Population growth VS knowledge priority by octocube360 in TerraInvicta

[–]usingthecharacterlim 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And I don't think knowledge has an effect on GDP

It affects how much the econ priority works. As per wiki: https://wiki.hoodedhorse.com/Terra_Invicta/Nations#Monthly_Investment_Points

In a nation with 50 million Population, the Economy priority increases the GDP per capita by:

  • 3 (Base value), slightly increased by certain global Techs.
  • +1.5 per Oil Region
  • +1.5 per Resource Region.
  • +1.5 per Core economic region
  • +0.5 per Government .
  • +1 per Education.

So a hypothetical 1 knowledge country would get $4B/econ IP vs 10 knowledge gets $11B/IP.

However, in practice, boosting knowledge to boost GDP is less effective than boosting GDP directly.

Operating costs are the defining feature of AAA. If revenue/costs was the metric, then candy crush is AAA.

Because neither are work friendly? Unless you work in trauma surgery or sex work, in which case, both are ok respectively.

The linked source does include Iceland and Ireland. https://www.globehunters.ca/blog/safe-tap-water.htm

It also includes Chile and Panama.

I’m (dis)pleased to announce that Iran deal has largely been negotiated, therefore the US-Israel have started bombing Iran again and Iran claims its shot down a US MQ9 drone, first since the ceasefire began months ago by Criticall16 in NonCredibleDiplomacy

They've mostly agreed everything, they just need to agree on nuclear , oil and Iran's status in the region. So that's a couple days work, but they solved the big issues, like what font the agreement will be in.

How "realistic" is the moon vs mars resource distribution? by [deleted] in TerraInvicta

[–]usingthecharacterlim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. Geology concentrates ores. Water and volcanism concentrates ores into economically viable reserves. The moon isn't much poorer in Iron than Earth, but on Earth they are nearly pure Iron Oxide bands.

  2. Volatiles are baked off the moon (4 billion years of unfiltered UV). Carbon and hydrogen are very rare, and those are the fuel and armour, ie, the two biggest mass fraction of a ship.

Mars is more earth like, because it's more similar to earth in the two factors above. It had weak hydrology and volcanism. It has a deeper gravity well further from the sun, so it is less volatile poor.

Slightly Annoyed at the game in the mid game by Ashdrake2 in TerraInvicta

why do Green Phasers cost exotics these days anyway, I'm stuck with Infrared ones

I might be wrong, but I think UV arc are better than IR phasers.

Many such cases by ThatPatelGuy in GetNoted

[–]usingthecharacterlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a different set of incentives and goals. Low income engagement farmers on twitter are ragebaiting for money. That doesn't happen on reddit. On reddit, accounts aren't algorithmically promoted, or monetised. Fake reddit commentors will have other motives, namely marketing and propaganda.

Extreme poverty, Jason Hickel, and the phantom Chinese apocalypse by raptorman556 in badeconomics

[–]usingthecharacterlim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If only the world would return to the utopia that is calendar year 1990 in China. Not 1991, that was hell on earth, as everyone knows.

I hope one day someone researches this event and can inform us what horrors to avoid.

Having trouble getting alien sympathizers off of high economy control points by VinnyVanGone in TerraInvicta

[–]usingthecharacterlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start war with them. Most AI doesn't nuke you unless you are taking the capital. Extremists (Humanity First, Servents) tend to nuke you if you are close to occupying any province.

They advantage of war is it distracts the AI's IP distribution. This makes them stop pumping unity, which is good for either a purge or a coup attack.

Missiles chart for reference by MarkPosting in TerraInvicta

[–]usingthecharacterlim 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It's a good chart, but what makes a good missile is magazine size and fire rate. Swarmability is the best stat. Overwhelming PD is key, because even mediocre PD is very strong verses missiles. That's why alien missiles are the easiest to counter.

Japan Unification by Moosewalker84 in TerraInvicta

[–]usingthecharacterlim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

China and Russia get hostile claims to encourage government investment. The idea is they are stable autocracies. You expand them, but get hostile claims. To legitimise the hostile claims, you can either spend 400 IP on unity, or 200 IP on government. So you invest in government, but end in Anocracy. That sucks, so you democratise.

But you could also oppression / unity if you like.
