I recently sold all of my offensive weapons on KB to reduce monthly costs. I have no slave nations and no immediate plans to take one.
However, my offensive index has been static at 11.43 for some time now. I only have 1 military base and 1 airport and the costs of circa 4B, together with the index amount seem excessive. I have recently been able to increase monthly profit, but this cost is still something I can do without. Plus, I'm sure it doesn't take 79,650 personnel to man 1 airport and 1 base.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or an intentional occurence? Or some other reason, perhaps?
And while I'm here - does anybody know if there is a chart available for index points per offensive weapon? As there is for defensive weapons. It would prove handy when I go for Level 5.
Thanks

don't bother about that
just buy 60,000 MIBs on the way |

You don't need offensive index for any of the levels.
Check your units, as far as the offensive index goes. Check your stocks too. |

It could be ammo stocks, or lack of, that's caused the OI figure to be where it is. I definitely only have 1 airport and 1 base and have done for some time.
I thought that defensive index incorporated offensive weapons, but this is obviously not the case.

It does, 50% def, 25% off and 25% strategic. |

Ammo doesn't affect any of the indexes. |

Q - I read on a thread (by Laguna) that strategic ammo does impact the index. |
| Sir Michael (Little Upsilon) | Saturday, February 7, 2009 - 08:50 am
Yes,
Strategic ammo does affect the index. |

Ok I will defer on that one, as I don't have experience with nuclear weapon stocks.
However, Offensive and Defensive ammo has no effect on indexes. Which was Kiteless's concern (offensive).
Interesting that strategic ammo has an effect though. |

It's my understanding that ammo stocks do affect indexes. I believe that it is a lack of offensive ammo normally used monthly by the population that is the cause of the relatively high figure of my offensive index. Plus, a look at the OI figures of a few other countries appears to support this.
This matter is now being addressed with appropriate orders.
Also, I wasn't aware that the defensive index requirement for level 5 could be attained by simply doubling up on defense index, but I am now.
Thanks as always to those who have contributed |

I can assure you 100% that defensive and offensive ammo don't affect the indexes. Completely and totally. |

That may be the case, Q, but I'm still none the wiser as to why I have an offensive index figure of 11.43 for 1 airport and 1 base, and a subsequent monthly spend of circa 4B. |

Check to make sure you have no offensive units. No offensive weapons in stock.
There definitely is *something* causing that high of an offensive index.
For comparison, this is my main:
Offensive Force Index 0.68
Number of Soldiers 8,000
Number of Officers 1,600
Total size of Offensive Staff 9,600
Monthly Running Cost 24.44M SC$
I have the same 1 airport, 1 base.
Has to be something somewhere which is causing that index to be higher.

I had forgotten about this thread.
It's still stuck on 11.43.
I have sent an email, asking for it to be looked at and checked for possible errors. Something is clearly not right and Defense Index is not right, either. |
| Kiteless (Kebir Blue) | Friday, February 13, 2009 - 12:01 am
I know the cause of this now, hence problem resolved
It was caused by weapons in military wings - these have now been disbanded.
Can someone please confirm that a Defensive Force Index of 200 and other military indexes of zero equates to a Defense Force Index of 100?
I am going for level 5 purely on MIB's. I have the required number, plus a few more to speed it up. I am just waiting for the system to play catch-up with this and health. |
