I was convinced fascism was better for stocking until I actually did some calcs on it last set for alliance, they're a close match.

Good changes for alliances. I don't see why they need to be implemented on my favorite server, primary, either though.

As a commie you got to keep your bus/res tech high too imo. My tax income is now 35% of my total income. I don't have any cash flow problems, plenty left to buy more tech with every day.

Yea, why not just ignore them.

Just demolish the US military bases in South Korea and let the North Koreans stand guard at the demilitarized zone all by themselves. It takes two to tango.

correction: 15k spies per fail is a worst case scenario, after thinking back most of the time I only lose 6k to 12k.

Yea, I had a spal of 40 and now it has dropped to 30 because I've stopped producing spies and it doesn't seem to make significant difference at all..

The thing limiting growth for me right now are low mil prices. I have no problem finding good targets at all, although they do seem to have decent defense.

It sucks if your military gets stuck. It happened only once to me when trying to sell at max price but Ive missed some bonus turns because of that. So I would sell below max but I don't think you have to sell below avg per se.

I could have sold some military at a higher price. At some point I decided to try to sell for $1-2 less than max and that worked well. Although I now sell for a bit less than that because prices are dropping.

Water vapour contributes more to the greenhouse effect than CO2, this is true. That water vapour has a larger effect isn't good news however.
CO2 still accounts for about 20% of the effect and as more is put in the atmosphere the greenhouse effect gets stronger leading to higher temperatures. Higher temperatures means more water evaporates which then further adds to higher temperatures.

Does anyone here who doesn't believe humans can affect the climate have any actual arguments to support their thinking?

The fact that the climate changes on it's own is in itself not an argument against the possibility of humans to affect climate as well.

Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas, this is a well established fact. Saying it's not is akin to claiming the Earth is flat or only 6000 years old. We're releasing vast amounts of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere thus it makes sense this can affect climate. What are the arguments against this line of reasoning?

I didn't really feel it either. The character developments and the dialogs aren't this shows strong points (although it could be much worse). I wish they'd just increase the pace of the show and put more action in it because the creators of the show are good at that kind of stuff.

Although that article also says that the Americans were first to develop nuclear weapons because of economic superiority. The Germans were darn good at science tho! The author does seem to be an American.

But oh well, his basic points in comparing the US to Japan seem valid.

I don't really see how this is propaganda. The US had already become the dominant powerhouse by 1914 when the first world war started. Nations with a dominant economy and the knowledge how to utilise that capital for war tend to win. The US also wasn't faced by destruction on their mainland in either world war.

Then again, had the Germans been the first ones to develop nuclear weapons things would have gone vastly different.

Yes, that would be a good grab. It would mean my defense wasn't adequate if even such a small country could match nw. If I don't know how to defend myself I'll lose my land with these rules, it would make the game a little more challenging I think.

Next set Im going to try again to do this landtrading thing properly, should be fun to really go for it but I think I'll get bored with it within a couple sets. If enough people feel the same eventually retal policies could be changed, that's all Im saying basically.

The thing is, I have a 20k acres demo techer and I could have easily matched nw with 100k acre+ landtraders. If Id hit them I would want to be retalled 1:1.

This would limit the effectiveness of landtrading :)

Yea, maybe game mechanics could be changed.

Yet I would like 1:1 retal policies and land:land for blatant topfeeds (based on nw only, not on land). But doubt that will happen anytime soon.

It's perfectly possible without FA.

Let's say he techs 4k per turn and has 3 research allies. Then he stocked for 4 weeks with an avg tech price of about $2000 (could be $20bil stock). Bought most of his food for $36-38 and sold it at the food peak for $45 ($20bil stock becomes $25bil). Then jumped of public buying jets/turrets for say $140 (=a jump off 110m nw). He will still have some unsold tech so 100m nw is nice at this point.

Of the 500k acres commies have 60% is held by people not in top 20. Military prices are high but they are not that far out of the ordinary. Small countries could effect this as military prices are fairly inelastic. People need military to protect themselves and to grow, thus relatively small changes in production could have a relatively big effect on prices. It's just a thought and it may all be nonsense:P
And isn't the top 20 always dominated by commies at the beginning of a set? I'm not sure how that would be relevant either then.
