Hegemony

Look at the speed up, I don't think you can with money, but support only, I give you my support :)

[Seraphi]

Just saying, for the thing we're fighting over, the Bullet Trains, it will increase your budget by 5%, I think. The most any improvement can increase your IAG by is the one that increases it by 20%.

Nah, Archi said it increases Infrastructure by 5, which is the modifier you get to your base AIG.

 

Therefore it is multiplied by 5. The 20% one (I would guess) applies afterwards.

 

Now, I need sleep.

 

I will try to think up a better alternative to the wonder system at school tommorow, since complaining about something without being able to suggest something to replace it is just stupid.

[Retech]

Nope, that's not true. Anything below 1 is a percentage. Anything above 1 becomes a percent. Infrastructure of 5 becomes a 105% multiplier, while an infrastructure of 0.8 becomes an 80% modifier.

[Icuownage]

And I will be there to listen to his complaining XD

 

I better go too.

[Seraphi]

If that is indeed true, then this system is strange and confusing and I- *Zzzzzz*

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

I don't think I'm even going to bother with a wonder... I can think of other ways to spend money.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Will any other wonders be realeaed? Or is that all of them?

[Icuownage]

More, and you can create your own.

[Retech]

Anyone notice it's a hundred pages? :D

Some people are betting on who will win the war in South America. Right now, 4 out of 5 people bet that Brazil will lose.

That reminds me you are going to need to tell us exactly what you are sending (how did the essay go archi?)

I'm not sure what you mean?

 

EDIT: If Brazil loses the war against Argentina, I will grant the leader of Brazil a Darwin Award.

It was directed at meguy who if I remember correctly said he invaded argentina without telling us what he was invading with.

Technically, he attacked Argentina, not invaded it.

 

So, it could either be pissed the pissed off government hurling rocks at some random Argentinians, or he could have actually invaded it with a random number of troops.

Judging by the map, it looks like Brasilia and Rio have been taken.

Arcih, can you make a list of all the wonders announced so far and put it on the first page?

[The Dark Lord]

It looks like Brazil was fully conquered by Argentina.

Starting next year, I will be selling genetic treatments that will eliminate Cancer in future generations. I also have treatments available for diabetes, AIDS. The way this works is you have two options.

The first is to pay me a smaller amount (25-50b), and all of your citizens will be allowed treatment at facilities constructed on Corsica. Alternatively, for a larger amount (100b) I will send contractors to build a facility anywhere on your land. It will act as an embassy, so I will technically control the land it's on, and the employees will be Italian. If you're worried, you can check all contractors entering your land for weapons, though they are authorized to carry handguns (should relations with the host country be somewhat negative), they will not have anything else.

I attack argentina

meguy is shot by the Argentian army, Argentenia parades around with his/her head and Brazil surrenders.

 

Since I annexed Thailand, I get half of their IAG/GPD from now on, right?

Yup.

 

This system needed discussion and balancing before being implemented. There is still time to do so, before it becomes too far to reverse it without causing all sorts of problems.

Well, the increase by 5 thing has already been explained by Retech, so hopefully that is not a problem now.

I have been thinking about what you said though and can suggest a fix...Aid Missions.

 

They increase the infrastructure by twice that of spend on infrastructure for the 'mother country' and give the 'son' country gains in 20% of whatever that amount is, directly to its IAG.

So America spending 10% of the budget(200 Billion) on aid missions to Iran would mean:

America gains .2 Infrastructure

Iran gains 40 Billion in IAG.

 

The condition to the aid missions is that the 'son' country cannot increase grow beyond half its 'mother' country's IAG and still be on aid missions.

That would provide an incentive for large countries to improve small countries, without small countries being god modded to power to balance out the rich countries.

I do sympathise with you Ross, the wonder system could have been handled differently...But the intention of the system was to siphon off the massive excess budgets people had, prevent things like Doom's 'In a few years I can cure all diseases' research projects which are over powered but no one says anything because its quite useful, and give people a way to improve their countries, without allowing people to do, as in the last game, build things like the Basal Dam.

 

(how did the essay go archi?)

Very well, 2,129 words, needed between 2000 and 2500 so :thumbsup:

You asked a question about the Azimov Brain...I am gonna add a wonders Txt file to the Hege directory

For the record, the island under Italian control is Sardinia. Corsica is owned by the French government.

You don't own corsica (you own a different island) but I believe corsica is french.

I blame reading the comics, where the Dad says corsica is italian (though he gets it wrong) and I got confused. Yeah, it's Sardinia.

For anyone who is interested.

If anyone wants to add it to the Hegemony wiki they are more than welcome.

Anyone who wants to design me a site, they are also, more than welcome.

Images would be nice.

Archi, for what it's worth, no I can't cure all diseases. I'll be able to remove certain diseases that have a heavy genetic aspect from the genome. It's very pricey to do, and it doesn't have a 100% success rate, but it's all possible. Also, it wouldn't come into affect until the next generation anyway.

Doom it is one of those things which people get the wrong end of the stick, the person who said originally isn't there and an arguement blows up because no one can be bothered to look up the post from 500 pages ago.

Also, not everyone is as in line with my version of reasonable as you are.

 

And now for something completely different:
