Okay, time for some balancing suggestions!

Unit production should be limited at about 1-2000 per barrack and such.

I believe the number of patriots already serves that purpose.

I don't think Patriots serve any purpose besides as a loyalty count...

Patriot=Loyalty with a different name.

Yes, limitations sound good o_o Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Expected update: Junk balance change(gets a price perhaps), research codification, espionage.

And hopefully smaller production limits. Or a unit limit per buiding per turn anyway :P

I could swear patriots were the equivalent of manpower. Still, since the are not, I suggest implemeting manpower all the same. Not ony it limits the number of units, but it also incentivates the use of more powerful units, rather than upgraded chaff spam. 'night.

Oh, yeah, limits :P

If patriots were manpower, two clippers would make your capital revolt. Since RL clippers were manned by roughly 40 people.

Working on my turn now. Do I get to spend the money I took in last turn, or can no action be taken for that?

EDIT: I should probably warn people first. Does anyone mind horribly if I take the 8 home continent tiles immediately surrounding me? It appears pretty easy, though they're nigh worthless. They're just a buffer for if I get invaded, and also to give me a port. I will even pinky-promise not to go all Nazi Germany and lay a claim on your homelands. Heck, I've already got a truce with my southern neighborpals.

By the by, And I find this to be very very important.

I have no reason to be researching any joint projects. I have no agreements. I have no intention of agreements. My research, is alone.

We are well aware of that. Skyrunner had initially assumed that, by investing the same value, you and CG were Joint Researching. That has already been fixed though.

So it was 'fixed' without being mentioned, acknowledged, or updated on either of our turn posts. Thats terribly helpful.

I was in a hurry, I only got the time to check wheter there was any change now. To be more specific, I had Skyrunner acknowledge that there never was, in fact, a Joint Research between you and CG, alas, it seems she has yet to change it. All I can tell you is that she is already aware of that. I'd change it myself, but nor am I a GM nor can I edit the entry. It won't change your current Educaton level, but a recalculation of your curret progress towards level 1 is also due.

One : I AM NOT A HE FOR (someone's) SAKE!

Two: I did not change it because I went to school.

Three: I did not fix it at all. If I did, I would have noted it HERE.


Four : About your question, the only thing S&P reminds me of (out of context) is Standard's and Poor's 500 index. Please, context?

         edit: Oh, that meant Shipping and Processing.


Today, I will add Specialists, unit limits, modify the unit stats, add Endgame Technology, and do something else I forgot.

Today, I will add Specialists.

1. Duly noted.
2. I might have come out the wrong way, but I did not intend to sound patronizing about it, hence, I wasn't really askin what you had been doing instead of updating.
3. Wrong quote, I assumed you had already fixed it, and, due to lack of time, didn't bother checking. Terenos corrected me on that, you just quoted my confimation of which I had, in fact, been wrong about it having been dealt with. That aside, no, it cannot be expected of me to assume that it would have been noted here, after all, you didn't announce a log of the turn's edits.
4. PMed.

That aside, will there be economically focused specialists?
