Hi!

I have some questions about trading and war.

1) How do you trade with anyone? If you buy, for example, oil for $ 2,000,000,000, how do you do so it will show on the budget?

2) How do anyone win a war? I've seen that you use weapon you buy, but how do you win the war? If it is that the winner is the one with more weapons, then how do you prove how much weaponry you had?

3) Last question, how do I make so more money will go to the defense budget?

Thanks in advance.

P.s This might be the wrong forum, if it is, please move it to the proper forum.

Firstly, welcome to the forums!

I'd recommend reading the stickies, but they are quite intimidating so don't be afraid to ask other questions.

On trade, I'm assuming you know about trackers. I use http://nstracker.retrogade.com/ - it shows you your country's key stats there.

For war...read the roleplay stickies. Buy weapons using your defence budget, then equip your army and use 'em. Keep a Word document proving your purchases

Thanks for the answer, but i still dont know how to transfer money after a sell/buy (if that is what you do). I placed a tracker on me, but i cant use it to buy/sell stuff. BTW, NSTracker says that I have 17% unemployment rate, while NSEconomy says i have 9.25%. Which one is right?

if you get to conflicting answers, try to average it out, to avoid being accused of godmodding, also for trade and war and blah you have to act it out yourself, if in a war a city gets destroyed completely, you have to carry that for a certain amout of time through out other RPs, if you sell and peace of land for 20 mil then you have to act that out to.

Ok, thanks for the answer.

NSTracker updates right away, but NSEconomy takes a while. So that 9.24% is yesterday's unemplyment rate.
