You have a single city. Don't make food, even if there was no penalty - it's only efficient at high land areas.

Thank you for the numbers! That is, like, an order of magnitude less than I expected - but makes sense.

Yeah, that's fair and what I would recommend as well - but I'm asking specifically about the in-game tutorial and objectives for the sake of experiment.

Just a quick and fast question: How much money does completing the tutorial and all objectives give a new player starting out? I'm bored and wanting to work out starting builds for new players, and would like to know how much money they could theoretically have to play around with.

You're a war dodger, who would *want* to risk resources like that?

Yeah, that is definitely the most severe disconnect i've seen with newbies. I think it'd also be good, if tangential, to give a general economic roadmap to said newbies on effective city builds / the best way to gain money (raiding and/or selling raw resources) EDIT: Additionally, it may be good to explain the general progress of a nation's economy - from mainly raws, to mainly manufacturing, to farming; based on the nation's general infrastructure/land levels

Since I made an OWF post about it, guess I should've actually made a post about this. I've returned to P&W as of May 1st (last month). I had left the game on 1 month VM due to an overwhelming about of drama and salt in late March, generally revolving around my friends and (indirectly) my alliance - specifically against KT. In that month I had time to process and reflect on things; and in this month i've been continuing to try and keep my calm both in game and real life. I'm doing better with my job as a junior dev, and can worry less about making rent; which I believe was the primary reason behind my stress. Now that I am [have been] back, I hope to return to the levels of kindness and wholesomeness that I displayed during Duck Hunt. Thank you @Comrade Joe and @Redarmy for helping me feel comfortable returning. Thanks to @Zei-Sakura Alsainn for everything as well, despite disagreements sometimes. Thanks @Adrienne and @BigMorf for being some of the first to welcome me back. En garde, frenemies in Hollywood! And I'm glad to fight alongside my comrades in Roasis Inc. as well. TL;DR Back after a month of dealing with mental health, reporting a month late b/c oops, glad to be back and fighting with and against friends.

All the above advice is great. I've had times where I was stressed with my alliance and wanted to hightail it. But, given how things have been the last few months, i'm glad I didn't. For a micro to survive you need a strong protector, a strong military, or a strong community that's fine with getting curbstomped together. From the above conversation it seems like you've had none of those. And an alliance takes a lot of work to maintain - work that even myself (and I consider myself mildly well-connected) absolutely couldn't handle.

Roasis 🤝 Hollywood Burning down pixel farmers. I believe it's a cause we can all rally behind; except the pixel farmers.

Last proper gander for me, but @Deulos's meme inspired me

Well, you did it. You took my one chance at happiness and crushed it, crushed it into tiny bite sized pieces. I really did expect better of you, but I guess i'm a loser for that too. Don't bother beiging me tomorrow, i'll tell them you all won in a triumphant march. So thanks, thanks for nothing. In all seriousness, I can't support myself playing this game anymore. The double standard for fascism in this game is absurd. Apparently it's okay to support literal white nationalists, but thinking they don't belong is too far and would dogpile us. Apparently realpolitik is more important than any political hill to die on. Apparently it's okay to think gay people are disordered, but not okay to say that opinion is not a good one. The level of salt that I eat playing this game far outweighs the joy I get from it, and even my dearest ASM comrades. It drains me way more than is worth my time compared to Valheim, Paradox titles, LEGO, and my non-PW comrades. Thanks @Redarmy and @Pasky Darkfire for opening up their lives to me. Thank you @Comrade Joe for giving me a chance so quickly into my tenure in this game. Thank you @Akuryo for being on my side in almost every debate and argument. Thank you @Aiya and @Menhera for being our Blankie Gang comrades in GNO. For yinz, I still wish to be friends. But this game is just self-harm for me. Consider this a win, KT - thanks to the liberals, yinz have free reign over Orbis's politics. Peace.

The NAPs are inherently fine, imho. However, no punishment for breaking the NAP is just appeasement, plain and simple. If we were in a world where treaties meant anything, there'd be more than just Oasis fighting KT for violating it. Just like with the American impeachments, it just proves that the NAPs are meaningless if there's no effective punishment. Why sign them if there won't be any enforcement?

Clearly a beet shield

Well... this was fast. Best of luck to y'all.

Bold to break the NAP, especially formally.

Uh, what?? Its almost like... hear me out.... having corporations is not left wing? It's almost like every power of the war enforced restrictions on businesses because, yknow, world war? Or do I need to mention Hitler literally wrote in Mein Kampf about Marxists being terrible??? Like, the Reich imprisoned socialists in the same camps they imprisoned the Jews. https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&q=socialism+definition Look at those Hitler quotes and tell me how it argues for community-owned production???

Take care, Tarroc. I wish the best for you, your family, and your friends. We've all made !@#$ ups in our life, but we can all rally together to wish you best care for this nightmare situation.

@Alex Forum Name: Aqua-Corpsman Link to Post: Nature of Violation: - Name Calling - abusive or insulting language referring to a person or group. Specifically: Using the term "retard" to refer to somebody, a slur against the mentally disabled. - Flaming - posts targeted at a player in an effort to anger, hurt, insult, harass, or provoke. Specifically: Calling somebody an oxygen thief, a pogue, and using my name specifically as a strawman argument by calling me a fascist if the event in question was caused by "anarchists".

Bruh, it's been 2 months. Nobody cares. Only thought my mind in terms of P&W politics has been the FA moves [or lack thereof] for my alliance - not what happened in a dogpile that changed very little.

Yeah, that's where we agree. The Republicans tend to deflect from the President's responsibility by saying "But Democrats defended BLM looting" [they didn't]. It's annoying.

I'm of the belief that the current President did fan the flames of what happened, with the discussion of "fighting" and how the protestors can affect change, specifically "We're going to march down to the Capitol." While I understand the House Republican angle of "That's still free speech and he didn't directly incite the conflict", Guliani referring to "We're going to have trial by combat" definitely pushed things over the line into incitement. To me, the incident at the Capitol was indeed domestic far-right terrorism, and needs to be curbed. In regards to the argument that Democrats were supporting the looting of businesses and destruction in the BLM protests, no. There were leftists and protestors who did condone such looting - usually as an argument of "They've taken so much from us that we're just taking back what is ours", but those were not democrats; those were lefties who are often as opposed to House Dems as conservatives! And I say this as one of those leftists. In regards to the idea that the Capitol riot was pushed by Antifa... that's a pure conspiracy theory with no basis in fact. Many of the most prominent arrested, incl the guy with the odd fashion sense, are well known in the Qanon community as members of said community.
