A New Beginning ...

Thx E O but my ent tax is lower than 0.5% of total assets currently. Calculated per month and per year. Besides, CEO gets quadruple taxed.

First the Country Resources used tax.
Second the state tax to country.
Third the enterprise tax on its own.
Fourth the less efficient use of capital due Country Resources used and state tax on which you get enterprise taxed again.

Just figured out it probably has to do with increasing total assets month over month.

LOTS of talking about the past, not a lot of competent, current gameplay.

You were WL8 during a COMPLETELY different war engine. The war game is NOTHING like it was when you played. We WATCHED your move up through the war levels, dude. Horrendous, outdated strategies and then you GAVE UP trying to move one country to WL3. Trying to shoot through defenses not knowing what to do like a brand new player. I suppose you started a WL3 war and stopped most of the way for no reason? Literally the only thing you know how to do is manipulate taxes so your CEO can buy out corporations and brag about how good you are.

And I don't know if you've been paying attention, I'm not calling myself good. I'm saying your Empire is mediocre and bragging about it is funny to those of us that know how the game functions.

You talk of arrogance, yet you made a thread talking about your great economic empire when only three of your countries can even be considered halfway developed.

You want me to move up war levels? Sure.

Well Lee is going to achieve 2nd place @CEO this month, not 1st. His CEO is gaining 40 points every day, my ceo is gaining 200 points every day, so within 2 days I will surpass his ceo and claim first price. All is good.

What's up with all these comparisons.. I can take up a challenge to build an empire that has more profits than all Mathews states on WG in two months.. whose in? Lmao.. Can we place a bet.. would Love seeing tasks like this

What a brilliant idea.

What is up with the comparisons? I have said it. Lee isnt an economic superpower on this planet. I used myself for an example. I am not bragging.

If you want a competition sure, but I have literally said IN THIS EXACT THREAD - I am not an uber eco player- My point is not I am all that and a bag of rocks, my point is he is not an eco superpower.

I did not make a thread about being an economic superpower.

If you want to make a bet, sure. It does not offend me nor would it hurt my feelings if you won. In fact I am curious to how fast you can build, so go for its I say again: There are PLENTY of players who have each state making 250b a month.

I bet that in two months I'll be earning more than Matthew as well. It's a dead cert!

Reading this thread has been very Interesting. Matthew because I have read the entire thread I understand that your main argument is that Lee is not an economic superpower.

You in fact used your own empire as an example to prove why Lee is not a Econ super power. Your not tooting your own horn in any way shape or form. I too know many players who makes Lees empire look like a noob account. I too believe Lee is in fact NOT an economic power.

Matthew Having you and Lee fight in a player vs player war would be entertaining and I would agree as EO has also agreed not to interfere in such event. I know Matthew is a more than capable player and war fighter and I would put my money on him to beat Lee in war. Lee has constantly touted begging a Great War player and nobody has seen any evidence to prove this what so ever.

Lol Intresting.. Do we have a bet? In two months I'd build an empire on WG (States plus enterprise) making more than your overall profits per game month.. if I fail I'd give you a state with a cash of 400T in it. if I win I'd have Batavia Inland to myself Deal?

Lol no?

I'm not giving you my core states, homie. Regardless of you winning or not. You can take them in war if you want. But that's the only way anyone other than EO gets on my island.

to be clearer: I don't really care about making a bet with you. If you can do it, cool. I sort of doubt it, but I'd like to see it. I don't need 400T from you and it's not NEARLY worth Batavia. The island will remain Batavian until I decide to de-register. =)

@Union Lee can't back anything up, so his only ally, David, is trying to do it for him

In one month my empire will be making more more than Matthew's! How much does your empire make a game month Union States King?

@Mattew Nearly In what sense?? How many game years will it take Batavia empire to make 400T.. from calculation it should take roughly more than 2 real years...

On a second thought I don't desire your states.. wanted some kind of reward for the extra effort that's just it.. and that's all I see lol.. No strings attached tho..

I'm not even sure if I can achieve that.. but that's the spirit.. seems impossible lolz

Also the *anyone* is also a challenge to all.. I love your confidence man.. keep it up

Giving up my leader, that's in the core of my cluster, on an island (one of the ONLY islands) with literally no one but my allies isn't worth the time, effort NOR the reality of having a non-federated country as my permanent neighbor.

Not gonna happen, man.

Quick maffs:

Six game months every 24 hours, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year. At minimum 200b a month means 1.2T in a 24 hour period. Of course, if we simply multiply 1.2T by how many days in a year (365) we get 438T. So it wouldn't take nearly that amount of time at all. That's also assuming I only make 200b. I'm assuming by your math you can't tell how much Batavia makes? Or were you referring to another one of my states?

Now, that doesn't really change much. I wouldn't give you Batavia if you offered me 1 quadrillion and a promise that Lee would hit WL3. I would say "Just take it in war" again, but I actually forgot that you literally can't since it's in secured mode lmao.

If you want, we can make a gentleman's bet? I said I didn't think you could do it, so there's always the glory of proving me wrong?

Oh.. lolz do i have permission taking batavia in war? PVP just me and you? I can build up if you want... Just between the both of us.. lol

A 1v1 between me and you?

I'm not opposed to it. Build up. I cannot promise it will be over my island, and right now my schedule isn't going to allow me to fight a war that might last longer than a day or two against a peer, but we can 100% accommodate something. If you want something grand scale, you'll have to wait. You can use that time to build up regardless.

Do you have any holdings on the war world, Fearless Blue?

Matthew is in love with Margret Thatcher.

Am not!

I am in love with Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount. (Maybe a slight crush on Cochrane.)

I thought it was rather lame that the Iron Lady refused to invade Argentina proper. Frankly, I will not be happy until Texas joins the Union.

God Save The Queen

The sooner the UK becomes a republic the better!

WG is weird.

i am selling exp for winning federation wars, just pm me

@Weyland

Come join us and you too can yell at people who are not WL3.

Tempting.

Bragging about higher health index is like bragging on how inefficient your economy is. This is why first world countries in the real world are importing 3rd world labor, or offering tax brakes / welfare incentives to increase birth rates. Not enough youth in the workforce to pay for retiree pensions. Same goes for simcountry in a way. All an extremely high health index for is for game level. Having a higher health index above 130 hurts your economy more than helps. Causes higher social security costs, higher healthcare costs, more workers needed for the healthcare system ( less workers for corporations ), and lowers the number of working age people as a ratio to retired people.

There's nothing wrong to a high health index if that suits your playstyle and are going for higher game level. From a purely economic standpoint it does not help. You may not lose population quickly, however an aging population is a time bomb and the only way to combat this is to either keep building more hospitals ( making the problem worse over time ) or closing them in order to keep from continuous population decline.

If anyone wants to know anything about how to manage your health index to suit your play-style, read what Kaizer Zen just wrote above.
