Hegemony

[Seraphi]

I'll join in this university of India thingy.

[Icuownage]

Ok Ross, Hex, Retech and Grim

 

Is that a request to join too Mather?

 

India sends ambassadors with Indian jewelery to Iran and Kazakstan for a hope to strengthen relations.

Ok, can you post it more understandable? Is your IAG equal to the previous decade's infrastructure times the previous decade's IAG?

 

Can I make it more understandable? No. It is there in the most basic terms imaginable, how you can fail to understand it is entirely beyond me.

And yes, it obvouisly is, all you have done is rearrange what I said so that it is in the past tense.

 

To make it so incredibly easy here is an example:

 

First Decade:

I start with 100 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 1.

I invest 100 pounds into infrastructure(100%)

 

Second Decade:

I start with 100 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 2.

I invest 100 pounds into infrastructure(100%)

 

Third Decade:

I start with 101 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 3.

I invest 101 pounds into infrastructure(100%)

 

Forth Decade:

I start with 103.02 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 4.

I invest 103.02 pounds into Infrastructure(100%)

 

Fifth Decade:

I start with 106.1106 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 5.

I invest 106.1106 pounds into infrastructure(100%)

 

Sixth Decade:

I start with 111.41613 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 6.

I invest 111.41613 pounds into infrastructure(100%)

 

Seventh Decade:

I start with 118.1010978 pounds and I have an infrastructure of 7.

I invest 118.1010978 pounds into into infrastructure(100%)

 

See how very simple that is... It is not envisaged as the 'Only way' to increase IAG but it provides a stable basis to fall back on if everything else falls apart.

 

So will I end up with 2t in IAG or 3t?

 

Considering how low the actual cost of operating an army is, and how low every other cost in this game is, what is the point of having a budget of 3 trillion...when most of the time you struggle to spend 1 trillion...

With a IAG of exactly 2 Trillion and a Infrastructure of exactly 1, your IAG for the next decade(23rd to the 3rd) will be 2 Trillion....2 Trillion * 1.00(100%)

[Retech]

I'll give it a shot at calculating this IAG thing. Please tell me if I'm correct.

 

Infrastructural spending: 50%

 

That means the infrastructure would be 1.5, and I would multiply my new IAG by 101.5%.

 

 

 

 

The IAG for next decade would be...

 

(Current US IAG + Current Canadian IAG) times (1.5 divided by 2, plus infrastructure investments)

 

 

 

That's correct?

[archimage_a]

Sounds about right.

 

Its not over important, since I will calculate it anyway.

[Retech]

Okay. My first action for the new decade is to spend as much money as necessary to repair my infrastructure back to one, for the next decade. Defences are now being constructed in Canada, with large swathes of US workers working on the US defensive line sent North to help there. Another defensive line is built between the US and Mexico as well.

 

Also, Canada's tar sands have begun being exploited by many multibillion dollar companies. It is expected that it will pump out oil at a rate greater than OPEC, when it is fully operational. Of course that will still take many years.

 

The oil is only being sold to friendly countries, at a 5% discount of current oil prices, and can only be bought through the USNA government. Basically the companies extract it, get paid for it (giving an incentive for more efficiency), and the oil is dropped off in US repositories, mainly for domestic consumption.

 

---

 

Manchuria spent all its money to repair its infrastructure back to one, so its IAG remains at 350 billion. It's troops have almost completed training, and are working on improving the defensive line around the country.

 

It's coal and steel is being sold at lower than market price (though still making a profit) to other US government sponsered companies. The three American automakers (Ford, GM, Crysler) have been merged into a single entity, GM. They will be subsidised by the government for a decade, in pursuit of fuel efficiency and safety. In the meantime, Honda and Toyota have been hit with tariffs of 10%, to give the domestic industry a head start. Cars from Europe have not been affected, as most of them are luxury brands.

[Retech]

Just a thought, next time we should just start out by divying up the world so there's nothing to annex.

 

But annexing is so much fun!

[archimage_a]

By the way...its the 21st...not the 23rd...No annexs have completed yet...Retech, you have really bad time keeping :rolleyes:

[Retech]

Doh! Why have we been talking about IAG so much then? I was assuming that the decade was over, since that was basically the only reason people would want to know.

