  1. Alliance Projects - I had the idea for Alliance based projects that can be purchased by any member with management rights and affect all accepted members within the alliance that purchases one. These are made to be purchased for alliances hence why they have hefty prices and I tried to balance the effects with either slight drawbacks or prerequisites. Basic Req: 500,000 alliance infrastructure per slot for an Alliance Project hence if you got 1,000,000 alliance Infrastructure you got 2 slots open. Also can only be deleted/purchased after 90 days. **Alternative idea: All project would be temporary limited to 180days and have a reset timer for every 50 days for purchase/deletion. In this version there is no infra prerequisite. (prices below have been adjusted to reflect this alternative) International Monetary Fund - $550,000,000 [ 70,000 Lead / 80,000 Iron / 30,000 Steel / 20,000 Aluminum ] Boost all nations commerce cap up to 127% but requires an International Trade Center to take advantage. Global Reserve Bank - $300,000,000 [ 90,000 Lead / 100,000 Iron / 30,000 Steel ] Allows you to store 15% of the current alliance bank in a reserve fund which can NOT be looted. However funds can only be deposited/withdrawn once every 7 days. World Health Organization - $225,000,000 [ 60,000 Iron / 50,000 Bauxite / 15,000 Steel / 700,000 Food ] Reduce disease -3%, pollution -50 points and boost population by 2% in all nations. However reduces gross income by -1%. Social Security -$400,000,000 [ 65,000 Iron / 65,000 Gasoline / 35,000 Aluminum / 500,000 Food] Boost population in all nations by 6% but Increases Food Consumption to (Peace) = (Population / 700) + (Soldiers / 750) (War) = (Population / 700) + (Soldiers / 500) International Mining Consortium - $250,000,000 [ 60,000 Lead / 75,000 Iron / 25,000 Gasoline / 30,000 Aluminum ] 25% Boost to all mining Coal/Oil/Iron/Bauxite/Lead/Uranium but adds 16 points of pollution in each city of every nation. International Trade Centre/International Trade Organization - $450,000,000 [ 75,000 Coal / Oil 90,000 / Iron 75,000 / 30,000 Gasoline / 20,000 Steel ] Boost gross income +3% for all nations in the alliance but adds 20 points of pollution in each city of every nation. Strategic Air Command Center - $700,000,000 [ 150,000 Lead / 120,000 Iron / 100,000 Gasoline / 80,000 Munitions / 95,000 Aluminum ] Increases Hangars production to allow you to manufacture up to 4 new Aircraft a day per hanger and increases the production of missiles & nukes to 2 per day. (FYI aircraft can stack with Propaganda Bureau) However It increases upkeep of air units as follows: [ Increases Aircraft upkeep (Peace/War) to 650/975 ] [ Increases Missiles upkeep to $27,300 per day in peacetime and $40,950 per day in wartime ] [ Increases Nuclear Weapons upkeep to $45,500 per day in peacetime and $68,250 per day in wartime ] Orbis Stock Exchange - $150,000,000 [ 40,000 Coal / 40,000 Oil / 40,000 Lead / Bauxite 40,000 / 25,000 Steel / 500,000 Food ] Adds +0.2 per alliance to the Cumulative Bonus to all nations in an alliance involved in active market sharing that owns this project. It caps at 2% **New Update 7/4** Military Industrial Complex - $600,000,000 [ 175,000 Oil / 20,000 Uranium / 140,000 Lead / 150,000 Bauxite / 60,000 Steel / 20,000 Aluminum / 300,000 Food ] Soldiers increase their efficiency by 80% when supplied with munitions. It also reduces Steel Requirements for tanks to 0.75 per tank and for naval vessels to 17.5 per ship. However munitions requirements increase to the following: [Soldiers now require 1 munitions per 2,000 soldiers.] [Tanks now require 1 munitions per 50 tanks in battles to operate.] [Naval vessels now require 4 munitions each in battles to operate.] Advanced Defense Research Agency - $275,000,0000 [ 135,000 Lead / 100,000 Iron / 85,000 Bauxite / 35,000 Steel ] Fortify now causes your opponent to take 20% more casualties if they attack you while you're fortified. Decreases infrastructure damage taken from Ground Battles, Airstrikes,and Naval Battles by 5% to all nations. However Fortify only adds +8 Resistance. Also Gasoline requirements increase for all Land/Sea/Air vehicles to the following. [Tanks now require 1 gasoline per 50 tanks in battles to operate.] [Aircraft now require 1 gasoline per 2 aircraft in battles to operate.] [Naval vessels now require 3 gasoline each in battles to operate.] *New 7/8 Drone Defense System - $600,000,000 [ 100,000 Oil / Bauxite 120,000 / 25,000 Uranium / 135,000 Iron / 175,000 Munitions ] When an opponent attacks with Aircraft a drone is launched to preempt engage the enemy air craft and may shoot down 0%-2% of the attacking planes before ones aircraft engage. However this also increases the Aluminum necessary to manufacture Aircraft to 4 Aluminum per aircraft. Drones are military sub units that must be purchased and are limited to 1 per day with a cap of 15. Drones Cost: $100,000 , 50 Aluminum, 50 Gasoline, 50 Munitions each For clarity when