you can sell you defences?

does that include fortifications?

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 15:36

I don't think fortifications - you can only direct sell your weapons, and it looks like only to other countries. I wonder what the minimum is, because the defense index is 60 (higher than Mentop).

Az · March 30, 2003, 15:38

how does one do that?

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 15:42

Go to the "trade" section on the left hand side (it's towards the bottom), then click "trade directly with countries and corporations". It's actually a nifty little way to get more money into a second country, as long as you have spare cash (which I have a TON of) in your original country.

Az · March 30, 2003, 15:45

Good thinking.

I am actually planning to break off Apolyton, and form a federation with my vassals, or something. When I have vassals, that is.

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 15:49

I'm keeping my main country in Apolyton, while all my vassals will have their own federation.

I think this should actually be a rule, so nobody can swing votes in their favor if they have a huge empire).

Az · March 30, 2003, 15:59

Maybe, if most of us will become really kick ass, we will use Apolyton as a world headquarters to coordinate our plans, and to take up arms against the masters of the world, like Derrick chang.

I have a feeling that after a while a bunch of the new people will stop playing, but you never know.

Az · March 30, 2003, 16:03

This is a highly addictive game, ones you get the basics. I continuously check the site every couple of minutes.

dudemanjack · March 30, 2003, 16:15

I've done that recently just because I needed to make sure to buy military products every month, and things of that nature.

Az · March 30, 2003, 16:20

You know, I look at all those indices, and it's rather clear to me now, I've got to build me a Nuclear Missile corporation. I'll build me a couple of batteries, and will just order lots of missiles from them, with contracts.

Colon™ · March 30, 2003, 16:28

Replying on Azazel's question: I had to swallow the debt of my electric power corp after all, but that didn't prove to be as much of a problem as I had feared. I'm getting balanced budgets regularily now, the value of my state corps has soared to double the previous record.
I have employment problems though, way too few workers and way too many managers and hi-tech folks. Upgrading corps had had its effect (and I'm continuing with it) but I still have a couple of troublesome companies. (although others are surprisingly profitable, like my 2 household products corps)

My economic strength is still meagre, but I'm on the right track.

Colon™ · March 30, 2003, 16:39

Question, is there any point in upgrading quality if you sell most of the production to other state corps? Does the quality of the supplied goods affect the quality of the produced goods?

Az · March 30, 2003, 16:42

That's a very good question, and I don't know the answer. That's why I generally don't do contracts. my own corps are too damn good.

say, Colon, what's the name of your country again?

You edited it out in that thread.

Where did I edit it out?

It's called Menca.

Yes, if in order to produce a certain good, you use high quality materials, the produced good will be of an higher quality.

Hey, is anybody in the Lynx Minor continent? Specifically , the Auruga Deserts region? That's where I am and I might need some military backup in about 1 game year if possible, but I don't want the whole fed involved because there aren't many with offensive capability.

This is probably more of a "pre-eventive" strike...heck, a war of aggression, but I believe this particular federation to be a possible threat eventually. They have 2 countries on my border and another close behind.

I just want one of the countries for myself - my partner in crime could keep the other, bordering, country just as long as he/she plans to keep it. I want to surround my main country with slaves/friends.

Lawrence of Arabia · March 30, 2003, 21:48

azazele you are killing me. now i dont have enough workers to produce enough interceptors.

dudemanjack · March 31, 2003, 00:27

I just created a heavy tanks corp to supply myself with tanks...offensive AA batteries, and heavy artillery also. However, I built them in other countries with my Enterprise. I plan to build more military corporations also to supply my military needs with contracts.

Az · March 31, 2003, 00:56

Lawrence: There's a War going on! You've got to chip in for the war effort. you can see my corps are loosing workers, too.

GeneralTacticus · March 31, 2003, 04:22

Ok guys, I have a real problem right now: I'm trying to order some quality upgrades for my companies, but when I do, it tells me that:

Quote:

The price should be greater than or equal to 33843865

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Skanky Burns · March 31, 2003, 07:08

Set it to best price, immediate, or put a price in that you want to start bidding at and choose fixed price.

GeneralTacticus · March 31, 2003, 07:17

I've tried the latter, and that was what got me that message.

Az · March 31, 2003, 07:30

it seems that the price has to be at least half of the market price, or something.

Az · March 31, 2003, 07:46

Lonestar, check this out

International News:

Quote:

Sun Apr 2, 2124 The Dictatorship of Neophyte has declared war on Lonestar Alliance. War will start on 02-08-2124.

makes you feel lucky for leaving that country, huh?

GeneralTacticus · March 31, 2003, 07:46

And yet I'm trying to bid above market price (to try and keep one of my other corps afloat), and yet it still shows this message up.

Az · March 31, 2003, 08:05

try to bid at THAT price, I guess.

Ok, I am now switching to a new target, since it appears that the C^3 has purchased some weaponary. Therefore, and due to that fact, It seems that I will attack uncle Joe aka "Heimat Al Kabir".

The problem is that it's insanely high, compared to the actual market price.

Az · March 31, 2003, 08:28

General: I don't know, then

dudemanjack: nope. I am far far away.

dudemanjack · March 31, 2003, 09:17

Azazel: If you're just gonna use tanks, you will need a lot more than 1500. 500 helicopters...

I would buy like 500-600 offensive AA batteries, like 2-3 thousand tanks, and 2-3 thousand heavy artillery.

Attack with the AA batteries, then go in with the tanks/artillery
