So the in game "Advisor" on my relations page gave me THIS message:


Duplicate allies!

The benefit of a trade pact is very limited: it allows us to see a few special details about an ally and to send foreign aid packages. However, we can already send foreign aid packages to one of our trade allies through another type of pact. We should end the trade alliance unless we need to see those extra details."
My question is this: I'm on the Primary Server-this page IN the primary server, is telling me that I can send Foreign Aid...so...how do I do it?

You can't. Solo servers have Foreign Aid disabled (Primary, Express, Tournament) to prevent cheating.

Trade Pacts do absolutely nothing on these 3 servers, and just waste your upkeep.

the point he is trying to make is that because it is primary server, the game adviser should not be showing him that message :P

minor quibbles! but fair enough; When i come round to the advisor again, I'll try to fix cases like this

What's your country's government? If it's a commie, you can just shoot your adviser in the head for giving you bad advice.

If it's a monarchy, you can put him in a dungeon for the rest of his life. And his family, for the rest of their lives, as well.

If it's a democracy or a republic, you can double his salary, set him up with his own investment advisory corporation, and have him receive kickbacks from investment opportunities in medical rehab facilities in California. When it inevitably hits the fan, give him his golden parachute (literally, a parachute made of gold) so when he uses it, he falls to his death.

If it's a fascism, just send him to an "interesting" corner of the country and have him count trees. Then drown him in a vat of oil on the day he retires.

A theo government can just declare him an infidel, declare a fatwa on him and his family, then bomb the marketplace he's shopping in at the time, as a warning to others.

If you're a dict, just strip him naked, tie him to a tree in the jungle, slather him with honey, and let any predator that comes along have its way with him. From the bear protecting her young to the ants using their new diving board (then eating it).

nuke forgot tyranny. :P

Well, tyranny is the same as commie, except you do it in one turn.