attacked 1 drone launches per attacks so even if you have 15 and get attacked by 4 opponents in single air raids 4 drones will be used i per opponent . Afterwards then your regular airplanes would engage. Also clearly this only works as a defensive countermeasure not on offensive attacks. Also Drones are susceptible to spy attacks which can destroy 1 each. . Notes: - The IMF finally lets you use all those Markets : - The GBR feature is linked directly to current bank total to avoid people being able to throw money in once their funds start to diminish. It also limits both withdrawals and deposits to once a week all these to avoid abuse. To further clarify "The Global Reserve Bank only lets you put 15% of your current Alliance bank total" so... Example: If your Alliance Bank = $500,000 you can place $75,000 max into reserve. If your AA bank gets drained down to $200,000 you can NOT put any more money in cause your already past your cap unless you take money out below your new cap. Any money you withdraw automatically goes into the AA Bank. Therefore you can not send money from the reserve to a specific person you must use the bank. Also blockade rules apply to the Reserve and you wont be able to access until blockade has ended. - Strategic Air Command originally had a different purpose to reduce AP of air/missile/nukes by -1 but that might break the balance. It was when I was considering making AA projects temporary. - **The Orbis Stock Exchange is unique in that it requires inter-alliance activity via Market sharing trades with various alliances to gain the bonus. Global trades do NOT count and it must be done via the Market "Alliance Trade offer" with a member belonging to your market sharing grouping to be considered valid. An active trade can be considered any trade made and completed within 72hrs. The bonus only applies to the alliance who has the Orbis exchange project. Example: So if you have a Market sharing with 5 AA and they are all active you would get a 1% boost to your bonus. However if only 1 were "active" you only get 0.2 The idea is to encourage alliance Market sharing via a bonus. - In general I'm still adjusting the purchase cost slightly and i had some other ideas for alliance projects but didn't want to clutter too many ideas just yet until I get some feedback.. Update notes: I added 2 new military Alliance projects and boosted the cost of SACC. The new projects follow the same principle of having slight drawbacks to offset the advantages. - The Advanced Defense Research Agency 5% def bonus can be added to war policy bonuses to boost, reduce or neutralize effects. Update note: I added the last project the DDS and updated the cost mechanics with resources which I still may tweak.
  2. I dig it and I wish you the best of luck in your growth. ....may your colonies drop swift and accurate.
  3. In terms of shit posting & broken dreams probably.

    I was actually thinking about this as well.
  5. Well maybe the harsh truth is it's time for those political wills to die and find some new life goals man! That or some stronger anti-depressants. Stop making it your life goal to destroy the other sphere and sit on the Iron Throne. Why not make some smaller yet more dynamic goals. It's not a matter of legitimacy but honesty as in the true intentions behind a CB. "Just because lol" could be considered legitimate if it's the real reason. It may or may not be politically and strategically smart but that's another point.
  6. Following this logic why not put everyone in vacation mode then you'll be invincible. That sounds eerily familiar....perhaps because this evidence is most likely subjective. The CB can be blunt as in "we don't like you" or lulz as in "because it's Taco Tuesday" or subjective as in "Sekrit plotz evidence" . However the point you seem to miss out on is when you start a conflict you either need the capacity to win the war or you take responsibility when you fail to meet your goals ! There is such a thing called loosing with grace & dignity where you suck it up and accept reality, thank your allies for helping out and own up to the failure to deliver victory, try and learn from your mistakes then make new plans for the next time. Accepting defeat doesn't mean you are truly defeated and broken.
  7. Seriously that's what this hold up is all about ? Winning and loosing are apart of the game no one should ever expect to be on the winning side every time. Accepting defeat doesn't discourage diversity it should encourage it by learning from your mistakes thus forcing you to evolve and choose different paths. Diversity is more hampered by the the consolidation of the web treaties into lopsided super blocs.
  8. ^ Winning so much their allies are peacing out one after the other because their so sick of winning !
  9. In 20 mins he's going to make everyone join Rose again.
  10. This pales in comparison to the Test server money bug that gave everyone a Quintillion dollars. "Greatest glitch of all time !"
