Update: I've decided to make this a series
DisclamerI don't have snazzy pictures that are doctored or anything, so it is bland words for the win. Here are some things that Plato, should add, remove, or re-add.
Note If I ever win the lotto, I'm buying this website, and making these improvements.
First a note to Plato; If you ever read this, you once had me as a paying customer, I had no qualms with buying gold from a game that I enjoyed playing. I stopped because I felt that I was being extorted, and this became a game focused on a lame aspect that I had no interest in. If you want me back as a Paying customer, stop the blatant extortion, try some genuine improvements to the game.
A fun game = More money for you.
The Military Units
There are a few things that I think would be great.
First: Unit Companies; Basically turn MU's into the old Organizations from V1, give them the abilities to; buy companies, have storage, have companies donated to them, have money and Gold.
Second: Unit Jobs; Have the ability to offer job directly to Unit members, and any products made go directly to the Unit Storage.
Third: Unit Supply; Have the ability to supply the entire unit, and have filters such as; Supply only those that fought in the last 1, 2 or 3, day. Supply those with a certain rank or strength, ect.
Fourth: Unit Stats; More detailed stats, who fought where, who fought in the last few day, unit damage indicators (how much influence can this unit bring) ect.
Government
There is a lot that can be done here
First: Official Government Ministries; there are a few here, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Military, and Ministry of Communication.
MoF: This ministry can give funding directly to, people, Military Units, other ministries, this ministry also automatically collects money from taxes, eliminating the need to transfer money out of the Country Accounts, Donations from this ministry still need Congress Approval though.
MoM: Sets orders, can issue funding to Military Units, and give supplies to Citizens of that country, ie, for everyone who fights in this place and does so much influence, can get X amount of money to restock.
MoC: This ministry is a direct link to the minister's and the President's Newspaper, and shows if the President or Minister has released a news article. Also, they can send messages, to either all citizens, all MU commanders, or all Congressman, as a way of easy communication.
Second: Official Government Minister; people appointed to these positions, in game, via the President, there is a Medal for this.
Business
Interesting things here
First: Everyone has a corporations; You know on your profile page you have Newspaper, Army, and Political Party, add a new one, saying Corporation.
Citizens can only own 1 factory and 2 Raw Companies, before they must 'start' a Corporation
You can start a corporation with 10 Gold
Corporations act like your land page, but have a separate storage, and money accounts.
Citizens can own up to 5 Corporations, and each can have as many companies as they want.
Corporations can specialize; if a certain corporation owns only food factories, they get a bonus for specialization.
Second Industries; Bring back the housing industry, bring back the Gift industry
Gifts work by give you 50 health back that dose not count toward your limit, Kind of like energy bars.
Houses work similar to the way they did, they all last for 30 days, but vary in the health they re-gen.
Third Bring back User paid adds; just add who bought them on the bottom of the add, to limit the trolls.
Space
Meh, this is just me being silly
We use tanks the size of city blocks, but we can't get to space? Every country should get a space program, and we race to the moon, why? To get the moon minerals, (which give a boost to weapon production)
Antarctica
We must add Antarctica; but only I can go there 😛
Anyways that is SOME of what I was thinking. Thanks for reading

~hyuu~
If we add Antarctica can we have igloo's as part of the housing industry?
Good stuff here...I likey! I may have to use some of this on NE this coming week...

😁^ and this is how World War VI begins, and the introduction to World War I, Moon edition. That would be one of the best improvements I think
Mann551 Do you want me to elaborate on the Space thinggy?
Cool ideas! Hope they happen!
Send a ticket! 🙂
Corporations should also be eligible to make election campaign donations and receive tax breaks, and do advanced speculation on lunar real estate.
Moon war 1?
Some great ideas here.. well done
Bring back the advertising module
Bring back the Ad Module x 2
That thing was a real Gold Burner - Well worth it for the laughs it brought as well
Excellent ideas James. Good luck with the whole lottery thing too
Voted. I like the corporation idea. Perhaps paving the way for a stock market... That might be a little too much, but one can dream.
@JamesMcNamara - I wouldn't mind it you elaborating on the space idea.
I've been thinking, and another change I might like to see is region specific companies, and the need for a goods transportation system. New companies and jobs could be created. A company would, for example, be located and produce goods in B.C. If you lived in Ontario, you could buy the goods, and then a truck, rail, or plane transportation company would transfer the goods from B.C. to Ontario. If by truck, it would go straight there. By plane would be faster. By train would be cheapest but it would make stops in specific places along the way, such as Yukon, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Manitoba, then Ontario, picking up goods along the way. Plane would be most expensive, but fastest.
eCan into space
I like your ideas! (and Bring back the Ad Module x 3)
Nice!!
I miss the tRolo ads...... they were fun.
Bring back the Ad Module X4!!!
Hm... Why anyone of the players must think about game improvement?
I think that we all here are consumers only.
If the gentlemen Owners of the game want to have consultants, then let them pay.
However, it seems to me that they are self sufficient.
So, we can watch changes and play the game if we like it. If not... You know what! 😉
James McNamara and other sages, let's make another game and earn money. Lots of money!
What do you say?
P.S. Articles like this are ridiculous!
the biggest thing they could bring in with the military model would be a Army, naval, and Airforce attachment. as well as defensive structures and hospitals bakc again. i think it brings more strategy if the offense/deffensive structures give bonuses much like naturel enemy bonus.
Some valid points!
Mr. Rock is so right that he's actually getting it wrong.
In RL, I make lots of suggestions that would make everyone's life way more enjoyable. And even though there is no way in hell any of it will be taken seriously, I continue trying, mainly to keep the hope alive that my wife will someday agree with me. A man's gotta have dreams.
I highly agree.
Good ideas.
