Imperial Fantasia
Chairman
The British Empire
the other thread is getting crowded. Lets move the war discussion here.
lol.
Yeah way to many people on the other thread this one is more peacful and quiet

go there!
Hmmm. For an undefended, undamaged fort, it appears to take a variable number of Jeeps to destroy, varying from somewhere around 900-1200 Jeeps per fort. I have not considered distance in my methods, so that may account for some of the variability. I am currently testing HAV's.
-Nimz
The number of HAV's required seems to depend on the distance from the target, but I am unable (read unwilling) to determine whether the dependence is linear. For destroying defenseless forts, I see little difference in attacking with HAV's alone or Jeeps alone, with a range of 900-1200 HAV's needed as well.
Coming up: HAV's and Jeeps in tandem!
HAV's working in tandem with Jeeps seems to help slightly. 510 of each is enough to destroy most forts, but apparently not all of them. 550 to 600 of each appears to be plenty for just about everything. Also, new evidence points toward distance not being the primary cause of variability in the number of weapons needed to destroy the forts. Perhaps w3c has already implemented the feature of quality mattering for weapons. In that case, the variability may be from the forts having variable quality values.
Hmm. I think that .. nevermind.
Man they blocked Ebaums at my work from me a long time ago, they blocked Ernies house of whoopass too :/ Now all I have is simcountry to play
Oh the humanity!
omg that sux. I remember I once went to a site when I worked (gaming) and they blocked all at work, I know because of me, lol
ps: nice stuff spassky. keep it coming
Well, I might consider keeping it coming, but I really need to focus on school. I'm sure you know all about that. There is one other deterrent, though: Aside from the 1521 OAAMBs, (with their 4866 missiles), I don't have any other weapons.
I chose to focus on forts with my commentary above b/c Nimzovich had a bunch of forts placed in it again. Besides, I wanted to get a rough estimate of how well a multitargeting idea would work, at least with cheap, ammo-less weapons against unguarded forts.
My calculations, based on the above posts, indicate that a combination of 10,000 HAVs with 10,000 Jeeps could be split evenly 18 ways (maybe use the half Jeep I read about somewhere else-- *pause* --or maybe not), and still have a high probability of destroying all targets. That would be 108 forts in each 4 minute round, roughly translating to 6 hrs of nonstop attacking from one country to destroy the ~9000 forts you had in the Second Republic.
That's all the war analysis I'm willing to do at this point in time--I don't plan to be more than merely humdrum as a warrior in this game (at least not in the near future). I think I'll rest on my laurels for now. :P
lmao. That is great stuff. I was never good nor wanted to do all those intricate game calculations.
In the War and Peace forum, where I originally posted my multitargetting idea, I posted another version of the analysis above. There I forgot to mention that the cost of maintaining a constant number of forts against a determined attacker would be 16M * 18K = about 290B $E per game month.
Even at my economic peak, that would bankrupt me in about 3-4 game years. lol, Second Republic, with about 30T (if I remember right) would last at least 6 game years without touching the money it would make in the elapsed time.
I think I'm starting to ramble, so I'm going to go home now.
It's all good since it has been nearly impossible to get my 11 forts on order for the past 3 game years I think we have little to fear from 2k forst these days.. and it just went up to 8 companies worldwide building forts now...yay!
Hmmm. Might make my CEO build forts. Get a large slice of the market MUAHAHAHAHAHA
(Oh, and it's 9 companies now)
not to mention the..400 soldiers and 200 officers. I have the exact numbers at home, I'll post it later tonight.
alot of forts will not save your asses guys, so just give up on that idea
Not depending on forts its just pissing me off to see it stay in my tade window for so long :/
News Bulletin:
After years of tolerating declines in government salaries, government employees of Spassky have finally said, enough is enough! "We are finally realizing the power we really have to make sure we get fair wages," one government employee said. "I just hope it's not too late to reverse the trend that has sent salaries to 25% of the international standard salaries (ISS)," bemoaned a high tech executive, "I barely make it to 5 digit income, and the national average salary for people like me is nearly 6 digits!"