  11. How can you be shocked when Hillary is just a horrible candidate even the polls going back to the primary show Hillary with only 2% - 5% difference with Trump but Bernie had a double digit 13% lead overall and even a 20% lead among independents. Now do people see how stupid it was to put Hillary at the fore front ! Well to be fair the reason why is because Obama campaigned on a clear and concise message of Hope and change he didn't use pity and shame to get people to vote for him. He didn't go around telling people wouldn't it be nice to have a black president. He had a message that moved and motivated people to go to the polls. However clearly this was not Hillary MO "wouldn't it be nice to have a women for president" it was just pathetic attempt to pander. I thought one of the tenets of feminism was about judging women fairly on their ideas not their gender but apparently people were suppose to vote for her based on her gender & not worry about her ideas. Because the other lame favorite tag line was " well it's better than Tump" Very inspiring indeed! Hillary is not about anything she had no message thus she had nothing to sell and motivate people. She failed as she did 8 years ago because shes a terrible candidate and she has no one to blame but herself. You can't blame Russia for revealing your corruption revealed via E-mails and think that it's just going to go away. This is a Progressive:(video below)
  12. Both choices are terrible but it require objectivity to see it. - Trump is neither a Republican or Democrat but an opportunist who has carefully read and calculated the appeal of tough sounding rhetoric without substance to the right wing is like Honey to a Bear ! He made a career out of it anyways so this is nothing new he knows confidence sells even if you don't know what the hell your talking about just keep insisting your right and never back down. He has no real interest in the complexity and turbulent dynamics of real politics which doesn't involve bumper sticker slogans. Sadly what his supports don't understand is Winning and Governing are not the same thing. I think Tywin summed it up well. - Hillary is a terrible choice for the Dems given the fact shes struggling against Trump and has no real issues and so spends all her time in political spin playing up the feminist angle, playing up the Russia is backing Trump conspiracy, playing up Anti-Trump fear mongering. Hey and why not it takes the heat off her having to face any scrutiny never mind the fact they don't deny the validity of any specific E-mail but instead spin to Russia backing Trump. Then the well timed 3-prong attack one picking up just as the other started to die down with last one landing just before the 3rd debate [ 1)Miss Universe, 2) Tax Return Leak & 3) Billy Bush&Trump Video ] I'm sure all coincidence which conveniently distracts from talking about real issues. Remember when we were actually talking about issues of substance like making college affordable and raising wages to a living wage. If it wasn't for Bernie these issues wouldn't have even exited Hillary's mouth and even now she hardly mentions them in favor of Anti-Trump spin. Instead she uses carefully poll tested politically safe arguments like "fighting for children" which yeah is important but is that the only issue you plan to focus on for 4 years.
  13. Admin just got rid of the stacking system on Test server.
  14. Well I love the fact that we are talking Lotgh in of itself but fictional characters aside as bad as Trump is I don't think his goal is going to war the way war-hawk Hillary seems to be trigger happy. As confusing and ironic as that may seem for some Hillary is even more malleable than Trump despite her attempts trying to paint Trump. When personal profit and money is involved anything is negotiable for Hillary. Trump has a big mouth and makes plenty of bold proclamations but his lack of actual concrete plans and lack of insider support means his failure should be relatively contained. Hillary is in the pocket of so many there no telling what she will flip flop on first. A campaign promise after all is not a legally binding agreement just words words words. .
  15. No Hitler couldn't even invade Russia total loser ! Then he killed himself. So SAD ! lol Yang Wen-Li would never vote Trump but probably wouldn't vote Hillary either. "The greatest freedom is the freedom not to get involved" - Yang Wen-Li. Some relevant fun Lotgh Quotes: - Political corruption isn’t just politicians taking bribes. That’s just the corruption of individual politicians. Political corruption means the people aren’t free to criticize politicians for taking bribes. You banned free speech. For that alone, you aren’t fit to criticize the despotic Imperial government or Alliance politics.†Yang Wen-li, ep. 24 - “While the leaders of the Free Planets Alliance extol democracy, in reality, by ignoring laws and rules, they reduce it to a mere form. It’s a cunning but risky way of doing things. Because if the people in power don’t respect their own laws, the standards of society itself slacken.†–Adrian Rubinsky LoGH, episode 30. - “The nation that neglects social inequality, mischievously increases military budgets, and then uses its power internally to suppress the citizens on the pretext of invasion by an external enemy is on the road to extinction.†Yang Wen-Li. - “No, its citizens have turned over rulership to politicians, instead of participating in it! The people have democratic principles on their lips, but can’t spare the effort to safeguard it! The collapse of a government is the sin of its rulers and leaders. The collapse of democratic rule is the sin of every citizen!†–Alexander Bucock, ep. 53 - " .... democracy is a roundabout thing. And people who are disenchanted with such roundabout-ness will always say: “Let’s give power to a great politician and have him spearhead revolutionary changes.†I wonder if the masses have always wanted an autocrat" - Yang Wen-Li.
  16. J/k It's good to see an active Admin who actually cares for the game and is open to both suggestions and criticism to improving the game.
  17. LoL the irony of your post with a Yang Wen-Li avatar. You should update your avatar to Rudolf von Goldenbaum !
  18. I think the maximum level sodium content has been reached for the day. Tomorrows headline "When does the bleeding stop?"
  19. I expected someone else to try this but congrats all the same.
  20. Let it be chiseled in stone tablets officially for all future generations now that neutrality is not a good tactic. I'm glad you guys are not quitting but evolving into something else and I wish you luck.
  21. I had the same idea but make them into small groups with different personalities/play styles. However they only spawn for special events fully formed and armed then once the event is over and they are no longer engaged they delete. lol Turing Test
  22. Seriously are we on page 29 of this drama already ?
  23. The rolled it up and smoked it !
