How many nations can it take before it becomes full??

Curios becuase I have over 600 nations in that dossier. And it is starting to lagg when adding more.

I thought the limit was none.

( :eek: 600)

Mayby should explain the 600 nations. Its when telegramming nations about joining my region. It is so I hopefully don't send a new recruiting t-gram to that nation. (Not player, some create so many new puppets all the time and I can't know who's behind the screen)

This batch comes from about 1,5 months of semi-active recruiting. Thats about 13 t-grams per day. (Don't invest so much time, don't need to). I even rewrite my t-grams often just to see what pulls nations most.

Example on why I use the dossier, you are newborn and you get one from me. 3 months later you really don't want to get a new one, doesn't matter that the t-gram will probably be looking totally different. You have made up your mind that you want to continue to live in the feeders probably.

Besides, I go back randomly and look at the dossiers to see how many how dies. Its rather interesting (Haven't made any statistic on it yet). But usually a big bulk of the nations are dead after a year.

If you already have 600, then there's probably no limit. But if it's starting to lag, then how about starting a new puppet to keep new additions in?

There is no coded limit, but it isn't designed to handle that many.

I am storing them in this nation. I could do that and I have thought about it but its really not good.. It will mean that about 600 nations could eventually get a frisky reminder. :headbang: If it were fewer, say 100 then the percentual chance would be slimmer but now.. weee... Can't be helped. Oh well, better start working on my memory instead.
:p

Thanks for the answer, much appriciated. :)

I used to write them out by hand every time I sent a recruitment TG out.

By hand? No, I cannot do that. Me and papers are extreme enemies. They dissapear.. I spill coffee on them.. my son starts chewing on them.. It just don't work.
Nope.. I will continue with force on the old one.. fighting against the lag!! :cool:

one could keep them in a word document, or on notepad/textedit, could one not?

Yes, you could.

But for me, the only one thing stopping me from doing misstakes (that is, sending you multiple of t-grams) when I am tired is the little line "'Nationame' is added to your dossier"
But that is with me.
