Until Rumsod actually implements a new resource oil is the insanely overpowered.

Just got a set of 24 for an average of 44k each. I was so happy. Low standards :P

It was down to 14 on the econ page, I panicked and clicked as fast as I could.  I got about 20 before it got back to 50.

I think I may have accidentally received an optimal start.  I went mid-east, took the 500k start bonus, and found oil on the first day.  So I have access to oil money, which produces pretty efficient feedback, and allows me to build my military and domestic stats, without increasing the range of people who can attack me.  If you maintain ~115GDP and have two wells, you've doubled your funding a month.  Because I can stockpile oil, I can mass liquidate it and receive the bulk sums that I need to purchase expensive upgrades.    I had to choose, at ~120 gdp, whether I wanted to have some form of an air-force or drilling the new 650k well.

This is probably old meta discussion by now, but is there a mechanic I've not seen yet to retard this growth, or is getting oil really that op?

I will stop playing this game as I have lost interest. My country was Rittenlandt.

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

If you're getting bored from a lack of war, you can always join Schism and go to town on someone you don't like. Otherwise, feel free to leave us your stuff

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

Sorry to hear that. Although there are plenty of alliances around who are war centered.

That's me, and like I said on our forums I've plasterd fake posters and had fake walls built to temporarily cover out glorious communistic trappings so that I may lul overly generous capitalists into giving away their oil to me.

120 oil for 10k troops?  Yes please.  At the old 30k oil price that's 3.6 mil, at the current average of 60k that's 7.2 mil and the price that the other major bulk sellers are doing right now until we have a bulk transfer option of 75k that's 9 mil.  So yeah, I'll pretend to be be west for a day or two and get 240 oil for 60 orders of Istans.

Also seeing as Gryph quit you can't really join Schism, seeing as you have to be invited to an alliance before you can join.
