This might be a stupid question, but was a cost of purchasing a country without president always 0? Where's the point of running a war against C3 country then? |

Just to clarify - I don't mean the first country you get when you register. I mean adding additional countries without president as slave countries to your empire. |

Looks like a big ass bug! Just bought one Country to test.
Don't use this feature right now as I guess this will be repaired and reversed all buying actions soon |

Yes, it seems ilogical :-) What would be stopping anyone to "buy" all free countries and plunder all their assets? :-)
Although I did later found this text under "account and membership>purchase a free country", which could mean that it is not a bug. I quote:
If you have a country in a world, you can peacefully extend it into an empire.
Find a free country (Computer Controlled) in that world.
Browse to the home page of that country and use the Purchase link. The cost is 0 Gold Coins. |

Free in this context means free of president |
| Tractor | Tuesday, November 4, 2014 - 10:53 pm
I understand that, but it also says, that the cost is 0 Gold Coins. |

Well, if you are too new to know, the regular price to buy a country this way is 300 GCs |

Yes, I am too new :-) Although I beleive I even saw this last week when I started playing. So, the big question is, is this a bug or a deliberate change. I hope we get the answer soon. I "purchased" a couple of countries before I started this thread, but I will stop further actions in this direction for now. Thanks for your help. |

Well, I'm no GM so my advice is only so you dont put too much effort into building up those countries when they might be taken away from you later. It still could be a Promotion as long as there is no answer from the GMs. |