National opinion is fairly pessimistic about the likelihood of a salary rebound for government employees, since most citizens are apathetic about the issue.
Meanwhile, people employed in state owned corporations are enjoying a relatively comfortable life, with salaries ranging from 2.3 to 2.5 times the ISS. "I don't see what the big deal is," stated one such employee. "If they want higher salaries, they can work for a corporation in this country. Lord knows we have some vacancies left in many high paying jobs." Others are outraged, being denied this option. "I was drafted after making big bucks at the state corporations, and now I'm forced to fight in some stupid war, and I'm getting peanuts for it! I could be making 6-7 times as much right now in the private sector."
-------
And on that note, another 100+ forts bite the dust. Nimzovich is finally fortless!
alot of forts will not save your asses guys, so just give up on that idea
;)
We shall see. Muahahahahahahaa. cough!
Anybody else look at the Sim Market tool recently? It seems that the only world with a glut of forts is GR. Everywhere else there's a huge demand and negligible supply. Do you think we could reproduce the world wine conspiracy (actually, I think that was in KB, and it definitely was way before my time) with forts?
just had to one-up your ;)
I think horde put in an order for 10k a while back, thank him for the shortage ;)
Wartime, so you gonna fed up and not fight us mano a mano? Well, two in fed versus two in fed? lol
And I cannot believe that THE soviet union whom I chatted to so much has decided to side against me. This is truly a new low for communism
10,000 Jeeps and 10,000 HAVs aren't quite enough to destroy a town in one attack
Not that Nimzovich has any more towns to destroy I think I'll destroy the cities before calling it a night
10k yeah right lol I put in an order for 11 one day and then 288 the following 2 game years ago :D Just got the 11 yesterday YAY!
yeah, it's too bad soviet reset though.
Isnt there a war thread for all this junk.
I don't think he would have fought me again even if he didn't reset. We have a nice neighbor poilcy since before the resets :oP and I hope you weren't the one feeding him survival info in those convos Sal :oP because my vengeance will be swift and stuff when I am done with my futurama marathon and get off the couch..... Oh has my life really become this?! ::cries::
YAY ever since I posted my forts started getting delivered.
I think there is a war thread but we use that for fed discussions. I think you should try the shut the fook up thread though. You'd fit in great there.
LOL!
then post in the right fed asshole moron.
No need for name calling. and if you'd read what I just put it says we post about fed stuff in the war thread. How are we supposed to talk about feds and war in the same thread? It would just get confusing
your an asshole moron.
*points and laughs*
IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
war will start soon
omfg. the fed vote didnt appear to declare it, so I am doing it manually. I am ready for you with my #1 war rank, wartime. I realize war rank isnt everything, so I look to an engaging and fun battle, even at the risk of losing an entire two weeks of work. The best of luck to you wartime, I await the start of hostilities
And to imperial fantasia, you insulted my ally, bitch. Come and register over here so we can 0wn you.
We are only trying to make your threads popular. See, the lack of activity makes all federations a hopeless cause, so yours was doomed to inactivity if it werent for us. So... I love the British Empire!!
LMFAO!!!@everything
so I take it Horde has the tanks and AAMB's?
and the defence....
and the strat weaps?
I realize war rank isnt everything,..
yeah, no shit.
so the fed vote isn't working?
is this why I'm fighting only one of you?
lol, once again w3 has left fed votes screwed. The vote passed but it seemed neither of us were declared. So I did it manually. As for all the offense and defense, dont worry, Ive got a few things up my sleeve
Horde will join the battle after I am either defeated or well on my way to bruising you. However, I have looked at timing and I may be f00ked (hope I can do it before I have to catch a flight). I most likely can, but Ill see how it goes, I guess ;)
now that I think of it, I will be there before the war. I am glad we have 0wned yet another thread
Just as a fair note because I don't know if either of you play on GR but during the last big war there was major problems with the auto defense taking over even if it was marked off in the auto section. As far as I know it hasn't been fixed yet so I would keep a close eye on your defensive deployment throughout the war and not depend on it to much.
Oh and lack of activity makes all feds boring except for ours. so come join the "Kill Wartime Concubine Reborn Club" where we promote free speech and peace!
