Roads/Military base
by robert bayer Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:32 pm
I posted this over at the original forums before seeing that we had new ones.
May I ask what the benefits/costs are of building a military base as opposed to building roads?
Granted, my knowledge of the game is somewhat limited as I'm relatively new here, but here are my thoughts (Please correct me if I'm wrong):
* Military Base -- good for increasing citizen XP as well as preparing national military forces. (Though I'm not sure how much more XP that would get us as a nation, given the fact that we have militia training already)
* Roads -- good for increasing national production and expanding our economy.
Now from what I gather our economy is in trouble, so it seems to me that the best thing to do might be to just invest in roads right now. To be honest, I don't really see any military threats in the near future (it seems that most people are likely more focused on building up their national economy).

For now, roads should be put off until we can make an MB. It is a hefty cost and with roads put in it would be a tight fit, maybe even the beginnings of ailments for our finances.

Hey Robert, it's a good point you make but there's a couple of reasons why I think we need to prioritise the MB over roads at this time.
Personally I think the highest priority we have at the moment is population growth. All economic, military, social goals rely on growing the population. A lot of people are interested in military and training up and I believe we will lose people to countries that DO have a MB if we don't build one.
So it isn't so much about military goals trumping economic ones, it's more like population growth trumping everything.

I would add that there is no real need for a production boost at the moment except in the housing industry. Products on our markets are building up as it is.

indeed there is overproduction everywhere (which is also a reason why the economy is fucked up 
)

We could try and export our excess products to other nations. Though at first it would be a set back due to export license prices, in the end it would help with the over production problem.

Agree Mark, it will also help us earn some vBux.
I think we probably need to wait until after the redistribution of raw materials though, as that may change the economic landscape considerably...
