Or some people could specialize in it.

As for research lab, well RedKing did a lot of it. I'm focusing on production rather than research, but I think I'll found a university once I get a second province.

[Funk]

Okay, so we should all produce a small amount of uniforms, food and cash?
And ammo too or course.

yes it will add up over time and any spare can be shiped a round.
but if some one specialize that is great but specializeing will add to the need for trucks and trains.

RedKing just go a research grant (10K cash).

the 3 inch AA gun will take 32 hours.

[Sheb]

Well, my ETA for the first plane is around 31 days :p. But it was 160 days yesterday, I should produce one a day within a week.

Do you mean targeting submarines makes me dumb ?

Eh? What are you responding to?

In other news, as it stands right now I can produce 100 Infantry every 24 days. Hmm think I need to upgrade my factories a bit.

Sort of replying to Sheb...

If even tiny planes take so long, how could I build some ship ?

[majikero]

Can't you just invade me, add it to the pool, I join the province next to it and give my old province back? This is kinda roundabout and probably cheating the system.

Technically yes, but it takes 3 days to take over a province. You might be able to rereg as the other province during the invasion period though, not sure.

This is still a beta. We should be testing the limits of the system and report our findings to the game creators. We should try it, you know, FOR SCIENCE!

You need to focus on production, and team up with neighbouring provinces to supply you with resources.

Bear in mind that a fleet isn't filled with hundreds of ships.  You won't be building subs on the quantity amount that planes or infantry need to be built.

When you count in that that it takes 500K Production points to make one single full strength unit of planes (I think, if they require 100 planes per unit like other vehicles) it actually isn't as bad as you think, with that same production points dedicated to naval you could build almost 9 subs. (Which I think each have their own "Unit")

Wait where do you get the man power to produce so much infantry?

Google doc link can we get it in the original post?

You don't use manpower to produce infantry, only to raise the infantry you produced into units.

Think of it as making the guns, mortars, shovels, machine guns and such.

[King Cow]

Oh but that is the biggest choke point I think.

[andrea]

you get that much man power by draining it from the whole nation.

a city that produces 50 pop/hour ( quite high level) can produce 1200 pop daily, actually, which might be enough to keep up with your factories. but support from other provinces surely help.

edit: well, true. you need manpower only to deploy the units. however, rifles aren't much useful in a warehouse, when we need them on the battlefield.

[King Cow]

Should we send the google doc link by message to everyone in game?

[andrea]

might be useful, as long as we can be sure there are no spies there. if the spreadsheet gets in the hand of our enemies, they will be able to do surgical strikes on our most critical provinces.
