SCENARIO: Modern World (In Progress! Nitpickers needed!)

[sabrewolf]

wow, neat tech screen. i wonder how long it took to place all of them and draw the arrows

the icons could use some adapting. a symbol of an atom doesn't fit to "advanced flight" and that monotheistic icon isn't very representative for synthetic fibers

btw: i reckon this is a merge of late industrial and all of the modern age together with a few other things (fiber optics, etc.)

Rrg! something about posting images today (and yes I know how to, poly just is being mean)

[sabrewolf]

oh... only because most countries don't have a space flight program, doesn't mean they don't have space flight technology.
it's just way too expensive and there is no short term benefit

[sabrewolf]

how did you post that size? nothing about it in the apolyton/community forum

Well you could say that some people from Bhutan do know what eCommerce is and how it works, but you can't really say that Bhutan "knows" the tech. IMO, having a tech means that you have the resources to make it somewhat available in your country, not just that you know what it is cause you have seen it somewhere else.

Most, but I'm not gonna say all countries will have space flight.

How about "Adjustable Currencies"?

well, if you make a bhutan civ i'll agree with you that eCommerce shouldn't be known yet *lol*

What do you mean?

uhm, you were saying "something about posting images today" a few posts ago. then you posted this large screenshot... i wanted to know how you did that

btw: sagacious dolphin's avatar (e.g. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...21#post1601321) isn't bad either

[sabrewolf]

oh, and one more thing:

i suggest you put up the costs for the newer units like MA, MI and bombers. it's way too cheap and easy to build it presently (in a powerhouse with extra resources you can do it in 1-2 turns).
same for techs. tech rate should be slow, otherwise bhutan will have eCommerce after 4 turns
and upkeep for army should be more than 1 per unit. makes you think first, before you create a superarmy without enough trade

Hello, I thought I would chip in with some information on the relative power of various countries. The countries are ranked in order of their power in that particular area from strongest to weakest.

Roman, that is very helpful. Post more, please.

Yes, it's always nice to have concrete numbers instead of ranting! But what about Ukraine, Byelorussia, Khazahkstan, Uzbekistan? I know they're not declared nuclear powers, but they do possess arsenals, or at least a good deal of nuclear materiel...

why on earth does any nation need more than 50 nukes?

How else are you going to defeat your foe 50 times?

exactly... and you don't want him to come out of the bunker after only 2 years. 100 years at least

i no the USSR and USA out-built each other to demonstrate power and absolut insanity. but i can't understand why newer nuclear powers (israel, india, pakistan) do the same?
