WTF? DEFEND AGAINST WHOM? his 400 helos? I thought you said that AA rip through helos. ?

and who's going to stop me onland? his >500tanks and artillery?

These numbers you present are way too high. What exactly are AA missile batteries going to do with the his tanks?

Hey Datajack, I can see your Franit Empire in my local Wine's ranking, you are two spots only ahead of me

Azazel:
How come you did not buy and are not using any kind of Conventional missiles, that would have been my first weapon if I where to attack a country.

First: hit their AA with my missiles
Second: hit everything else with my bombers and helis
Third: take the president of the conquered country and execute him in the pubblic square of his capital.

Uhmm... what do you think of this plan

He's got missile interceptor batteries. A few of them, but still.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

If you are only using tanks, they don't do anything to the helicopters. And if you are only using 1500 tanks, they will probably be destroyed against 500 helicopters. It's much easier to conquer if you have extra anyway.

If you were to increase the number of tanks you planned to use, you can probably still get through just by brute force, but I'd still get a bunch of AA batteries because tanks sure aren't cheap, and they will take out helicopters. The fewer helicopters the country has, the better. Oh, and reguardless. Get a LOT of tank ammo. I used like 2 million grenades in my last war.

My brother told he is not interested in "quello stupido gioco di merda" (translated: that stupid sh*t game).

So if any of you want to take over his country tell me, and I will sell his defenses over to... ME and allow you a free conquest.

(I hate it when my bro do like this, as he often look like he is very interested in something and than abandon it).

Not good.
I hope you get a new connection soon.

Hmm, looks like we will need a new federation leader while you are away too.
I'll take over in the meantime and then when you get back you can have it back again. Or we can start a poll for who should lead us. Or something.

I tried building a corp in The Republic of Euskadi, but with absolutely no low-level managers, it made my job somewhat difficult.

Lawrence, you should kill off "Boulder Advanced Quality Produ" and "Derry Advanced Effectivity Pro" as they are costing you much money every month. Billions. With the workers freed up from them, your other companies should then have 100% employment or close to, and others can start companies (if you still want them to).

Also, if you haven't done so already, set the automatic systems to NOT build companies in your country. They choose poorly.

You don't have the offensive assets yet, and it is better that you won't get any, at this point in time.
It's good to know about your brother getting in the action. we should have a strong apolyton presence here in no time.

Lonestar: a word of warning: to your east, and to your brother's south, there is a very dangerous opponent, relatively. fortunately, at this point, the moron has forgot to turn off the secrecy option, so you can inspect his forces, and by that, I mean his OFFENSIVE INDEX.

so, "Books Borough" is your brother?

I send a mail about the reset issue and this is what they send me back:

Thanks for your reaction.



This is to clarify this issue:

Currently nothing is reset and will not be for some time
We will introduce a feature to allow you to move your country to Golden rainbow if you wish to do so. This feature will be limited but the work of building an economy and an army will be preserved.
Some time before the introduction of the MOVE COUNTRY feature, individual players will see their reset date on their home page and may decide to have the reset or move their country. Everyone will have many weeks to decide.
Any step we may take will be announced on time on the game news.
Resets when implemented will not be for the whole world at one date, but for each user, depending on the date of registration, separately.

Simcountry is run by a group of very experienced developers working full time on the game. As we said before, our finances are fine and we can continue but we are spending large amounts of money to keep it running.

If we want to keep the development of the game in the long run, funds will be needed to cover the cost.

We never thought that $ 5 per month will represent a huge problem.

W3creative does not intend to stop free playing. The free worlds will continue to run and will be extended if needed. However, we are in the process of creating two different games.

The limited game, with many features; where the competition and ability to build an economy and an army are limited to three or four months. We intend to somewhat ease the policy of winning gold awards.

The extended game, with a fast growing number of advanced features and an unlimited development period. Our intention is to add more worlds with other parameters and rules.

Good to see.

I'm buying 25 cruise missile batteries (after stocking up on 1000 cruise missiles) and so will also soon be declaring war. I don't know on who yet though.

Awesome. I'm trying to take all the countries around my original country...sorta like carving a little empire. There are two problems though: the computer countries around me were former player countries with defense index in the 80's, and there are 3 player controlled countries.

I just declared war on a player country. He's got pathetic air defense, plus I have about 6,000 tanks; 3,000 artillery; 1,500 anti-aircraft missles; 100 fighters; and just bought 212 bombers. It should be a really easy war. A bonus is that he only logs on about once every 10 days it seems, so by the time he knows about the war he won't even have a country anymore!

I do have concern about 2 of my neighbors. I'm more powerful then them right now, but they are in a federation. The federation has like 5-6 countries in the same region. Some of them already have nukes and they are arming. Luckily, they seem to not be very developed yet, and hopefully when they see "Mentop No More Ceos", followed by "The president of this country owns 4 other countries", they will be deterred.

I have also decided that after this war, it is time to start buying strategic weapons, and to create a large air force.

I think 5$/month is quite a lot too. The game is fun, but not that spectacularily good and for that amount of money you can buy a new game each year and get to keep it as well.
