Look pal, we can continue to squabble 4ever about wood. I now think of an example of an extremely inactive town that only builds enough to not been shut down. That town might have a large wood stockpile. and it would make a highway if the wood from every day would be next to the wood of another day. So it would have to be on each other and you can't pick wood from the bottom, so at the bottom the wood would decay cause it being under all that other wood where it is humid and the sun doesn'tr shine, but hell, who cares about that. This debate is nonsense. You can 4ever make examples of wood not needing storage and I can 4ever make examples of wood needing storage, but there's no point to this, cause even if it wouldn't need storage, still EPs, fuel, salt and weapons would

So the fact remains the same: Only one of the resources that would in reality require storage requires it here. So I suggest that we focus on that fact from now on

As an ecotown, I plan to have just enough food so that I can maximize my wood production. Having an extra farm on means that 25 workers can't be chopping wood. If there was no decay in food, it would help ecotowns just as much as it would miltowns.

But in the eraly phase the gains of a military town would be bigger than those of an econome. And that's what I am reffering to. To the fact that economes would be very much below the militaries at that time. Maybe even to a sufficient degree for the militaries to try and keep them there.

And I must disagree, cause I know all too well that the true limit of a military town at the beginning is food. Cause I know that it is for really quite a time 'til weapons begin to be the limiting factor. Choosing enemies is easy. One only has to search for a near town that is low on military score and there you go, a target


And for the rest, I dunno what is safer, to be an econome or to be a military town. I disagree with you, JO is a RTS-TBS hybrid, not a RTS and then again, I agree with you that being online often is the key to success. hell, that's why I've been complaining about it, LOL

As hobbybob said before we are working on a solution the get a better balance between economics and military.
At this point we have increased the damage a military town can to towards an economical so i wonder if the round is going to end like others not if it is up to me

I still think a combination of acreage and overbuild % is the best way to go, this way towns will not be restricted in building a certain amount of buildings but it will cost them more.

Also i want to rethink the starting positions of different hero's. I was allready thinking of doing this the current round but hobbybob and i nearly finished the changed we had so far

I was also thinking of making your Townshall a upgradable building and do something with the amount of people working at the townshall and organising things in your town. Not sure yet what but we will think off something

Special Events: On Day 319 some morrons at the saltmine were playing around with dynamite.. resulting a big explosion, the mine is unusable now.. There are no new events at this moment

But I don't have any militia

One way of making towns build a balance is have riots or people leaving for needs not being met. For example a Simjericho town could have 1000 people leave to find a town that has an army for protection, or this Sim town could have an event such as " Your town had a St Patricks day Bash that got out of control, since there was no army to control the drunken bastards they destroy x amount of buildings and chased away 125 pretty towns women" ( similar to the current riots for attacking a week town). The same type of thing could happen to a town that has more army than civilians only it is the soldiers rioting.

soldiers riotting is maybe not my idea maybe threath of military coup but i like the idea

The problem with this is that the military was made by the mayor, so he is the military leader. This means that a military coup would be only benefitial for him.

[jerichoonline]

A military coup is rarely in benefit of the sitting leader

[Kanto]

In my opinion a military coup would be in benefit of the leader of the military. Which in this case is the mayor. That means that it would most probably strengthen his position drastically. Mayor elections would cease to exist and he would rule 'til he dies. Pretty much like Fidel Castro.


Btw, where's the cool George Bush Avatar you had? Get it back, we all miss it, LOL