Does that mean you cant shut auto defense off, or that it wont defend you if you have it on?
Everyone, please join the "Kill Wartime Concubine Reborn Club"!!!! Just post on this thread if you would like to join.
The way it happened to me and Riv was you would deploy your defense manually and after a few game days it would recall and then autodeploy your troops throughout your country. whether you had your auto on or not it reverted. I haven't heard that it's been fixed yet so I figured I'd give a warning. Especially since last night wartime has his defense deployed his way and now it is autodeployed from the looks of it.
can i join?
that kinda sucks.
but I think the only thing that will save my bacon are my DH's anyways. troop deployment is kinda irrelivent. don't worry though, I will have mine deployed the day the war(s) start.
I was believing that I might win the war last night, but since whored joined the fight I might not. the only thing that would have slowed me down is DH's, and horde is loaded with them.
nice tactic with the defence. lets hope for your sake that the fed defence is working proper
btw, I dropped out of soviets fed because he couldn't help me. he reset and lost all his defence...but I've got another 15k DH's on the way so that should make up for it
I think you spelled my name wrong
I wish all the combatants in the upcoming battles the best of luck (with the automation, especially), and the best of fun. I would add to that, do what you do best, but with Salamat included, that might be somewhat risqué.
By the way, what happens if someone guesses wrong?
Omg! I just realize that I have the second largest standing army (below Eskon). I have a larger army than Horde and Macalania combined! (I can't compare with their war ranks, tho) Just curious, my costs for paying all those ppl are just a hair above 9B $E. I wonder what other ppl's military budgets for existing armies are.
Crap. I just changed my gov't salaries, and they have to go up by 5%
Now they will be at 30% of ISS. Methinks my military costs will jump considerably as a result. 
well, wartime, since some of my military is autodestructing, this will make things interesting
Last month it was around 77 bil with the prewar ceo dumpings but I think it was around 24 a month steady before.
this months military cost was $54B with no ceo dumpings except a few h-bombs and strat bombers.
I think you spelled my name wrong
oops, honest mistake.
didn't you have 60k Heavy Art and 100k jeeps with 2 off bases?
now you have half that...or am I reading your map wrong?
well if it was an honest mistake I guess it is OK. :/
seeing that you have so much fun
here is a suggestion :
if you wanna hijack something go to http://britishempire.proboards21.com/index.cgi
its completly under no control
its completly under no control
ok, that was possibly the worst sentence I have seen from you. lol
yeah, it's about as bad is: "Simcountry: the largest game you have ever seen!"
Okay, the financial mechanics of this game are officially and completely f'd up. The gov't salaries (including my army) went up to 120% of the previous total, but I am paying my army 400-500 M $E less than before. The graph for education cost looks similar. Why would increasing gov't salaries make gov't operations cost less? (I can't really tell with health b/c I recently bought hospitals in preparation for when W3C decides to make them matter.)
I guess I shouldn't really be that surprised, since the following would be an accurate portrail.
Simcountry: the game that never ceases to amaze you with its inconsistency.
keeps the game alive don't it?
hehehe. As a result of my recent warlike actions, I no longer have the largest army. Something about 70000 Jeeps being destroyed en route to taking over Crudland.
My total army size got cut by more than 1/2, from nearly 900000 people to a little more than 400000 people. Unemployment jumped by about 11%. It's okay tho. I'll have a large army again soon. MUAHAHA -Nimz
not that I really care, but I kinda do because it's bullshit...how can this dude Scotland be so far ahead in score when he has a total bullshit crap country?
if this guy was a slave in a larger empire he would have severe rebel attacks...
and he's 200+ points ahead, what total bullshit.
this game is fubar to the max. I'm sick of it..I think I'll stop playing again.
i want to join a fed.. Im pretty new to this gmae so if neone could help me out.. I'm not looking for handouts just some helpful tips.. and i want to join afed
british empire looking for new members? - as far as i understand the britsh empire assimilates.
thats harsh we are genrally looknig for new memebers to help us run this federation
omg, not windrich again
