nippy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 [quote name='flak attack' timestamp='1316182564' post='2801548'] Opethian used to have a problem with people spying his nukes. Of course, once he figured out who did it, it was no longer a problem. [/quote] This must be some inside joke I'm unaware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone started spying them quite some time later, so he bought an HNMS to protect the rest. Once he found out who it was that was spying him, he used the rest of them on the guy. That's what started his fall to -1k ns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Lightyear Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 [quote name='Locke' timestamp='1316146662' post='2801320'] Raiding PPF is almost as dumb as raiding NAAC.

Unknown Smurf Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 [quote name='Aeros' timestamp='1316174828' post='2801506'] If you don't want to be raided, don't be all alone in the wasteland. Its not like this is hard or anything. Personally I think its just an excuse to go nuke rogue. Even then, the best you could hope for is to be a minor irritant of the ultra low tier of an Alliance. Just ask this guy how well his crusade against "the raiders" is going. http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=76684 [/quote] ..considering he's currently raping the guy attacking him? I don't understand your point. King Sin is doing more damage than he is recieving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigrun Vapneir Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 [quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1316155395' post='2801443'] Really? Point me to PPF's protectorate. [/quote] I dont think anyone said PPF had a protector. Still a dumb move, and tasteless to boot. [quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1316156845' post='2801447'] Why don't you just check how much money you use in 1 day and divide 3 billion by that? Eyeballing your nation I would say you spend ~9 million/day (low tech ) for full military/buying nukes whatnot. Which is 333 days. Take into account that your bills will deplete as you run outta infra/stuff I would say you could last a good 15 months without going into peacemode and rebuying to 1k infra for nuking purposes. That's 450 nukes. A minimum of 67,500 infrastructure. [/quote] Hah, you beat me to it. I think you are in the right ballpark. It depends to some degree on his tactics, of course. He could burn through it quicker or he could make it last longer, depending on how he chooses to fight, and just how good he is at it. It should be more than enough to wage an ultimately successful, if long and difficult, war against the attacking AAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viluin Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) A year, maybe. It depends on your technology level and how many wonders you have. If you have a lot of tech, it won't last as long because you'll be fighting stronger opponents. If you're around 15-20k nation strength once you're down to 1,000 infra your wars might even sustain themselves with looted money if you don't splurge on aircraft when you're fighting nuclear opponents (aircraft become far too expensive for the benefit at that point). On the other hand, if you have almost no tech your NS will drop too much and the wars will be meaningless. Well, I suppose you could always buy aircraft to boost your NS before declaring new wars. I lasted 2.5 months with 500 million in the Karma war. Fought like 40 different nations. The first 2-3 weeks are the most expensive. Outside of a major war it may be easier, because the opponents at lower NS levels are softer. During a major war there will be others like you that are knocked down in NS while keeping all their wonders. In any case, you can make the lives of the lower NS nations in your attackers' alliances hell for a long long time. PS: A moon/mars colony from back when you had lots of infra helps A LOT. It'll nearly double your citizen count (and soldiers) with no NS boost @ 1000 infra. Edited September 17, 2011 by Viluin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dochartaigh Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 hehehehe. You have yet to be able to spy me. Also, I guess the threat of sending my crews to the gulags worked finally.

Andrew425 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think if you look at the second one you may notice that it closely resembles your own nation save for slightly more infra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dochartaigh Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 ahhh you are correct. I need to pay attention to the other names of my trade partners. As for WC, who needs a huge one really? You are getting hit hard currently. Sure, once this round is over, you will have more cash but if you wish to continue this beyond round 1 you will have to purchase a ton of infra to get back up in range.
