Wow, looks like someone bought about 145,000 attack drones around November 2598. It's taking the market a while to recoup from that... My orders have been unfilled for a number of months.
C'mon, these C3 countries aren't going to invade themselves! |

Just to follow up with a question...
In fully developed countries, are purchases like this common? |
| John R | Saturday, January 3, 2009 - 03:51 am
Only when there's war brewing!
Or someone may just be building stocks for future conflicts. When I buy weapons I'm not aiming to conquer someone... in particular.
Those orders aren't mine, by the way.
These purchases aren't done by developed countries, but by developed Empires. I reckon three or four countries were used.
By the way, if you want some Drones, send a message to my enterprise Terra with how many and destination. |

Good to know. And thank you for the offer. |

War is good, and a long time coming for WG. Been much too quiet for some time. But not for long if my radar is correct. |

I frequently use all of my military spending space in one session. In order to move through faster I just order one maybe two weapon type(s) in each country. Maximum spending space is 1.05T. One empire with 6 countries could do it.
Someone may have believed that attack drones are useless and then he/she read the documentation and changed his/her mind.
One post in a federation forum could inspire 6 people to buy drones once.
A huge war brewing would not explain why Jeeps went from -500,000 deficit to 80,000 surplus.
There is also a spike in conventional missile batteries, heavy artillery, and bombers in February. Each of the three graphs have a second spike three months later. (actually H-artillery and bomber demand stops declining but that often means someone bought some) February is a large spike and May is a smaller second one. My guess is that someone did not have enough military spending space to cause a second large second spike. So one person is quite likely.
You could also point at a switched strategy. Drones, con-missiles, p-bombs and artillery are all good for targeting civilians and infrastructure. |

I might be as well a part of this outrage! If anyone can find out who took away our chances for a new and awesome military capability, bless them, and we'll beat the crap out of the wiseguy that chose such a decision. No offense to whoever bought those Attack Drones, though. :P
Oh, but for some reason, Heavy Jeeps in large quantities are effective against civilian targets. They are too weak and too agile to be destroyed, I guess. Or it could be a glitch with my country. At least it works for me!
One more thing to note, when I first played the game, my first act as Caesar of the Kingdom of Zoomia was to conspire against this C3 country west of me and spur my economy forward in the process. But none of that's important, becuase my first trade order was ATTACK DRONES! I only have a few of them, and I can't wait to gather enough aricraft to put them into my air wings.
And then when that's done, conquests will go much faster. It's like the US pounding insurgents on the ground with their Predator UAVs. Hehehe.....
Goodbye. |

All of your ' outrage ' is more than a year old, so STFU and get off the forums.
Thanks.
:D |

Sorry...
Didn't mean it. Guess I don't like to pay attention, huh? LOL |
