Nobody else I'd rather fight than SK, so I'm glad it came to this. Into the fray

Thanks, it was the stockpile, solved now

So I have 18 refineries + the Bauxite Works, which according to my calculation should be producing 220.32 tons daily (18*1.02*12) However, my revenue page says I'm producing 162 tons daily, which translates into 0.75 tons per refinery per turn (The normal rate as if I don't have Bauxite Works) (162/18/12=0.75) I've added an extra bauxite mine to see if I was missing raw materials, although the revenue page said I was producing exactly what I'm consuming, now I have extra bauxite and the aluminum production is still 0.75 per turn per refinery. Please advise on what I need to do, or if this is a bug.

You mentioned them spawning randomly every 30 days, does this mean they're removed from their current holders, or new duplicates appear? Another question, what if a player is in possession of a colour or continent specific treasure and they change colours or continents, do they keep or lose the treasure they hold? I also noticed that the treasures are not present in their assumed continents, is this a glitch or have those nations changed continents? Examples: El Dorado - Jugoslavija - Europe (Should be South America) Rosetta Stone - Exodas - South America (Should be Africa) Honjo Masamune - Malonia - Africa (Should be Asia) Also, same for colours: Examples: Smoky Quartz - Resvernas - Beige (Should be Brown) Tourmaline - Ennatria - Yellow (Should be Pink) Ruby - Imperial Soviet Union - Green (Should be Red) Emerald - Yuktobanian Republics - Yellow (Should be Green)

Welcome on board o/II o/VE

I liked them better when they were over-priced, better deals were made, now it's stagnant more or less. Bring us the prices back up

Congratulations are in order then

Yes, I've been offloading some stuff at your shores over the last couple of days.

I'm from and live in Egypt. Perhaps this gives me the view from the other side of the fence, being plagued by the presence of a similar group here in Egypt, the Ansar Bait Al Maqdes group in the Sinai peninsula, which is even considered an arm of ISIS. Also, I personally know a few fundamentalists/extremists who have not turned violent, but I'm aware of their ideologies and have discussed with them on numerous occasions. I also come from a mixed culture/religion family, so I'm firmly routed in the Liberal camp. Primarily, this whole reviving of Jihadist ideals is based on finding a foreign enemy. In the absence of such an enemy, those movements dwindle and die. The trigger for this modern wave of Jihad dates back to 1948, the beginning of a formal Arab - Israeli conflict, so long as this conflict exists and escalates, there will be Jihadist waves, simply because the way the leaders of extremist groups portray the conflict as a religious, not a political one. They've reduced the struggle for Palestine into a dispute for the conversion of the Aqsa mosque into a Synagogue basically. The US and European stance on the matter has helped them concrete that image and portray it further into a Crusade by the West into the Middle East. What the world is fighting today is a group of zealots who believe they're fighting against a crusade, killing them off will not solve the problem, more will spawn. The common enemy those Jihadists are rallying against today, is US foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly the support for Israel and the occupation of Iraq, as well as the presence of US troops in the region. So long as those 3 issues remain unresolved, more people will rally to their cause. In Egypt, we've had minor conflicts between the extremist Muslims and the Christians. Both are to blame for this in my opinion. The Muslims are taking their frustration out on the Christian minority, while the Christians are always threatening going to international court and asking for US support and even invasion of Egypt over the smallest of matters. This whole atmosphere creates enmity between everyone involved. But, back to the main issue, ISIS, and before it Al Qaeda. So long as all the West and the US particularly do is military solutions, the problem will keep escalating and it will be prolonged into perpetuity. Other means must be sought, primarily a final resolution to the Palestine/Israel conflict. This means sanctions, on both sides, not just Palestine. Some semblance of global justice towards this particular issue must be made. For as long as the world sanctions the Palestinians for lobbing missiles, while it turns a blind eye to Israeli settlements (Which by the way go against all UN resolutions), more ISIS zealots will spawn, no matter how hard the forces of the coalition hit. Because they're basically addressing the symptom, not the disease. The symptom is terrorism, the disease is that the Arabs have lost hope of ever gaining anything legally so long as the US leads the globe politically, and as such, are resorting to tactics that most resemble vigilantes. This is a vigilante case on a major scale. Just some food for thought.

Yeah, I'm exploring the economic options still. Still trying to find out the social side.

I sure hope so

Thanks all for the warm welcomes

In theory I agree. However, human nature has taught us that it's an innate tendency to always want more. This in turn will lead to a cyclic centralization of resources with a few elite and a system will need to emerge to regulate such centralization.

Ah, SRD, I thought you were going hippie

We're still finding our way around, just still building up the community here, then we'll see what can be done
