OT: Cyber Nation

[Beck]

Capq: According to this from the CN website, neither strength or team affilation is a factor. Were you doing from the nation's details screen you wanted to help?

The foreign aid screen allows you to send aid to any other nation within Cyber Nations in the form of money, technology, and/or military assistance. Sending foreign aid does not require nations to be on the same team nor is strength a factor in the foreign aid system. To send aid to another nation simply view the nations details screen for the nation you want to send aid to and click the �Aid� link at the top of the page. Fill in the details of the foreign aid offer that you are sending and click the �Offer Foreign Aid� button. Once your aid offer is submitted a private message will be sent to the recipient notifying them of your foreign aid offer. Until the recipient reviews the foreign aid offer and accepts it the aid offer will be placed in pending status. While in pending status both nations have the option to cancel the offer. Once accepted however an aid offer cannot be canceled or deleted until the offer expires. By accepting a foreign aid offer the aid items sent will be credited to the receiver�s nation and debited from the sender�s nation. For example, if Nation A sends $10.00, 5 technology, and 500 soldiers Nation B will be credited with those items and Nation A will lose those items upon acceptance. The maximum offer for any foreign aid offer is $3,000,000 cash, 50 technology, and 2,000 soldiers.

Oh, the war is already over? Darn...

It is from my end. He slaughtered me. I had to sue for peace as someone was reinforcing him and all of a sudden he had escorted bombers and 500 soldiers. I learned that just because someone isn't in an alliance doesn't mean they don't have allies. I can't say that I would be sorry to see something happen to the F.U.S.S.R., but if he decides to come at me again I won't be able to fight back.

That will change shortly once you see the effects that the donation will have. You'll be able to produce your own tanks, fighters and bombers. They'll be defensive in nature only until you can get out of anarchy.

[Forlorn_Hope]

Go with fighters, bombers are bloody all useless on defense.

Hmmm, I may end up being in a wee bit of trouble here. A guy I've been using as my own personal cash cow, Inkxh, has $1,000,000 in financial aid pending from someone affiliated with The Legion. My latest attack threw Inkxh into anarchy (and netted me $3500 ), so he may not be able to do anything until that's over (I'm not sure how anarchy works), but if he comes after me with $1,000,000 behind him...I might be in trouble Ah well, we shall see

[Baron Munchausen]

Anarchy doesn't prevent military maneuvers. It just reduces population happiness, and so cuts tax revenues. As soon as he logs in to accept that aid he will be able to attack you. Be afraid.

I guess the idea floating around to form a second 'peaceful only' alliance is a good one. One of these random 'adventures' in search of booty is likely to get us all into very big trouble.

Who is the 'Blue Turtle' alliance? Is it controlled by someone known to people in our alliance? And what about some of the other small alliances like 'Band of Brothers' that was also fighting razorite? (In fact, another member of that alliance has gone to war against razorite -- he just can't get any peace! )

[Forlorn_Hope]

If the aid is pending, attack the person who is sending it. If the aid is accepted, attack the person who has accepted it. Aid doesn't change hands until it's been accepted.

They are an Aqua Team alliance with roughly 58 members but alliance strength is about five times our current strength. They don't condone the use of nukes. They seem to be largely a peaceful alliance. They contacted us back early in this thread and CW was negogiating with them. Haven't heard any results of the discussions.

The nation that sent the aid has a strength of 15,778! No one in our alliance is even close to being able to attack him. More importantly, he's a member of The Legion -- one of the most powerful alliances in the game. Even if we could attack him, it would be certain death.

[Atrocities]

I am a member of the Legion. Given what I know of them, if you attack them, they will obliterate every member in the WP alliance. So don't attack them.
