West food production reduction update was definitely something this game needed. I can't be mad about huge population crash afterwards. Game is going in the right direction in regards of balancing, great job :)
Hopefully we will see some new features soon.
War spoils need to be fixed soon. Game is really fun in the beginning but after you start warring, the game breaks and numbers get crazy. In my first game I gained couple hundred genes and then after reset, I just conquered West all the time. Now I am at level 93 west and level 143 east. I don't even have any farmers but still my population is 220 trillion. This is absurd. Almost all of them are unemployd and I have no tools or no cars. I am just sitting here with huge population generating genes super fast. If I reset now, I get 150 000 genes... and if I wait hour more I think I am going to hit million genes. War has ruined this game.
@sendicard I have been doing some testing of my own and it seems the power drops everytime you "lose" the war. At some point the enemy will have so much manpower that they will kill all your soldiers in one round. If you have enough power to kill all their soldiers aswel from 100% 0% in one round you still win even though you have lost all your men too and you will have full power when the next round begins. If the enemy will not lose all health, like if they have 10% left, your power drops as you have "lost" the war. I don't know hy your power drops like this after losing but it can be refreshed just by choosing "Hold" on the war manu and then choosing where to attack again. It is hard to explain but this is how it goes :s
@blebcake you are wrong. War is way too profitable and should be toned down by atleast 9/10. This is some of my stats: I make 181 trillion gold. 180 of that gold I get from conquered nations so I would only make 1 trillion without war. That is insane. Second example is my food. I make 18 billion food yet I only produce 2 billion myself. If I would conquer next nation on the West, I would gain 32 billion food. That is ridicilous and I am not going to conquer that because I have no means to make enough tools for so many people. War is completely unbalanced.
I really love this game. I played all day yesterday while doing other stuff at my computer and now I have 50 million people. While game is really fun, there sure is lot of things that could use some tweaking. I hope the game becomes more complex in the future and I have some ideas. I would like to see more info on my nation. Maybe add crimerate that can be affected by buying more police stations and/or hiring more police? Crimerate could affect mood and income for example and high crimerate could raise death ratios too. How about adding "wonders", a one time purchasable super expensive buildings/monuments that give small boost to your nation? Some examples: Wall street - gives 10% boost to all income. Pyramids - 10% boost to farming. Genetic research facility - generates more genes. Apollo Mission - Gives mood(?orsomething?). Mars mission, Manhattan Project, Internet, Hollywood, well you get the point, there are endless posibilities on wonders.
Civ! Already working on greatimg more complex model with education and much cooler financial system. That would simulate bringing your country from developig country status to dwveloped country status and solving all the problems in the meantime.
The game was way too easy. I didn't lose even one race (I replayed one race for extra cash) and I bought only 2 cars. First I bought motorcycle and then I bought the last car because I could do just fine with the motorcycle.
