*Further... What's an ESL speaker?

*Update* Peace has been declared between both nations. I will freely admit: Thank God.

Look at his wars. He's fighting two other wars. One of his enemies is pretty badly reduced, but the other is not.

And, one of his enemies is in an alliance. A small one like ours. Maybe we should communicate with 'Band of Brothers'?

Nah, I'm just glad to have gotten a graceful way out of that one. I bit off more than I could chew, honestly enough.

English as a Second Language.

Don't be certain that this is the end of it. He may have declared peace simply for expediency. Once he builds himself up again he may be back. Especially if, as PES suggests, he is a 'mule' and is reponsible to others for that money.

It's possible, I'm not sure just what is going to happen with that. For now, the war is called off. Of course, he'll have a nasty surprise waiting for him if he decides to launch another air strike on me.

The big concern of mine was that he was more than a match for me and he STILL had almost $2 million he was just sitting on. Honestly, if he wanted to crush me, he probably could have. And he was doing very heavy blows with his air strikes and missle attacks. Anyways, I'm off to bed for tonight.

Never mind, it cleared me to collect taxes just a few seconds ago.

You probably caught it during a system update. When the system updates it won't let you much of anything. The FAQ explained it and said it was to help speed up the process so the game could continue.

Anarchy doesn't stop you from deploying troops. You should be glad he settled peace before he ZI'ed you, then the ground war would have started. Most likely if he offered peace he won't be back. Why are there mules you ask? The power blocks don't want to be linked to any deals that may piss off another power block. If he was sitting on 2M instead of pumping his forces up to crush you he is most assuredly a mule. Count yourself lucky!

Deploying troops allows you to use them in combat against another nation, it does not send them to another person. You need to go to the nation screen for the nation you want to gift to. Once there you can click on aid and it will allow you to enter values for funds, troops, tech, infra, and I think that's it(?).

I did all that. When I get to the aid page, it says:

Quote:

Financial Aid Offered: [0] of $1,083.64 Marks.
Technology Aid Offered: [0] of 0.00 available technology.
Military Aid Offered: [0] of 0 available soldiers.

The available cash is $500 less than my current surplus. I have 107 Soldiers and 139 Working Citizens. No matter how many soldiers I deploy, it says I have 0 available soldiers for aid.

Since two other people have already sent troops, I went ahead and sent a small amount of cash. It let the cash offer go through with no complaints.