 

 

 

Just to let you know though, Manchuria (should be seven cities) is already mine. Well it's an independant country, but since it's proxy controlled by me, you might as well color it my color. :P

 

50% infrastructure investment in USA btw.

[The_Mather1]

Ok Ross, Hex, Retech and Grim

 

Is that a request to join too Mather?

 

India sends ambassadors with Indian jewelery to Iran and Kazakstan for a hope to strengthen relations.

I sent you 500b and you still wonder?

 

Japan starts making plans for the building of a massive research facillity, 100 stories tall with 20 sub-levels streaching out to cover an area aproximately the size of Manhattan. And since I suck at names I shall call it the Atlantis reseach facility, unless you prefer Arcturus. Building will start at decade change. (Slightly lowered cost due to giving enough time to plan?)

 

Btw India: I have no intention to compete, this will only ensure me effects on research, and any cooperated research between us will be even more effective.

I believe only one can be constructed...

[The_Mather1]

I think he said that they should be rare, not exlusive.

 

I plan to only make that one, maybe add more to it afterwards, but not build more fo a long while.

[Icuownage]

Nope only one can be made.

[archimage_a]

Nah, its a wonder, one of a kind..

Like the Pyramids...you can build hundreds of thousands of copies, but only 'The Pyramids' are 'The Pyramids'.

[The_Mather1]

So no bonus for mine? Remember his was an university, mine's a research facility.

[archimage_a]

Its kind of the same thing.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Cylindrical Building of Pisa...

[Nexaduro]

NVM, lol.

[Seraphi]

Sufficient progress is made on the engineering to begin prototype exoskeleton limbs. Several are being produced for closed testing, though the project is unlikely to go farther until the full computer project is complete.

[The_Mather1]

But i can make like a special wonder that boosts more but only for a specific research topic, like nano-construction?

[jasignhagj]

Why is infra applied after (why is the money i spend on infra in the 10s not applied till 2030?)\

 

Does Infra carry over? or do we start at 1 every decade?

 

To clear it up with everyone, an Infra level of 2 does not double your IAG, it increases it by 1%.

[archimage_a]

Because if it was then war could be offset quite easily...You could get invaded, lose most of your territory, then use your IAG to buy back your Infrastructure, meaning you had a smaller country with the same budget.

[jasignhagj]

OK, that makes sense. So everyone's Infra. level is one for the 2020 budget, unless they annexed a country or lost some in war.

Egypt Invades Libya

 

Under the cover of daylight the mass of 250,000 soliders began marching across the desert into Libya, along with a battery of 100 tanks. That was when things started to go wrong. Due to a logistics mix up the fuel supplies ran out after just five hours. The commander decided it was best to abandon the tanks with a contingent of 1,000 guards.

 

The slower pace of advance allowed the Libyans to marshal their airforce and commence bombing runs of the troops as they advanced, decimating their numbers and eventually forcing them into a retreat.

 

On their arrival back at the border they were met by the Great and Powerful 'Rocco' who told them to get back in there like the Marines were, to which they did.

The attack began again about a day later, after Libya had run several bombing raids on Egyptian cities and massing to re-take the Western city from the Marine assault.

 

Meanwhile the navy had been relentlessly shelling the other city in the North.

 

The, now, 80,000 strong force of Egyptian soliders advanced with their tanks this time, engaging the might of some 120,000 Libyan Soliders, who rebuffed the attack completely, killing another 50,000.

 

 

In the West the 100,000 strong Marine Landing went off without such hitches, quickly overpowering the city guards who had been stripped bare to raise the army to fight the invasion in the East, before continuing south to, as one person put it 'Finish the Job the Army Couldn't Do', taking control of the southern city as well.

However the line is overstreched, and the Libyan Army is sill 60,000 strong.

The liberators held off numerous attacks from the Libyans, losing some 50,000 overall.

 

 

Total Cost of Egyptian Attack: 36,500,000,000

Treasury: 33,308,000,000

Infrastructure: 0.7

 

Infrastructure of Libya: 0.4

 

[hide][/hide]

[Retech]

Wow! Libya really fights back hard.

 

 

Thank goodness they didn't send their troops into Egypt, and the bombing runs did negligible damage. :thumbsup:

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Pouring 80% into infrastructure, the other 20 is going to military and other needs.
