Title: Cybernations
Post by: Marlin Clock on April 10, 2008, 12:07:39 AM
This is a game that's a little like that Nation States except there are less issues and you can wage war.
//www.cybernations.net
It's pretty fun to an extent, and I was thinking of getting a Clock Crew alliance going. We'd need a good-sized amount to start, though, otherwise douchebags would raid the place, because war can be a bitch in this game.
Post if you're interested.

There are issues, and you can see their effects greater in cybernations, I believe.

I'm getting lots of messages to join alliances. I don't want to make a newbie mistake, but the prospect of three million in aid is appealing.

Remember that the optimum tax rate is usually 16%, 20%, 23%, 25% or 28%
To see which is best, press ctrl+a while looking at your population happiness. Pick which gives the greatest value (I think this is how it works I can't remember exactly)

I have spices and Fish for trade.

I'm going to have one condition first before we start this thing, most alliances in this game are total bureaucracies that I don't understand how they still exist for the fact of how boring they are. I don't want that to happen to us.

I played it when it came out a long time ago. I got a nuke. I nuked some Red alliance country. Got nuked by like 25 of their allies and they hated me forever and still ban me from their esper.net channel sometimes.

You can follow this: http://www.pwyh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=353
I'll give you some help here if that is tldr tho.

Looking at your resources dwarf, you probably wont have a whole lot of trouble finding trade partners. You can search for people on your team in the trading screen and find ones with the resources you want. Try not to get duplicate resources because you won't get overlapping bonuses.

Press ctrl+a when looking at the smiley face

To get maximum income, keep them as happy as possible.

That's so cheap and awesome.

I have them at 18.57 right now, and my tax rate is 20%. I've only 162 working citizens. If I maximize my tax rate I make more money and my happiness drops to just a grinning jumping dude. Is it worth the drop in happiness level for the extra cash, or is there something discreet I'd also be losing?

Yes, it's always worth it to have the highest tax rate.

I'm bringing this back because I'm thinking of finally forming an alliance for us Clocks.

The name I've been thinking of is "The Kingdom of the Portal" sound good?

I'm not doing poorly right now, partially because I bootstrapped a small alliance to facilitate tech trading. I plan on returning any aid they send me in due time and moving over with you guys, but I'm in the meantime I like building myself without worrying about leeching off of Marlin or something.

It's the principle of the thing really. Oh, and I'm on my way to becoming a real sin qua non military superpower. I'm going for my own version of the big eight, I just need to coerce someone with two of either gold, rubber, or oil to trade with me.

I think this isn't working out, guys. I'm going to disband the KotP, we just aren't big enough, we're going to get picked off. Find strong alliances and try to get in, that'd be your best bet.
