Finglofin Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gems or Uranium? Which one and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gems gives $6.5 boost to income Uranium gives $4.5 if you have 30 tech, you lose 1 happiness for trading this resource so the income is down to $2.5, and your environment takes a hit. 3% infra reduction doesn't make up for that.

ppaps Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 From what I remember, there's also a part of the nation views that if you have uranium and you change it to that, it boosts the income even further. Also, it depends on how big your nation is. Once you get to the point where you can (and should) have nukes, uranium is a necessity for the rest of time. Not having it raises nuke costs by a huge amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uranium gives you +$5.5 income assuming you have border walls and the right goverment setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x Tela x Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Uranium is actually better when you have 20 nukes. When the upkeep for nukes went up, the value of uranium went up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drai Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It would be good if you had 20 nukes and at least 8k infra I'd imagine, which is why I'm consdiering swtiching over. It would also be nice in war to be able to replace my nukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzptm Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I really enjoy how the need for different resources changes over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I've been comparing the those trades the last couple days and i've actualy found sugar to be better for my nation than uranium or gems. I think gems might be better when you collect less than 100.00 from each citizen though. And the difference between uranium and sugar was literally 1,000 dollars per day, which is rather insignificant when you make nearly 17m x0. However, I do not have nukes so idk about what the difference is if you intend to get them. Anyways when in doubt plug the math. -Veritas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with the industrial set (I assume you have that one) it's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
