Lord Sharpe Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Question for you knowledgable folks out there: Once I am fully stocked with nukes, is it better to get rid of the Uranium, or keep it? Is the upkeep increase worth a better resource? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallfrog Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, if you have 5 nukes, it saves you 50K day. In terms of money, it will make you $7.5 a day per citizen, so $7.5*59K= 44250. minus 1 happiness, which is $3? 442500-177000=265500 so you gain $315500 a day. (though my happiness factor is probably wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morey 2k7 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 What are you giving up first of all? This It really does depend on what the other resource is that you had to drop to get uranium, if its fish/wheat/water etc then you would probablly best dropping uranium and getting old trade back.

Nova Bacia Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 chances are its probably better to drop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC1 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 More than likely it's best to drop it. Obviously I don't have any stats.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 keep it. you have all population modifiers and the only thing you could import instead of uranium would be a incomebooster (gems/wine/silver). you wouldnt gain another bonusgood, so only the resource-bonus counts. You would lose the -3% infra upkeep and your nuke-upkeep would double. You would gain +6.5$ income * modifiers. The envorionment penalty for uranium doesnt count, because you are already big enough for borderwalls which nullify that. Since you have 5,600+ infra and 20 nukes, Uranium is clearly worth more for you then Gems. It also enables you to re-buy nukes if you ever get into the need to fire some of them. Also in times of war, infracost-reducing resources are more valuable because the reduction is not affected by anarchy or nuclear anarchy, while income-boosters are useless then. Keep it.

A very good point. If I didn't have lead I would do what this man says when I get nukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
