Same for me. Guess it is fair to say it is broken... :-)

I also got a captcha with clear, but cyrillic characters

I have done an updated version of the status cleaner that you can try:

The download site is a bit annoying, but it was the first one I found...

DBD code monkey

I must be missing something here because I can't find any search link...

Is it just me that don't get qzjul's calculation a few posts up?

Directly after Team ended I attempted to create a new country and it gave an error message indicating the server didn't start for another 24 hours (implying the creation failed). When I now look at the list of countries I can see a new country with the name I chose.

Maybe that is just me being a wee bit drunk, but it looked odd to me.

Bushel prices statistics for the latest 24 hours... There seem to be lots of deliberate transfers going on. That's at least 70M NW moved around.

PRICE	VOLUME	MILLIONS
400	  6.4	 2545
270	 24	 6474
 90	114.6	10314
 85	  5.7	  483
 71	 30	 2130
 70	 53	 3710

I would say the cutoff will be about 45M NW for a top10 this reset due to people will destock at $38-39 per bushel instead of 31-32.

I would like to be able to see what I have put onto the public market to sell in the Market News.

I actually had to look for some time before I found the page with the rules. It could be worthwhile having a link to them a bit more visible.

Just out of interest, how long is the grace period after being hit until I'm no longer considered being hit upon?

I think this is rather pathetic and that the Team server need an overhaul to make it truly team vs. team.

DBD did a single retal on reVENGe and for that you decided to kill the team a week later? Is that your "...grabbed us so much..." argument?

Is this only supposed to work when you are being hit or anytime when you are logged in?

I was buying from the public market and got kicked out to the captcha a couple of minutes ago. Alliance server.

I saw that as well. Immediately after last reset ended you could create new countries, but not in the way that lets you keep the place in the tournament.

If I have 1,000 tanks in the internal market and buy 999 on the public, it will now buy all of them on the internal market if it is cheaper. If I instead buy 1,001, it will buy all of them from the public market?

From what I remember, in Earth:2025 it would have bought 1,000 on the internal market (if it is the lowest price) and the remaining 1 on the public market.

It looks like it is back to not looking at the internal market when you buy on the public, even if you have cheaper goods on the internal market.

The bug is no longer there, but is the functionality as intended?

I bought some tanks on the public market and got the message:
"Some of these goods were purchased for a better price on your private market."

When I then looked at the internal market, the number of available tanks to buy was "-225,665"

I then tried to buy one tank from there and got:

"You purchased nothing. Please ensure you entered a valid amount of goods to purchase", which seems reasonable and it then showed the quantity available as 0.

I have seen this several times in Primary as well. At the time I and my defense ally had several million turrets each in defense yet he lost nothing, at least according to my message.

I just logged in with it saying 18.3 hours in the portal for Tournament and got a 3 turn bonus.

I also logged into Alliance at 18.1 hours right before and got a 6 turn bonus.

Something do seem to be amiss here.

Windows 6.1 is what is normally called Windows 7 and comes with IE8 which works fine with Earth.

Or do you perhaps mean the 2 year old Windows Mobile 6.1?

Does the 90% military strength of a republic affect the spies?

I seem to remember it used to in the old Earth.

Desktop, laptop and in worst case iPhone, although I couldn't play Earth using Opera Mini on the iPhone

Very nice.

Thanks.

My first thought was to give some examples how ridiculously complicated localisation is, but then I realised you meant translations, not localisation.

Still, translation by itself involves quite a lot of work if you have a system that today is using hard coded strings.

An example would be when you realize you need to support Unicode throughout the application, including in the queries in the database. This can be a major task to handle if you don't support it today.

A tip would be to set up limits on the number of characters for each translation. A two character word in English can easily be 15 characters in another language and it can mess up layouts if you allow too long translations.

If you are doing languages like Chinese or Japanese your page layout need to work when the font is increased to at least twice the size. Since this is webpages an alternative CSS might do.

If you are ambitious you could also support RTL (right to left) languages like Arabic, but that tend be even more complicated.

I would argue quite strongly for a FIFO market model.

I see no point with LIFO as an Earth market principle more than a way to opening up the market for manipulation. FIFO is far more fair.

I suggest replacing the existing Medical tech (which almost no one uses) with something people would want more. I suggest "Survey" tech, which would increase your explore rate with up to say 25% or 50% to give it nice round max figures.

Looking at the volumes sold, Medical stands for 1.1% on Alliance, 0.3% on Tourney and 0.2% on Team and Primary.

No, it wasn't. Stop using my name in vain. And it's not nice to refer to someone who hasn't even posted in the thread. Poor imo. She always gets the blame.

#54 was mine

Excellent.

Thanks.

Example:
I'm a dictator (25% military bonus) with 140% weapons tech and two defensive allies (one dictator, one monarchy) which both have 120% weapons tech and exactly the same defense forces I have; 1 million turrets each and nothing else.

1. What is "required" (ignoring the randomness) to break my defense in an SS?

2. Is there a difference if it was a BR instead of a SS?

3. Is the formula for offensive allies the same?

No quiche eaters among the Earth administrators!
