The Legion is about to fall. I am discussing terms with FAN about standing down. YOU ALL WERE RIGHT.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Just a quick status update on everyone. Hows it going? No major wars or anything? The Protectorate seems to have avoided all of the problems going on with almost every other alliance in the game.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I'm doing alright. Approaching 1600 strength. I finally got a harbor, but I'm having trouble getting a trade agreement with the nations that have the missing resources I need to maximize my gain.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I'm in the exact same position as Guy of Doom

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Going along well.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I'm doing fairly well. Only hiccup was after I did a bunch of tech raids... they all went smoothly except for one, where the guy got pissed because he only had the bare-minimum 20% troops, and in the course of my raiding he went into anarchy. He then promptly joined an alliance, and he and one of the larger members demanded I cough up $250,000 in damages.

So, I dumped 50 tech on the Wombat so they couldn't easily steal it back, and traded blows with the guy for a few days. Finally I reached a compromise with him... basically "Sorry I put you in anarchy, here's 50k... you probably will want to buy more troops with that".

I'll probably push up infrastructure until I can get a fifth improvement, then go on a few tech raids again... it's just too profitable to pass up.

Ya this alliance save me crap after the fact is getting on a lot of players nerves. I was ORDERED to pay restitution to a nation I attacked during the war. However I was attacked first and NEVER counter attacked. His losses were my gains and I wasn't going to give them back. FAN supported me even though I was a member of the Legion then. (The Legion is filled with a lot of knowledgeable guys, whom all of which won't lift a finger to help you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif )

I have noticed though that many of the trade deals between WC members are not optimized and many of you are loosing out on bonuses and better economies because of it. You all might benefit very much from organizing your trade agreements into a trade guild for your alliance.

Right now I'm really waiting for some iron and coal, since obtaining iron and coal would mean I'd get 4 or so bonus resources. Right now I'll just have to stick with beer.

Tech raids are indeed fun, but... I can never seem to get any technology out of it. How much does the difference need to be?

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

I was hitting people with tech in the hundreds... grabbed 5 tech in each attack.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation
 

Nice.... but how'd you prevent their advanced tech from obliterating you?
