Ok, so after being pissed off about certain things latly with the war engine.. Wendy, yes it did come true lol. The GM decided to hit some of my countries with earthquakes. A light one on FB.. not to bad. But i got hit with a major on KB as well. Funny though.. they managed to fuck that up as well. I went to my main on KB and saw this:
November 26 3055, a Major Earth Quake occurred in Shuttle Command.
The Major Earth Quake was felt in your country as well.
So.. naturaly i went to my country on KB Shuttle Command.. and saw..... absolutly nothing has occured. Thank you GM for proving my point. Now i gusse i got to wait for more mass destruction LOL. |

(sorry.. me post strong words... me thinks appropriate ).. GET MY DRIFT?? |

precisely, drifting continents cause earthquakes. me being a geologist of course.LOL
However, Id find it incredible if every country in the game was eligible for an earthquake depending on how appeased the gods (the GM) felt against a particular player. I thought there was supposed to be an an element of randomness. If not, were all living in fear!!!!!! |
| Green Paws (Little Upsilon) | Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 11:38 am
It is random. |

FWIW two of the six earthquakes on WG this year have happened in countries whose capital is named "Invictus". The earthquake god laughs at those who think they are masters of their fate. |

LooooL! Natural disasters can be of benefit to you if you know what you are doing ;)
Live and learn chuckles. |

minor earth quakes minor pop loss not too bad
major earthquake next month you will lose some corporations
my slave got hit by an 8.5 earthquake 6 companies destroyed
1 a private one
so I just rebuild every company type that I lost
3 hospital
1 mineral
2 ELP |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 07:49 am
if you don't set up the disaster relief you loose pop
most of it can come from country goods
but
you will also need
paper
machine parts
industrial equip
electric comp
electronic comp
cargo planes can move relief items from one country to another
its faster to buy off your companies
so if you have a
book
industrial equip
computer or cars or something like it
you can just buy what you need
all country owned |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 07:50 am
add an oil or FMU |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 07:52 am
also build mat
so you need something that consume like FMU
or a hospital |

Ever heard of immediate buy? |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 08:01 pm
yes but it costs alot and its faster buy off the companies |
| Green Paws (Little Upsilon) | Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 09:16 pm
I love "immediate buying". I often think it's worth the extra money. |

2 quakes in 24 hours on 2 different worlds.
Is it really random? |
| Solaris (Kebir Blue) | Friday, September 2, 2011 - 10:38 pm
Another quake  |
| FattyMcButterPants (Little Upsilon) | Friday, September 2, 2011 - 11:07 pm
lol, the mere mention of Earthquakes... begets an Earthquake
By the end of this post, someone will be struck with an earthquake...
Shhhhh...... |
| Tom Morgan (Kebir Blue) | Saturday, September 3, 2011 - 01:17 am
Fatty, sounds like a promo for desperate housewives :S |
| Noproblem (Fearless Blue) | Saturday, September 3, 2011 - 09:48 pm
Disasters are sometimes retaliatory, I think. Not for what you say, but for what you did or did not do in your country. A lot of unemployed and no new corporations? A serious drop in defense index?
Serious financial difficulties that are not being worked on? I too have had several quakes recently. |
| Matt Patton (Golden Rainbow) | Monday, September 5, 2011 - 06:13 am
I think they are just a random occurrence |
| Solaris (White Giant) | Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 12:42 pm
Yet another quake |
| Solaris (Little Upsilon) | Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 07:10 pm
And another one. That's 5 in less than 2 weeks. |
| Laguna | Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 09:06 pm
Feel the love! and accept it. |
| Garry Freeman (White Giant) | Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 09:35 pm
If you think earthquakes are single point events then you are unfortunatley misguided. They are always followed by aftershocks which may be as strong or stronger than the first one and can occur for weeks after the initial event. However, the worlds don't seem to have defined plate tectonic boundaries, hint hint. |
| Hanma Selis (White Giant) | Sunday, September 11, 2011 - 05:08 am
I notice we get hit by earthquakes, but not a lot of other natural disasters. |
| Laguna | Sunday, September 11, 2011 - 02:02 pm
Pollution gets so bad, other natural disasters become extinct in the year 3000. |
