- The military system has been changed. The unit strengths, costs, and maintenance are as follows:
| Unit | Offensive
Strength | Defensive
Strength | Cost | Maintenance |
|---|
| Draftee | 1 | 1 | $75 | $0 |
| Defender | 2 | 3 | $250 | $0.5 / Unit |
| Attacker | 5 | 4 | $600 | $2 / Unit |
| Elite | * | * | * | $6 / Unit |
Elite strength & cost are the same as the normal servers.
- Money can now be invested on a daily basis in your land & buildings. Over time, these
investments will increase the productivity of the buildings. Long-term constant investments
are more effective than one-time large investments. The formulas for these may
be adjusted as the round progresses, and we try to optimize this system.
