In terms of absolute realism, yes soldier can kill planes. However, in game I don't think this would work. Think about it, a soldier costs 2 bucks. Meanwhile a plane costs $3,000 plus 3 aluminum. It doesn't make sense to have a cheap and expendable unit able kill an expensive one which takes time to build up in large numbers. Right now airstrikes are virtually useless against soldiers, giving soldiers the ability to hit planes would just kill expensive planes, while leaving soldiers basically untouched, which is pretty unbalanced. If airstrikes did a lot more damage vs. soldiers, then this might be reasonable, but certainly not now.

Stanley had a dream about giant purple penises which he learned about first-hand. As he farted and thought about snorting lines, he suddenly choked on an absurdly large chicken, which came from the incredible pleasure inside his stainless steel throat. Crying like a racist toaster, Stanley whipped out his new wallet, searching for Barack Obama. He tried desperately to stop World War Z with copious feminist claims, but alas he was forced to suck a racing truck. Meanwhile his spidey sense told him that a large plot of feminists got obliterated by a radical fellow known as only "Larry". So he got up and devised a plan to hasten in Latin, "ago", meaning ''You'', so that he could understand what kind old Bernice thought of. While he still sucked a racing truck, Stanley jumped on to the Grand Bridge to find a badass set of electronic bolas which someone was eating with Obama. Stanley sat on top of the "garbage" and he saw Larry milking a sagging set of pudding and something sticky and something called fried kibbeh which was not good. Larry lost his children when he sold them for 500 other children, sick with Radioactive Ebola, Unbalanced Humours, and Super Nerdophobia which was his single reason why his wife left

Just like to point out that DEIC is orange, not red.

Ah good, a charter I can actually finish reading in this lifetime. o/ SI

And then the war ends...

Alls well that ends well, I suppose. Now we can all be friends again.

With TAC weakened by war, GPA saw an opportunity. When they struck in secret, it was swift and merciless, few survived. TAC fell, it's score plummeting, and the few survivors scattering to the wind. Having taken down the largest alliance, the power of GPA only grows. Fear the nuetral menace....

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I think those logs established pretty well TAC was making plans for attack at one time, perhaps not recently, and that there was spying going on within EOS perpetrated by your government, which is pretty serious. As for allies, its no secret that SG and TEst are allied to TAC, and its been said plenty of times that they didn't come into this war because they weren't asked too by TAC. That said, I agree with the second part of your statement. Soon this war will end, and then everything will go back to normal.

That was basically what the old system tried to do, and it ended up with tons color colonies and single alliances dominating a color and killing anything that tried to step on, generating gigantic bonuses. There were some flaws and problems, but I still think this generated the most drama and interest in color stock, right now colors have very little importance in the grand scheme of things. I think the reason why some people don't like things like color bombing is that people like TAC can create a bunch of tiny alliances, and tank the bonus for everyone on the color, while also being immune to persecution and receiving a nice 5% bonus on beige. I actually think this is a neat tactic, while being pretty much restricted to wartime, as everyone isn't on beige during a peace. That said, there is little reason for alliances to hunt down others on their color, as you would then end up with a situation like now, where the defeated nation's alliances are still hurting the bonus, but the defeated nations themselves aren't contributing, hurting the bonus for everyone. This means that this version of color stock is counterproductive to conflict and tension, as doing much of anything would just hurt the bonus for everyone instead of improving it, leaving alliances to just sit around, as we have seen.

Congratulations Asgard! Good luck in the big world.

Seven Kingdoms doesn't win many wars then, does it?

The lack of my name... Disturbs me.

Come on, now I want to know what these forums things are. You can't just dangle stuff like that.

Alright, the The DEIC Saves the Day War better win this thing. Also, mildly surprised no one came up with The Atlas Shrugged War before me. That was waiting to be made.

The "The DEIC Kills all the Unworthy Atlas Confederates War" Or the "The DEIC Saves the Day War" Or the "The Rerise of the Bestest Alliance Ever, DEIC, War" Or the "Forget the Neutral Menace, Kneel Before the Awesome Non-Menace, The DEIC, War"

Thats not a bad idea, but if I remember correctly, some of the nation perks Sheepy is planning to implement would do much the same thing, without a whole new mechanic.

Civil Improvements are very valuable later-game. Police stations and hospitals can greatly increase your income, while the pollution improvements are the only way to decrease pollution, and the subway even provides a commerce boost. That said, they are quite expensive, and don't really pay for themselves until your cities have a lot of infra.

They don't have an official bloc announcement on the forums here, so don't bother trying to find it.

I don't think this rests on particularly sound logic, especially if you're trying to create inter-nation tension. Allow me to give an example. Nation A is a decently new nation, lets say with a couple 500 infra cities. Since it is newer, it focuses mainly on resource production and refinement, such improvements take up a majority of its slots, which naturally means it is going to have high pollution levels. Nation B is a bit older, and has moved onto a more commerce focused build, which means it has less pollution. By your system, since Nation A has more pollution, its citizens begin moving en masse to Nation B. Now for Nation B, this is great news. It is essentially getting free population, which in this game translates to more money for it. Nation B has no reason to dislike Nation A for its pollution, in fact it has a good reason to want it to be more polluted. For Nation A on the other hand, they are stuck in a bit of a bind, they can either: 1. Do nothing and continue to lose population they need to make money to Nation B. 2. Spend a lot of money on pollution reducing improvements, which may stop the flow of population, but will hurt financially, both with purchasing costs and maintenance, only making an unsustainable money situation worse. 3. Sell a lot of resource buildings and go commerce, which can also be very costly early, and seems like unnecessary pigeonholing. In other words, Nation A loses whatever way you look at it, and Nation B only gains. There is no way warfare would solve this problem, and this system would only serve to help less polluted nations, while hurting more polluted ones. If you are trying to make pollution sting more, or develop tensions, this isn't the way to do it.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me all too much. Perhaps next we will see logs posted from the secret GPA cabal who control world finance. Or maybe new logs will reveal there are only six kingdoms in SK, or that SI are actually misunderstood capitalists. The possibilities are truly endless.

Always good to see a new alliance form, good luck out there!

Wait, a real war? Its just Chuck TEsta...
