yeah maybe u can transer, but it takes days just to be able to attack a target, and building up and army can be harder then it should.

wait till you see what you hav to do to actually take a country now!

that is what elf is referring to.It was sarcasm aimed at the game not you...so chill out!

the war system of this game is so messed up now that it is not worth fighting anymore, and is frustrating many of the "seasoned" players.

So you might want to refrain from annoying people until you know what the hell you're doing.

Just a suggestion.

50% employed won't last. :( The Twelfth Republic is already down to 26.20% employed. (Geez--11 million is low pop?!?)

lol, Im not sure what Im gonna do about that one, Im building as fast as possible. If I get evicted oh well. I conquered it only to kill! :)

Low? lolz, well comparitively it was. A few million lower than that, and war is practically impossible. It took a heck of a lot of ammo, thats for sure. ;)

I would think that with the new war rules (e.g. using % of pop killed instead of # of ppl killed) would make it easier to kill 3m pop countries (Do those exist anymore, with the population explosion that recently happened?).

lol, not really. It is basically impossible to conquer anything 7million pop or below

Around 7-10mil is pretty difficult for those without huge arsenals.

Oh and I didnt mean 11 mil is low in a bad way, after all I wanted to conquer it ;). I just meant it starts to get difficult around there and lower. :O

Hmm. I conquered a < 7m pop country in WG about the same time as Dreadnaught posted that article. I hadn't destroyed all the targets, and my arsenal was essentially 40-50k Heavy Jeeps. I did notice the miracle ammo appearances, but I assumed it was because I gave the base a chance to partially rebuild itself plus the delivery delay. What I noticed in my war was that the war index of the country dropped slowly each attack, then one attack it dropped a bunch. Then it dropped slowly from there. That repeated a couple times.
I think that when it drops slowly it is an underestimated drop. When end of month calculations, or whatever, come along, it corrects the underestimate, but it doesn't show until you do some damage.
Either that, or I got lucky. :)

Sorry Sal, I was just trying to make an observation. I didn't mean to rub it in. But if it makes you feel any better, I am projected to reach 11m pop in 3 rl days, and we are on the same continent.

Hmm. I just tried to conquer a country with pop = 10,230,853. All targets are destroyed to the max. War situation index = 6.9. I see what you mean, Sal. Maybe for some screwed up reason war is easier to win in WG now, than FB. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I went thru a month change in WG, but the month is being slow to change right now in FB.
I'll keep on attacking--missiles and defenses at the base and airport. That's all I can even try, at this point. :/

Yep, my war with a country is taking insanely long. Since I have to destroy practically everything, it takes a TON of ammo, so war with even a single player now takes an eternity (relatively for me :) ) to finish. This coming from war rank 3 now... :/

explode! :) :O

Apparently, all I succeeded in doing with all my attacking last night (from here the w3c clock is about 8 hrs fast) was a 1.3M reduction of population and the destruction of the economy of my c3 neighbor, THE US OF HELLS CHILDREN.

Something is definitely amok in the war simulator. Based on the damage that I did to the different indices, I calculated a rough estimate by hand of what the war situation index should be.
All forts/bases destroyed = -25%
War damage of >1600B (1% for every 48B) = -33.3%
87% drop in Business index (1/3 % for each 1% of Business index) = -29%
Population(% killed) = -12.2%
Real Unemployment (unemployed/(employed + unemployed)) = 75.35% --> -25.1%
(It still says that 78.81% of workers are employed, which is clearly not the case when the numbers are crunched.)

That's over 124% drop in war situation index. Even if the claimed unemployment is used, that's still over 106% drop in war situation index. And I quoted a conservative estimate for how much war damage I did. What sucks is that when I started attacking again tonight, the war damage went down to 4B. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
