Hmmm, that doesn't work, since IAG resets every decade, so, at best, you have 500 billion extra...But since you screwed about with vassel this and vassel that, despite me saying I didn't like the idea...and the fact that it was 350 billion for 4 cities, so it would be 175 billion for 2 cities....you get nothing.

Yes. Glad we cleared that up.

None, Wu decided to go pacifist after some softly-softly diplomacy from the UN. That and creating a Vassel State with a 2 million strong army which you don't have to pay for...is a bit rich...

And again, we are here. India attacks Wu, taking both cities with relative easy, as well as the Pakistan-Byzantia Territory. Iran begins crossing to Saudi Arabia, at the southern most tip, encountering a fleet of 35 vessels. The vessels were rocked in the water by the railgun firing Exosuits, but were easily capable of sinking a third of the attacking force before being sunk themselves. The remaining force came across a landscape filled with bunkers and artillary, eventually being entirely annhilated. The damage in that area was very limited due to the concentration of forces. A more Northen breakthrough was more succesful, piercing the weakly defended outer shell and invading the cremey nougat core of Turkey. In South Africa, something rather unexpected happened...South Africa attacked! The 2 million strong army, along with 1 million strong defenders, rallied into a crushing victory over the Byzantian Hoard, buoyed up by Indian Blockade Assistance of over 100 ships, which helped to destroy Russian and Byzantian reinforcements, though some still got through, the delay made it a beach landing, turning the reinforcement into an amphibous assault. The assault then turned into a retreat as the boats scrambled to get units out of there, only to be met by the Indian fleet in a pincer like movement. It was, at this point, something else unexpected happened, Argentinan planes began flying overhead. At first they were greeted with joy, both sides believing that their saviours had come...then they noticed the planes were dropping atom bombs. Over 150 atom bombs were dropped, decimating the remaining 1.8 million South African forces, as well as the surviours of the DOOMED Russian-Byzantian invasion force. The belegered South Africans then were called to march across Africa to engage the Argentinians, who were landing on the West Coast. Sufficing to say the South African forces were barely able to stem the tide, let alone turn the invaders back into the sea. Elsewhere Argentinans invaded Carribean territories, taking them for themselves.

Euclid Said So 1 [hide]Definition 1. Any rectangular parallelogram is said to be contained by the two straight lines containing the right angle. Definition 2 And in any parallelogrammic area let any one whatever of the parallelograms about its diameter with the two complements be called a gnomon. Propositions Proposition 1. If there are two straight lines, and one of them is cut into any number of segments whatever, then the rectangle contained by the two straight lines equals the sum of the rectangles contained by the uncut straight line and each of the segments. Proposition 2. If a straight line is cut at random, then the sum of the rectangles contained by the whole and each of the segments equals the square on the whole. Proposition 3. If a straight line is cut at random, then the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the segments equals the sum of the rectangle contained by the segments and the square on the aforesaid segment. Proposition 4. If a straight line is cut at random, the square on the whole equals the squares on the segments plus twice the rectangle contained by the segments. Proposition 5. If a straight line is cut into equal and unequal segments, then the rectangle contained by the unequal segments of the whole together with the square on the straight line between the points of section equals the square on the half. Proposition 6. If a straight line is bisected and a straight line is added to it in a straight line, then the rectangle contained by the whole with the added straight line and the added straight line together with the square on the half equals the square on the straight line made up of the half and the added straight line. Proposition 7. If a straight line is cut at random, then the sum of the square on the whole and that on one of the segments equals twice the rectangle contained by the whole and the said segment plus the square on the remaining segment. Proposition 8. If a straight line is cut at random, then four times the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the segments plus the square on the remaining segment equals the square described on the whole and the aforesaid segment as on one straight line. Proposition 9. If a straight line is cut into equal and unequal segments, then the sum of the squares on the unequal segments of the whole is double the sum of the square on the half and the square on the straight line between the points of section. Proposition 10. If a straight line is bisected, and a straight line is added to it in a straight line, then the square on the whole with the added straight line and the square on the added straight line both together are double the sum of the square on the half and the square described on the straight line made up of the half and the added straight line as on one straight line. Proposition 11. To cut a given straight line so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the segments equals the square on the remaining segment. Proposition 12. In obtuse-angled triangles the square on the side opposite the obtuse angle is greater than the sum of the squares on the sides containing the obtuse angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of the sides about the obtuse angle, namely that on which the perpendicular falls, and the straight line cut off outside by the perpendicular towards the obtuse angle. Proposition 13. In acute-angled triangles the square on the side opposite the acute angle is less than the sum of the squares on the sides containing the acute angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of the sides about the acute angle, namely that on which the perpendicular falls, and the straight line cut off within by the perpendicular towards the acutc angle. Proposition 14. To construct a square equal to a given rectilinear figure. [/hide] 1 Euclid.

