yea, keith, i'm with you, I had a country spending 1t a game month, via auto-ordering. When i turned it down, it was still spending 500b. I was really just ordering a couple hundred of whatever, over what the monthly use was... plus a few hundred, total, various weapons.
I took over an inactive that had a ton of cash, that went quickly, but it gave me enough space to do some IPOs... get a little more cash into the country...
I guess thats bottom line. An unexpected, unannounced change, caused me to spend hours fixing things... this isn't the first time, W3C has a history of making brutal changes, and only say something after the players complain.
It wasn't to long ago. I spent several weeks fixing worker shortages, adjusting ed priorities, exchanging workers, trying to do it with buying as little pop as i could. After allot of hours, and several weeks, of building corps, ect... I had something in the area of a 90+ empire wide employment. So i log in the next day, to the minimum of workers i'm short in is 1m. In most cases, i was short more like 3-5m workers...
I could go on and on... W3C should atleast let us know they are going to be tweaking things. And jeese, update the stinking documentation!!! Be a little more upfront. I don't really need to be in the decision making progress. Infact i don't want to be. But it'd be nice to know that a change is coming, and rather than wasting hours fixing something, just to have it break again... I can spend that time getting ready for whats coming.
So, after all this time, of unannounced changes, undocumented new features... its like playing charades...
so, i'm getting rid of all my countries, giving them away, if they aren't worth anything, i'm dereging. and i'll just play my CEO's, in may, when my membership expires, i'm not sure if i'll renew or not. i could go either way. but if they keep doing this, i don't think i'll still be playing SC
