Hi all,

there are some specific changes coming for next set to FFA that you should all check out.
http://forums.earthempires.com/...rted-changes-for-may-2010

the two specific FFA ones are:
- Country limit increased from 15 to 16 countries per user
- The 2b limit on cash and food will be removed and replaced with a 0.1% per turn corruption loss for holding >2b cash.

Everyone should give it a read before starting their new countries in a few hours!

ya, like snawdog said, it's so that you can fill up your tech rings & def/off allies fully, if you're the type of player who wants to :p

Super gay changes, way to make destocking that much easier, now you just unload all your money at once, and wait for military to come on, instead of having to do many small controlled dumps

<~qzjul> it gives you a good introduction to orbital mechanics and a good appreciation for how central delta-V is and thrust to weight ratio
<RaTSFYA>The only thrust to weight ratio I'm worried about involves the women I pick up at bars

If it's that easy, does that mean EVERYBODY will win?

Finally did the signature thing.

No not everyone will win, your just making it so the people that where getting 800 mil will now get 2 bil, and the people that were getting 140 mil are getting 300 mil.

It does nothing for the game but make bigger numbers

are you trying to turn this into another Mars???

also another feature that would be beneficial to the whole of the game is a sell/destroy all button.

say you want to sell 546,452,156 bushels.. instead of typing all the numbers in can't you please add a sell max amount button would help exponentially to reselling strategies and commies and farmers, techers etc etc and would help conserve bandwidth since you won't be sitting there punching in a million numbers a day

spawn, i don't know who made that either, but i used to use it last set but then it just stopped working. i couldn't find any update for it, or even the page where i got it from so im not sure if the person ever updated it.

fear the turtles.
