Question

is there any possibility for free members to purchase or acquire strategic weapon systems at all?

No
This keeps comming up and no

This is to prevent peope from comming in buying nukes, blowing up things and leaving

lol

No
this is stupid , countries should be able to purchase atleast some strategic weapons once they reach a certain milestone

dont u have creativity at all? @evader23

i know that game wants to encourage premium purchase but this is too much constraint

Latato,
It isn't stupid. I agree with Evader. We don't want random people coming in, nuking people, and leave oh so simple. Not a long time ago, there was no such thing as a free membership. Only free trials for like 2 weeks or so. You are lucky that there is free membership.

i never mentioned that countries should be able to purchase nukes from day 1.

countries should be able to purchase atleast some other strategic weapons after reaching a certain milestone such as army index/game level/war level/pop/finance/welfare etc

and ps., dont talk to me as if iam a slave @Nico

The game itself is the one thats lucky to have a free membership facility, not me

the game should allow players to buy or build whatever they want.

free playing as existing is fine, no rewards for game levels.

game levels to buy each type of corp needs to make sense, such as lower game level corps should have fewer workers than higher game level corps. at the moment, seem just random choice of which corps belong to which game levels.

civilization has progress development, so game levels should at least follow that. that is you can't build a nuclear weapons corp if you have just so many farmers in your country (nothing against farmers here okay )

lastly why would you want nukes to fight with other players or c3 anyways? nukes are too expensive and too much requirements.

just stick with your airforces, landforces, navies, special ops, etc....

there are too many military wares in sc already, just look at the product list....we need more food products in sc

I agree with you Xon,more food products would be a good add on....

speaking of food products,some junk food for my stoned population to munch on
would be cool like a cheetos factory or popcorn/ice cream lol.

Latato, I don't think they should. Because if you reach that "milestone" do you think that will stop people? Of course not! They will make the milestone so they could nuke people. And I'm not talking to you as if you are a slave? And no not really. there were less noobs and less multis. Now it's all gone down hill.

Xon, I agree with you 100%

@killson: Lmao! I agree; one downside of letting the unemployed workers self-medicate is that they are blearily bummed out when they get the munchies and find there is nothing but vegetables. Lowers the morale.

I will tell ya what will increase the moral of our lil sim peepians in our countries, if there were shoe corps!!!!

Eh

i meant morale. lol

yep,
fb has over 23B population just for the 1,040 president owned countries, and we have less than 25 food products/categories.

though not everyone will eat all these food products either, because my people has no monthly use/consumption for beans, cattles, corn, peanuts, etc

we need to teach people to eat more foods, and we need more foods for the population. why can't fb has food products that the people can eat which will make them live forever, so no death rate from old age or natural causes but death only by military actions/wars?

we need less weapons and ammos.

Nop we need more cheaper weapons , its what fb is about , wars

Well in that case, Tater, I'll come to FB, purchase nukes and blow ya up. I can do that, cuz I's a premi member. :P Just become premium, it's where it is at!!! Oh and you be nice to Nico, he's my sim child, I'm kinda VERY overprotective of him........

Please show some respect to the specialist defensive general strategist economical emperialist Mr.Lotato , and becareful with your claims/actions as your risking ur countries future doing so !!

Latato, are you threatening Jan? i know where you are...on Fearless Blue..Draca Mixor Continent, in the Indian Hills region.....your country name is is United Farana Kingdom....so keep threatening and ill be more than happy to give you a nuke....

Mr.Lotato apologises for the confusion, it was just a friendly informal message not intended for any threatining purpose ! peace

This was discussed so many times before.
No strategic weapons for free members. There are some limitations in the free game and this is one of them.

The root of this limitation is a very bad experience in the past, as mentioned here, with free members coming and going and nuking everything on their path, losing their country and coming back immediately with a new one.
