General Gameplay

What does "Work Overtime" do?

With Work Overtime your cash, military, bread and steel production will be at 120% of normal.



Edit

What is the funtion of the bank?

On the bank you can deposit your money, you will get a certain interest percentage each turn. Your deposited bank money is save from landgrabs but can be stolen by SEALS.



Edit

What happens to my euros when all my stuff from the public market sold?

Your euros will be deposited on your bank account. If your bank is already maxed then the euros will be deposited in hand. You can access your bank account from the government menu.



Edit

Are the territory types more effective when you specialize in one of them?

Yes, the higher the percentage of land covered with one building type (or certain groups of buildings) the higher the production per territory will be.



Edit

Which building types are linked?

Linked buildings are: Beaches + Solar Panels, Barracks + Bakeries, Condo's + Tax Offices, War Factories + Iron Mines. Missile Installations are linked with ALL other buildings. Linked buildings don't cost you effectiveness, in other words: If you have a country with only Barracks and Bakeries for example then the gains per territory would be the same as if you had 100% Barracks.



Edit

I am not producing any missiles even when I have my production at 100% missiles?

A missile project is a large one, every turn your war factories will make a certain amount of advancements. As soon as these advancements reach a certain value, you will be awarded with a missile.



Edit

My War Factories don't seem to produce any military?

The problem will most likely be that you don't have any Steel, War factories need Steel to produce any military. An other problem might be that you put your production from your ratios for Fighters, Bombers, Panzers, Heavy Lasers and Missiles are at 0%.



Edit

How can I gain additional land?

Buy territories from the Private Market or steal them from other countries.



Edit

I can't attack why?

You might still be in Neutral Mode. If the word "Neutral" appears in green on your statusbar, you're neutral.



Edit

What's Neutral mode and how do I get out of it?

To protect new countries from being attacked, they remain 150 turns (Team) or 500 turns (Fight) in Neutral mode. During this time, you can't attack yourself either. This way you can safely build up your country. You get out of Neutral mode after you played 150 or 500 turns. (see status menu).
