Game of the Worlds

The Kebir Blue World

May. 20.

Kebir Blue was the first world created in Simcountry, on May 8^th, 2001.

Due to hardware and software limitations of the time, Kebir Blue was and is smallest world with, currently, 3,061 countries. This “smallest world” status was broken for a small period when Little Upsilon first started running.

It is common to see players refer to Kebir Blue by his initials KB. KB runs four game months per real day, making it the second fastest world of all.

A few months after Golden Rainbow was born, KB become the most peaceful world of all. This peace was only broken by periodic world wars.

Since war was infrequent, KB became the economic world by default. Players who didn’t like the penalties which came with peaceful countries decided to stay or to move to KB, where the need for a military was virtually none. Besides the lack of animosity and fear, there was plenty of room to grow, with economic role-models and a helping hand on every corner.

These days, after a series of events, KB is a more mature world regarding the military aspect of the game. However, a mature and diplomatic mind grew with the increasing militarisation of the world, ensuring a peaceful environment. The space available to grow significantly decreased, like in all worlds, after W3C begun advertising more regularly.

The largest federations on Kebir Blue are the Economic Powerhouse, The Protectorate and The Commission. The three largest common markets are Powerhouse Protectorate CM, La Cosa Nostra and A Better Place to Trade.

These days, Kebir Blue is still the most peaceful world of all five, and you can still find help when needed.

The Markets

May. 20.

Comments (0)

Countries need many products and their corporations buy raw materials and sell their produce.

Most of the buying and selling takes place on the world market. Trading is massive with many thousands of transactions taking place in real time 24 hours a day in all worlds. The world market is a true market with price fluctuations depending on demand and supply.

Many of the corporations are public and their shares are traded on the stock market. All players have access to the stock market and use it to invest some of their reserves and to try and gain control of corporations they are interested in.

The cash market in Simcountry offers the possibility to exchange game assets and virtual money into Gold Coins and use these Gold Coins to purchase other assets and game privileges.

Assets that can be traded include countries that are part of an empire, Enterprises in all worlds, Corporations and game money that the player earned while playing countries and Enterprises. Presidents/leaders are also able to exchange population in their over populated countries for Gold Coins, transferring the people into a country with low population, allowing it to grow faster.

At a later stage, assets trading will be extended with Mining concessions, oil and gas winning concessions and other rights to natural resources in various parts of all worlds and with world corporations that will be large conglomerates of up to 20 merged corporations selling many different products.

The cash market offers more information about the value of resources in the countries and enterprises in all worlds. The information makes it easier for players to estimate the value of assets and their capacity to generate profits.

When a player is trading a game asset for Gold Coins, the Gold Coins are added to his account in the game.

When a player is trading a game asset for Gold Coins, the Gold Coins are added to his/her account in the game. Gold coins can, under some conditions be exchanged into cash. The money is paid out into a Paypal account.

Conversions can take place if the account retains 500 Gold Coins after the conversion. W3creative has set minimum amount for payment using Paypal of US $ 25 The amount is set to reduce administration and bank costs that are involved with very small transactions. Gold coins can of course be used to purchase various privileges and boosters in the game.

The exchange of gold coins into cash can be turned off and conditions can be changed without prior notification.

Economic Interaction

May. 20.

Comments (0)

Many players have played the game for a long time, and invested years of time and effort into their countries.

They do not take kindly to new players attempting to steal corporations, or give them advice on how to manage these corporations.

If you wish to buy a corporation, make sure you message the owner and check with them it is OK, BEFORE you place the bid. Many players respond with force if a corporation is taken from them. It is more profitable to start a new corporation, than to buy an existing one.

There are different economic strategies available, not just one. You can choose from a menu of economic strategies:

1. Corps-based economy. Everyone is familiar with the corps-based economy because it’s the conventional way to make money. The more population you have, the more production you can achieve. And the higher your production, the more potential profits.

2. Gold coin awards. It’s highly profitable to focus on going up levels to win gc awards. It’s realistic to earn 200-300 gc awards per real month per world until you reach high levels. While you’re at it, try to rank #1 to get an extra gc award. This strategy also teaches basic skills.

3. Pillaging. War can be the best Simcountry business. There are c3s and inactive countries with generous assets. Conquer them, pillage them, and then cancel them before war repair costs get high. Wars of pillaging can produce an extremely high return on investment.

4. Trading. Countries and CEOs can profit by buying and selling products. There are always products in surplus that one can buy at below market price. Then when they are in shortage, one can sell them at above market price. One has to pay attention to setting fixed prices when buying or selling. Trading is a simple way to earn some game cash.

5. Other income. The loan market, share market, and cash market offer profitable opportunities. One also can invent hedge strategies, sell consulting services, get employed as a mercenary, or create other entrepreneurial businesses. And there are very profitable loopholes and workarounds in different aspects of the game.

Just like in real life, you can be conventional and depend only on corps for income. Or alternatively, you can be entrepreneurial and choose from a variety of less conventional economic strategies.

Remember that you have plenty of good economic choices, even though it seems that most people focus on the high population/corp-based economy. In Simcountry we have an ancient saying: “Variety is the spice of life.”

Corporations

May. 20.

Private Corporations produce all the products that are used by all countries and they can generate high profits.

These corporate profits are an essential part of the country’s income.

Check whether your corporations are running at full capacity. Find the reasons if they do not, and try to improve. Tune sale strategies to make sure your corporations sell everything they produce and make sure they get the raw materials they need for production at full capacity.

Check the world market and find out which products are in short supply and strengthen your economy by setting up corporations that produce these products. Upgrade the quality and efficiency of your corporations, to make them more competitive. Make sure your education system produces the professionals you need in your corporations and try to achieve a 100% hiring levels in all your corporations. It is better to have a smaller number of corporations producing at full capacity than a larger number, with lower production levels. Low production corporations are not profitable.

The Corporation’s Super Booster
A new booster is introduced today that boosts a single corporation to a level of 100 quality upgrades and 100 efficiency upgrades in a single action.

The starting position of the corporation does not make any difference in the way the booster works. If the corporation was already upgraded to a level of 120, the result will be the same. The corporation will be upgraded to a level of 200. (Base level of 100 and 100 upgrades). One single booster is needed to upgrade both the quality and efficiency.

The booster requires 10 GCs and extends the expiration date of the country by 10 days.

Federation

May. 19.

Comments (1)

A federation is a group of countries which share air defense (Interceptors and Helicopters ) to defend themselves from enemy attacks.

Defensive resources that are shared during war are air defenses only, so if you or one of your fed members has air defense wings (don’t use these), interceptor wings or helicopter wings (use those two instead) they will act in defense of your country or your fedmate’s country when attacked, assuming they are within range.

The only automatic consequence of joining a fed is the air defense described above. If you don’t put up any interceptor or helicopter wings then none of your forces will do anything at all. The point of shared fed air defense is that it makes it much more costly for an attacker to make headway in attacking a country if he is confronted with air defense wings both from the country he is attacking and from that country’s ally both in the same attack.

A healthy fed will also share information about how to succeed in the game, economic as well as war, through in-game messaging. If they’re really serious they’ll also communicate through an SC chatroom or maybe they’re set up with MSN chat. A really committed fed may have a webpage someplace, and perhaps even a constitution and officers.

Besides sharing air defense a good fed’s members will also declare on enemies who declare war on or possibly even threaten its members. Signing the war treaty is a crude way of doing this, but it may embroil you in wars you don’t really want or need to be part of, at times of day which may be inconvenient. A good fed will also conduct diplomacy to avoid wars or end them before they get out of hand.