So your method of doing research is what, exactly? Don't do anything and expect it to happen by itself? Anywho: They must first notice something, as I said. Your argument doesn't actually say anything new, it just agrees with me and adds an example that I don't understand... I Assume you mean 'Suggest stuff that has a basis on what is evident' OR 'Make stuff up, with no referance to evidence, and hope someone believes you'.... In which case I have to say that suggesting stuff based on what is evident is better by a considerable margin... If you assume that the likelyhood of the former working is 1 in X^2 (1 in 4) Then the likelyhood of the latter working is 1 in X^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2 (1 in 1e+4932)

Example.... It is not weird. Any more than it is weird for a toaster to toast bread....something doing what it says it does is not weird. Therefore: Faulty premise. Not really Faulty premise, and is quite easily provable. Firstly, it is wrong. Secondly I am in a better position to know what is going on than you are, thus, unless you are aware of Ross' impending betrayal of his side, you don't have anything to base your theory on at all... Similarly, Galileo did not become right by positing ridiculous theories with no proof at all, then saying that they were unprovable and therefore were definately right....That was what the church was doing. Galileo noticed something, looked for evidence to explain what he had observed, found some evidence, made assertions as to what the evidence meant, and subsquently theories based on that evidence to explain what he noticed... While it may be true that, sometimes, scientists have to take a leap of faith to find the right(I use the term loosely with the next phrase) answer, like the Higgs Boson, they usually do it with a fair amount of evidence behind them, showing that they are probably right anyway, but this is to confirm it once and for all. Leonardo Da Vinci did not go 'Hmmm, I want to fly. I use my arms to flap like birds and throw myself off of a tall building.' Rather he observed birds flying, and theorised why they could fly, yet he couldn't....

So, although your methods might be logical, they always seem to start out with a faulty premise, which will ultimately end in mistake.

Just a PS to people. War updates will be done arbitrarily by me, so if you didn't mean to do something but you were offline, tough. I will almost certaintly not update if someone has not had a chance to respond, but if people are purposefully not posting then.... Anywho, be prepared with each post, just in case...

Updatifications: Kazakhia: Cost: 67,500,000,000 Treasury: 547,060,233,900 After a massive offensive, and gaining some land north of Senagel, Egypt came, saw and conquered, thus gaining nothing but a loss. South Africa: Cost: 18,000,000,000 Treasury: 515,661,568,000 Acting defensively, South Africa limits Kazakhia's advances to just one city, and, with the aid of Egypt, pushes the invaders out entirely. Byzantia: Cost: 43,500,000,000 Treasury: 230,457,024,000 With minor effort the attack into South Africa continues, volunteers from Italy, France, Britian and Kazakhia have been used as cannon fodder repeatedly, stemming the flow of support which senior officals described as 'Degrading'. The pretty abyssmal defence South Africa has put up thus far is making commanders just a little over confident', as one officer said while shooting backwards, over a barrel, with his feet, killing five South Africans standing under a barrel of explosives, while talking to camera man Bob. Egypt: Cost: 43,500,000,000 Treasury: 496,058,025,600 Egypt has been a pretty decisive player so far, having won the only major battle fought in mainland Africa, thus far.

So if it is more than -1 trillion but less than 0....well they can spend money up to 1 trillion, but if they don't balance the deficit by the end of the decade then they take a 90% IAG hit and their empire starts disintergrating....

Then you can't spend money...

You can go down to about 1 trillion negative. If you don't solve the deficit by the end of the decade then your IAG is reduced by 90% and your empire falls apart.
