These ancient artifacts are quite powerful. Are they all discovered randomly or are the ones found linked to the nation's profile? I tend toward democracy and have never found an android assassin. Would a different profile increase the chance to find one?

Interesting:

Send the prisoners to the gulag to starve? +autocracy, +fist
Send the prisoners to work camps? +government, +enforcement
Exchange prisoners? +heart

Yea Gaz. I didn't notice any increase in population when capturing troops. I was concerned when Regina crashed that I would run out of food, but that didn't happen either.

I agree with Synesthesia942. A dissolution war reroll would be great when trying to balance an interesting map for multiplayer. Seems like one player in a 4 player game is always off by themselves without a minor regime nearby to absorb.

I agree. These decisions are part of a downward spiral with disaffected leaders.

It appears that a city, surrounded by enemy, that contains a SHQ, can continue to buy from the market even when trade is stopped between the two regimes. This prevents any effective siege tactics.

In fact, I've had to redesign every single tank model the whole game because of a tendency to pick a big gun and thick armor.

Oh Mark, that is hilarious. I actually lost sleep over that regiment! They are at least in a good spot to block an invasion.

Mark suggested that I run the original turn that crashed with the new patch, and both rebels appear without the crash.

Running on 1.05b8 now and everything seems fine. Will have to wait for a chance to use the "Rebels" card twice in the same turn on Mark.[;)]

It appears we have a work around for now.

In a multiplayer game, turn 98, at war with Republic of Gaz. Get the "Rebels in Soberholt" event, choose to assist, then the crash.<br/>

Wow, Nachtjager, 140 turns. We are at 95. Tell us, rockets or missiles? Walkers or Tanks? I've never gone this deep into the tech tree before.

Wow, no metal mines. Sounds like a tough challenge. What kind of world? Ice?

Yes, very nice.

<t> I have to disagree about the FUN aspect. I am enjoying it very much and have played it longer and more frequently than any other game in the last several years. What AI isn't eventually predictable, but this one is more than adequate to learn what to expect from the systems. Now I am in a ...

I think it sea units would be a great handicap for the AI (judging by Advanced Tactics Gold), but fantastic in multiplayer. Perhaps it should be an option to turn on or off if/when implemented.

Woa, I've never checked my letterbox. A lot of bills in here. Mark, you can't trust that Bluto guy, I learned from cartoons.

<t> I've tried using the message feature in the Strategic Map tab to try and communicate with other human opponents. I get a text box, write the message, send it and get a "message sent" confirmation, but I don't believe anyone has received one.<br/>
