Local Budgets Wasted and Economic Reboot Required

Well over a year ago when I was dissolving my assets, this game looked to have little promise with regards to updates that would make it in anyway more fun.

We saw the implementation of air battles and their aircraft weapons of which they remain only as a Q1. We’ve seen houses become a massive industry but with no work as manager feature possible meaning large gold buyers aren’t able to undercut the average player unless they employ workers below the going wage. Personally I welcome these changes, I wanted the game to evolve and become something a bit more complex than log in, work, train and fight. The Resource Wars were also a prime example of something that made this game exciting for a period and it’s something I think should be rolled out again to mix the game up a bit, although this time Romania's advantage of being told the tips and tricks will be gone.

Now that I am back I see very little has changed fundamentally be it game mechanics or even political. Admins have even half implemented a feature which is pure and utter laziness. That feature is Residencies. Should my memory be correct, it was during the Resource Wars that the concept of residences and Mayors were floated as a work in progress. We have residences but we don’t have mayors or other features that were outlined. The biggest red flag with regards the failure to implement this feature is the Local Budget. This takes money off players through taxation and is meant to be spent by the mayor to give the residents of the region additional perks, however without a mayor to spend this money, these funds lay dormant.

Let’s look at my current nation of Australia:
The past week alone, we have lost 10% of our tax revenue to these inaccessible funds.

Our funds currently value:
Tasmania - 9,390
South Australia - 23,128
Western Australia - 19,501
Northern Territory - 10,892
Queensland - 18,854
New South Wales - 11,159
Victoria - 11,694
TOTAL - 104,618

While this may not seem a whole lot to many people, this is a lot to Australia considering the nation is constantly under occupation or region revolving occupation by Peru as well as us suffering from a broken and weak economy.


In conclusion I would like to see the admins fully implement this feature or return the money to the countries it rightfully belongs to. However should they implement the feature I believe an entire fresh restart on the economic module should be taken with a relaunch of the Resource Wars.

This would see every citizen be allowed to relocate their holding companies free of charge and reassign their current region of residence. The games economics needs to be refreshed (again) but how a fully functioning system will be implemented - who knows.
