Money query??? + little help plz

[McPolle]

Hi guys,

I am playing a game on Monarch lvl, and have a little question about money.

It says in the little box right hand bottom corner that I am expected to be on a minus for a turn, but when the turn starts, sometimes I get the minus, but more often I end up receiving money,,,,

Any ideas anyone.

Also I am about to start the Modern era, I have wiped out Spain and Portugal, and the English and the Germans, are the only remaining civs on my continent.

But on the other continent are the Chinese, Mongols and Indians.

Now the Mongols are pretty advanced, basically they are not at war, the Chinese and Indians are way behind in money and tech, the Germans have no money, an ok size army and a little behind in tech, but the English have a little money, are a little ahead of me in tech, but are at war.

Question is, is it now better for me to stay at peace and catch up in the tech race, as I am the only one on my continent with tanks, or should I try and burst thru either the English or Germans????

Also have no oil, bit of a bummer.


What do you guys think???

Have you installed the beta patch (1.12)? In the original version of Conquests, there is a bug which causes any gold per turn deals you make to give you twice the gold you should, so the stats correctly show that you should be losing money, but with doubled gpt income, you may actually be gaining money!

This bug is fixed in the patch.

I have patched, but not sure which patch it is, how can I check it???

When you start the game, there is a three digit decimal number in the lower-left hand corner of the screen. Both versions 1.00 and 1.02 show 1.00, 1.12 shows 1.12, and 1.13 shows 1.13.

HTH

About your war, You had better have 25 to 50 tanks if you want to make any headway, since they really aren't THAT effective against infantry (bout 60% as effective as an archer vs. warrior contest). You might want to consider reasearching up to modern armor, hope on getting aluminum, and upgrading your stockpile of tanks to modern armor until you start a war. It will be a much faster war, and greater chance of success vs. infantry...but you risk having to fight mech. infantry if they research computers & upgrade.

MANY choices you have to make!

Thx, the version shows 1.00 in the bottom corner.

About the war, am out of oil, and have about 10-15 tanks, plus a whole bunch of artillery, I am almost sure that I could walk up to any town and take it in a turn, but you never know.

You should definitively upgrade to version 1.12 or 1.13...

I'm using 1.13 now and I must say I like the new take on corruption and the FP.
