Next Set

[Whilston]

Will the loan be from the nation bank.

[Mr President]

No. You will go to the States bank page and see it. Right now this is just a stand alone system. Any State can take a loan.

[Whilston]

Okay.

[Missionary]

is there going to be a part in the dev centre for the techer strat? if its going to be used as a potential full set strat instead of just a start up then maybe there should be. also farmer and oil strat should be merged in the dev centre in my opinion and even have it so ya dont loose the production bonus if you have oil and farming, or at least maybe a slightly smaller bonus than if you had solely one of these buildings. just think the amount of resources on the pm would be easier to shift depending on demand.

[Mr President]

Science is formulated without the need of tech. If needed we can adjust production some.

Merging Farmer and Oil tech isn't a bad idea. Isn't scheduled to change this set but after we get some more feedback on pros and cons we can make a change.

[Mr President]

All of the changes above have been made, except.... The prices and values of tanks. Those have remained the same for now.

Building Statistics
Land Built: 93% (275.207/295.105)
Commercial Zones: 16% (43.259)
Residential Zones: 22% (60.395)
Industrial Zones: 30% (83.787)
Farming Zones: 8% (20.776)
Science Facilities: 20% (53.923)
Oil Rigs: 5% (13.067)
Construction Sites: 0% (0)

And it seems like there is shortage of tech. 20% and still shortage?

Is this necessarily a bad thing? I don't think so. Before, when one strategy was overplayed/underplayed it kinda felt like the whole set is ruined like that. Now that science has proved to be in big demand, more people will play techer. So, when they finally decide to convert, they can carefully decide which strategy needs their help!

More comments about recent changes:
Infantry hoarding has been replaced with tanks hoarding... And with the addition of oil, then tanks hoarding is even better. Other units use it anyway, so its better if the farmers/oilers decide to go with oil.
Maybe go back to the old settings where infantry was better, but because we have this oil/food thing then infantry would actually be useful if there are enough farmers!

[Margus]

Infantry vs tanks, when infantry would be the old strength (1.445), tanks vs infantry would be equal.
When using 1bil money to buy tanks at max price and infantry at max price, then you get 3,4m infantry and 592.7k tanks. If used oil and food max price to calculate costs per turn, then tanks cost 4% more per turn (474k$ infantry vs 493k$ per turn), but in the other hands tanks are 3,5% stronger (5,03m vs 4,91m). They are basically the same. But infantry was hoarded because no1 bought tanks, no nation army had tanks.

seems like a bug

[Mr President]

Can I get some feedback on:

Science for upgrades
Loans

I see a few people have taken loans. How is it working for you? Should the max be higher, lower or is it just right?
