Stockers would be too powerful if it was raised

How about a Banking Tech that affects the bank size, allowing it to be increased?

that would be good for casher nations, as indis have two techs... Just not a bad idea of implimintation, but i still think stockers would ahve an advantage, but it may be what would even out the cash to indi ratio and give a cashing nation a chance to win.

A financial tech could be used in many ways. Not just Bank size. Having more types of Tech would also Make a Techer Strat more attractive.

Other Idea:

Intelligence Tech - Providing better spy defense (Making it harder for people with a few spies to get intel on a state with tons of spies.)

I think that is a stretch....

Bank size doesn't need to be changed.

Because most stockers cannot stock up until the very last minute anymore because of the GB formula. So very few serious stockers will use up that much bank size anyway.

if they can't use up that bank size they are horrible stockers and shouldn't be stocking:P

yah calvin, but what do you think about an increase possilbly linked with a tech

I think it would be a waste of tech points since each nation will only have about 5 people who will hit the max anyways.

i think we could use more techs myself
but i am not really throwing out suggestions till later in a few sets once everything has settled down


one thing i would like to see is the nation overview become teh game overview (i would love to see how many people are playing each strat.....)

Who the hell said that the people don't reach the bank limit until the end?? Was that Xaviour?? lol Obviously you've never stocked before. I'm not even stocking now and I have half the bank size. The only reason I have so much in the bank is because the PM is dry. But if a person who isn't even trying to stock can have half the bank limit in a few days than it's not really hard to reach 50 bil :p

love the spelling hehe. 50bill isnt going to get you much net at all, proberly around 40mill net and considering thats all they are allowed i think its quite low. stocker isnt a strat anymore, its more like something to do before netting.

Yeah, I think I could get 50 billion in like a week. But the bank in game is like RL bank for me. Sits there until there is something to buy and then I spend it :P

I was talking about the 100b Bank, not the one we have now.

Ake: I seriously doubt you'd fill 50b in the first week ;)

the later you start stocking the easier it is

if i emtpied my bank right now i could have it filled in a week
however it takes on avg 1.5-2 weeks to fill it from the start

if you left it unlimited then people should have on average 125-150bil cash in the bank at the end of the set (rough estimate but I think an accurate one)
