Giving sparrow the NRA.

or not. You only budgetted 26 gold for it, it requires 81.

your money is correct as it is.

[Sparrowhawk]

okay, I see where I messed up about the wonders (missed the base cost of the square of it's tech level part )

I don't understand the Tax income and my gold calculations (I get 10 cities x 9 Science x 5 x 1.5 Monarchy = 675) but I must be missing something.

Thanks for the quick response!!

oops
thought you were in despotism

I call bull**** on some of those numbers.

For one, I sabotages Ludd's trade. Even holding to your thing, his other trades shouldn't have given him money.

Spaced's trade should only have netted him 136 gold, which added to the 10 gold he got from taxes allows him to build 29 armies.

I think you should check the rest of your numbers, too.

I lost all the profit from my trade in that turn, otherwise I would've been two tech levels higher, have a new wonder, and also a larger army.


But thankfully almost everyone else reconized what a benevolent leader I am and chose Griegoria to trade with so I ended up with a base of 1162 gold this turn, plus any that was left over from the previous.

[tax](6x7x5)+ [trade](175 x 4) + 252 = 1162

(Expect the same thing to happen to sparrowhawk this turn, now that he has the tech lead)

Hmm, I had thought that spies would essentially remove a player from the market for a turn (others can't trade with them either), though let this run and see what happens.

That would've screwed up 6 player's turn orders in this situation. I think the way Gamecube has decided to manage it is more intune with the strength of the other possible espionage attacks.


EDIT: And Spaced Cowboy's trade is right, too. He has a republic which means his trade profits are 4x7x4x2=224 and his costs are 4+7x4=44 which makes the net income 224-44=180

with his city income that brings it to 190

43x4= 172 spent on army

and 6+9=15 spent on cities.

190-(172+15)= 3 gold left over.

There've been a lot of errors in this game...

[Spaced Cowboy]

??? I thought I built 3 cities????

However looking at it again it maybe Spaced should have more cash this turn.

His tax income is 3x5x5x2=150 Plus 3 gold left over (or did he need that for tech level 5?)

Unless I'm missing some factor.

Edit: I did miss a factor, the army upkeep. But it should still be higher; 150-43=107 ...

Unless I'm missing some other factor.

Sounds like a volunteer to GM next game

(Seriously though, I sympathesize with Gamecube or anyone else who has to GM this game, it is very complicated to track the many levels the game is working on)

Yes, it can't be fun at all (especially with everyone being more than eager to point out all his mistakes. ). He's either extremely generous or a masochist for doing it.

Seriously... there are computer games that probably have less required arithmetic than this.

[Gamecube64]

Spaced's true gold is 142, 8 for upkeep.

[General Ludd]

Why only 8 upkeep? He has 43 armies.

[Gamecube64]

Republic upkeep is armies/tech
Monarchy upkeep is armies/cities

[Sparrowhawk]

Orders Sent!

Not under the current rules.
