violence broke out in your capital city and many buildings were burned. Option selected. See Current Response. Send in armed soldiers to quell the violence and restore the buildings to show you retain order in your capital. Citizen income -$3.00.

The nation map feature has always been wrong anyway. I posted a picture of mine once, basically, it gets very mishapen when you touch the borders of the world

Spend it on infrastructure. You probably should have at least 4k infrastructure before even considering buying a wonder.

The admin said I could have my nuke cap increased to 40 if I wanted it... ...see the problem? Read? Those are supposed to change the layout of the nation display page. And people would maybe have multiple nations because they were grandfathered in?

Wouldn't just not letting you send tech to nations with more tech than you be an easier solution than what you propose? Not that it would ever happen because people are so adamant about leaving tech dealing in the game. Though I personally feel it should be killed, but that's just me.

There are nations that are old, and nations that are not old. If the old nations aren't the nuke capable ones, who does that leave? (Yes, I know the example is a little oversimplified, but my point still stands).

Don't forget that before that, it was restricted to the top 300 nations. Like Thorr pointed out Viliun, the people in the top 5% don't always remain in the top 5%. If you go sort all nations by creation date, you'll see quite a number of the oldest nations aren't even nuke capable. War happens, people drop in rank.

Or you could look at my awesome graph. Graphs solve all problems by distracting you from the real issue at hand

Don't even try getting a $50M loan. You're only 4 days old, you won't even be able to pay it back in any respectable amount of time. You're probably more likely to cripple your nation trying to pay it back.

If those charts need any updating, send me an ingame PM about what changed and I'll update them where I originally uploaded them. (I'm going to add in the 8k infra stuff right now) Updated. Existing links go to the new images now.

I'm in favor of the Tech change, it was needed. I'm in favor of the GRL being readded, but not because it adds a new dimension to the game, because it really doesn't. It was just finally implemented correctly.

So, let me get this straight, the majority of CN players are being morons? I've seen so many calls for the strength value of tech to decrease in the suggestion box in my time here, then as soon as the change is finally implemented, more than 50% of you start complaining saying it shouldn't have been done? Maybe the suggestion box should just be removed because most of the CN players seem to complain when they get what they ask for. As has been pointed out, tech still provides more strength than infrastructure. I lost 30,000 ns from the change, do I care? Yes, but because it is beneficial to everyone. Now it's possible to get a 10% infrastructure discount. So what if I moved down 0.7% in the ranks. You people who are rushing to get nukes thinking they are these amazing things that make the game suddenly worth playing are being ridiculous. Nukes don't really do much of anything for you but make you look powerful, which is just what an excessive level of technology did before the change. Besides the fact you'll probably be ZIed by somebody just for launching one, they only manage to drain a fair amount of money out of your economy.

While he can donate then, he won't be able to double up without waiting until the end of October.
