Niccolo Machiavelli

Sorry, it was a preemtive post, i noticed that the game timer has changed, it was just weird to me because turns used to change on even hours

Since the game has come back online, it appears that turn changes arn't working. After turn change, no new resources/money is generatedad and things like city/project building turn countdowns are not decreasing, same with government type changing. Anyone else seeing this?

I agree, it's a game where you have to look ahead and plan well but also quite leisurely. Wish it had more real world variables but Sheepy has done extremely well.

You had to pay money to create an acount?

That's not really the point. The problem is that i took a $20 million alliance loan and i still seem to have it event hough it was taken after the 27th, so i'm wondering what else may or may not have been rolled back.

Does anyone know if the rollback will reverse the time skip? The time skip allowed me to build a new city so i'm wondering if the rollback means that i won't be able to rebuild it. Thanks

Ah, i see, it's nice to have a flashback to explain everything. No wonder i was confused, i was new at that time, so i probably didn't even notice that there was anything out of place going on.

Based on his nation page, would i be correct in thinking that last187is back is someone who was once banned for something? It looked as though he only made an account to troll people.

The P&W server seems to be down for me. Its the message the pops up during turn change, only, its been going on for an hour. Is it just me? Or is this a scheduled server shutdown?

Yes, but that would be 4000 infrastructure, i doubt anyone would actually do that. It would be far more efficient to build another city.

No, because commerce just means effective buisness, so you can have high unemployment, but still have a triving buisness sector. Prime example is America, largest ecconomy in the world but high unemployment rates compared to some less commercial countries.

Hmm, this brings me to another idea for the game. If your approval rating drops below 100% then maybe crime rates could be increased inversely proportional. So with each point of approval rating lower than 100, your crime rates would all increase by an x amount. Perhaps each point of approval below 100 would increase crime by 0.25% or something along those lines. I edited this because i figured i should explain why crime would go up as approval ratings go down. If the idea wasn't clear on my part, it is because in real world politics, discontent among the citizenry causes protests, riots and other anti government actions, ergo higher crimes rates. Just wanted to be clear in case anyone thinks it doesn't make sense.

IDEA! Your unemployment rate (If added) Effects your approval rating!! :D Thanks, it didn't even occur to me, but yes, unemployment should affect approval rating

Not neccessarily true. If building more improvements would raise pollution levels too high, then it would be worse to leave the slots empty. Furthermore, slots may be left emty if infrastructure was recently purchased and there isn't much money for expensive improvemnts.

I think in that case, there would just be 100 percent employment.

Your right, people would most likely complain. Although, most people use most if not all of their slots unless they're saving for something, so i don't think it would be an issue. I think it would add a dimension of challenge in handling ecconomics.

i hope i'm posting in the right section of the forum, but i think an unemployment/poverty rate would be an interesting mechanic. The idea behind it would be simple (though i'm not sure about its implementation). Basically, based on a citiy's, and by extension, q nation's, total infrustructure and population as well as the number of slots filled or not filled, there would be a certain unemployed populace. For example, if a city has 1500 infrastrucutre and a population of 150,000 people but there were five slots left unfilled, then thet ratio of the population in relation to city infrastruture would be unemployed (5 slots equals 250 infra which is 1/6th of 1500, aka 16.66 percent). So in this case 16.6 percent of the population would be unemployed, equaling a total of 24990 unemployed. The unemployed would not generate revenue for the nation because there's no incomme to tax, thus reducing the nation's net revenue. Just an idea, curious to know what everyone thinks.

I logged in today and i had accumulated eneugh military action points for ground attacks in a couple of wars i'm currently in. I selected the number of soldiers to be deployed and whether they should use minitions and hit the ground battle button. However, once i hit the ground battle button, the game took me to a blank page. When i went back, my MAPs had not been consumed. I havn't tried airstrikes or naval battles but ground battles seem to be down. Has anyone had the same problem? Any comment on the issue is appreciated.

Based on everone's response, it must really be a bug. Thanks guys. This is not good! These wars are costing me money! THE HORROR!!

I was trying to launch the final broung battle to finish up a war but when i clicked on the ground battle option, it led a blank page. Instead of seeing the usual statistics about attacking soldiers, defending soldiers and what not, the page was simply blank. All the stats were gone and the outton to start the ground attack was gone as well. The player ad was still there, as was the side bar and P&wW logo, but that was it. Please let me know if anybody has had a similar experience and if so, whether or not this is a bug or some other issue. All help is appreciated.

Its a bug, and throughout this day, about 5 threads like this have poped up. I have the same problem.

Same problem, there are now three threads on this.

Smae problem. How long have you guys had it? Maybe this will become a petition for a bug fix.

"Theres a big old blue resource bar at the top of your screen when you are logged in" Sorry, i never noticed. I suppose it was a stupid question. .
