BSD Empire 1.1 patch level 5 (KSU distribution 1.04, Chainsaw version 3.31)
The following parameters have been set for this game: World size is 160 by 80. There can be up to 40 countries. By default, countries use their own coordinate system.
An Empire time unit is 2880 seconds long. Use the 'update' command to find out the time of the next update. The current time is Wed Sep 7 20:15:07. An update consists of 60 empire time units. Each country is allowed to be logged in 1000 minutes a day. It takes 12.50 civilians to produce a BTU in one time unit.
A non-aggi, 100 fertility sector can grow 0.12 food per etu. 1000 civilians will harvest 1.3 food per etu. 1000 civilians will give birth to 5.0 babies per etu. 1000 uncompensated workers will give birth to 2.5 babies. In one time unit, 1000 people eat 1.0 units of food. 1000 babies eat 12.0 units of food becoming adults.
Banks pay $200.00 in interest per 1000 gold bars per etu. 1000 civilians generate $4.33, uncompensated workers $1.78 each time unit. 1000 active military cost $83.33, reserves cost $8.33.
Happiness p.e. requires 1 happy stroller per 5000 civ. Education p.e. requires 1 class of graduates per 4000 civ. Happiness is averaged over 48 time units. Education is averaged over 192 time units. The technology/research boost you get from the world is 50.00%. Nation levels (tech etc.) decline 1% every 96 time units. Tech Buildup is limited to logarithmic growth (base 2.05) after 1.00.
Sectors Ships Planes Units Maximum mobility 127 127 127 127 Max mob gain per update 60 90 60 60 Max eff gain per update -- 100 100 60
In order to build a nuke, you need 0.70 times the tech level in research Example: In order to build a 300 tech nuke, you need 209 research

Blowing snow, wind and ice......
It's the ARCTIC BLAST....
The waters of ARCTIC BLAST have filled with ships, people are finding
islands, as well as their neighbors. So far, it appears no one is even
so much as yelling at anyone, much less preparing for war.
We're 7 updates into the BLAST, which has seen the top of the power
chart change leaders about everyday. Countries are pushing early for tech,
but with a tech rate of 2.05, it takes a while, a few more updates, (give
or take a couple) and we should hear the resounding sound of gunfire.
Perhaps that's what people are waiting for.....
It looks like our connection problems are over, and everyone is digging in.
I expect the more experienced players to be dining on fodder soon.
Arctic Blast is a 160X80 world, with 40 sectors starts and lots of sprinkle
islands.
Here is the current power chart...

ARCTIC BLAST!!!! HEATING UP!
Tor Chard
Associated Press
ARCTIC BLAST -- With the lesser nations gone here, the true battles have
begun. The mightiest battle had been the Kryptychtsys - TheHand contest, with
Kryptychtsys becoming the winner. The world seems to be heading to a conflict
between the two major powers Arrakis/FortWhoopItUp and
Kryptycthsys/BayNetworks.
Heavy fighting continues with Ironfist and Arrakis going after Mudball,
reports of an Ironfist sacking of the Mudball capitol have been confirmed.
Liliput has been steadily eating up the remainng sectors of Shoal. What the
plans of the remaining top ten countries are remains to be seen. Unconfirmed
reports state the Kaosians have downed up to 10 Ironfist vessels, this
attack caused by the taking of Vyborg by Ironfist.
Here is a current power report from ARCTIC BLAST! After moving our update 3
times we seem to have settled down from the aborted update problems. Things
are really starting to heat up!!
