Higlac Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I was curious if there was any known strategy to make war profitable, other than with just tech raiding, or any alliance that may specialize in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sharpe Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 No, war is hardly ever profitable. Even raiding is questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Bwalla III Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 ehhh, raids are only good for tech and land. Overall you may actually gain tech and land. However, when it comes to money profits, the amount of money you loot does not exceed how much money you lose from how wartime effects your nation.

But what if I sold the raided land and tech, and put it into infrastructure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp110 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 But what if I sold the raided land and tech, and put it into infrastructure? You can't sell land, and the money you would collect from selling the tech is probably not going to exceed the amount of cash it took you to get that. One nation getting pissed since you raided them could attack you and take back/destroy what you gained in tech/land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guido Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 war is only profitable if you find someone that won't fight back. that's why tech raiding is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One nation getting pissed since you raided them could attack you and take back/destroy what you gained in tech/land. Uh, you can sell land... To sell land enter a negative number in either field below and click the 'Calculate' button. Once you are ready to perform the transaction click the 'Perform Transaction' button. The minimum land required before selling is 100 miles of purchased land. Land Value Per Mile When Selling: $300.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 war is only profitable if you find someone that won't fight back. that's why tech raiding is funny. this. and thats pretty much realistic. no need to let people "earn money" by attacking others.
