1. Corporations in C3 countries

C3 countries could not build some types of corporations. We prevented them from building nuclear industries and some related products.

This limitation is now abandoned. C3 countries can build all types corporations.

This is part of an effort to remove and reduce limitations of all kinds. In this case, the inability of C3 countries to build such corporations, and the too small number of such corporations, caused very large shortages. Despite the increased profitability, very few players have created such corporations and shortages increased on all worlds.

C3 countries have already begun to build these corporations and we expect the large shortages to be reduced. C3 corporations build only if the shortages are very high.

Once shortages are reduced to more acceptable levels, C3 countries will probably move away and build other types of corporations where the shortages are more severe

Kudos! Ty.

Awesome changes. Thank you!

By the way, WL19 is pretty much close to impossible haha. I can't imagine anyone will ever push to 22.

Very good!

I retract my previous statement about WL19 being impossible. I just did it!

Casualty Costs:
94,829 Offensive Air (330q), 22,701 MRMB (330q), 1.1 million Offensive Air Missiles (330q), 1 million MRMB missiles (330q), 40,000 Cruise Missiles (120q)

Comes to a total of around 36 trillion worth of equipment used.

Thank you for the update. These changes look absolutely awesome.


@John
Seriously?! I am really impressed. Well done sir, well done indeed.

OK
congratulations.

will add wl 23,24

John, how many GCs it gives for doing this?

I got 370 for WL 19

Yikes Andy. Im not even at 22 yet and you are going to hit me with two more haha. Evil.

Jeez... yeah I couldn't do that. 36T plus whatever strategy you use...

Casualties in terms of manpower: 220k dead, ~700k wounded.

I am in fact happy about it.
the automatic response seems to work

One day, a C3 will win a war. Then what?

when adding more levels, I will check if the "gradual" increase is indeed reasonable.

Yes the stealth bomber response is pretty challenging. At WL19 I believe there were 80 stealth bomber wings. Having interceptors deployed in my own country plus federation country helps immensely because I would get 3 interceptor wings to respond to the stealth counter strikes. I feel pretty confident I can get to WL20 now. I almost gave up on WL19 then decided to just power through it. I was expecting double the losses, so I guess my math was way off.

I imagine it's rather complicated, but what's your "recipe" for waging war?

will we be able to take the population of the c3 ? for our main countrys

Khome: the strategy that he uses is in the beginner forum and is called: 2019 Guide for Ground Based C3 attacks.

He just scales it up A LOT and i do mean a LOOOOOOOT

Ok, thanks!

You are welcome. Just give me a heads up when you have 80 countries again. I would love to see an empire of that size

Will do!

I think that some near future features will make it more interesting to have larger empires.

We have mixed feelings about large empires but decided to have this feature anyway.

also wars may become more popular.

We are writing a document to explain and will publish after the initial partial feature is part of the game, possibly next week.

sorry for being wage but I want to prevent "preemptive" action by players creating an advantage.

Just a thought on wars -what if you lose a war (PVP war) but could still keep your main country or (if having an empire a few countries) but in so doing you would be forced to pay reparations to the winning country. So you would not lose all of your assets just a few or some. Might make more players interested in the war aspect knowing they would not lose everything.

Andy, this already sounds interesting

Michael,

Your main country, (your choice which one it is) is war protected (not on FB)
in addition you can use temporary war protection.
