Russell-

the morale post of mine you quoted had a problem with using the < and > characters. It should have been:

Correcting my initial bad copy and past job is:

There are a few ways to effectively raise morale:
1) Lower taxes
2) Build social improvements that help morale
3) Only colonize good planets (i.e. 15+)
4) Research techs that boost morale.
5) Build/buy trade goods that boost morale.
6) Build/improve starbases on morale improvements.
7) Built colony ships/transports to remove population.
8) Spend money on propaganda.
9) Wait for the population to decline (morale over 50)

Ways to lower morale:
1) Raise taxes.
2) Be destabilized by another empire.
3) Wait for population to grow. (morale below 40).
4) Have a treasury balance below 0.

All things being equal, morale will tend to head towards 40-50 if left alone as that is the break even point for the population growth/morale curve.

thanks, mindlar! i would never have noticed that #4 entry under the #9 entry. it took me about ten reads over that list to even notice what you were talking about.

since i got this free bump, the homepage link is:

russellmz2 (and to all others)
sequential lists are great and important, but the real value is the capability to:

search

got my point?(et al)

Thanks for the listing!

Good deal.

~SDC~

i recommend the ctrl-f button...

seriously, i will better organize it in the near future. not sure how to get a search in there better than ctrl-f.

if you mean the pages other than the faq, i am not sure what language search engine to use nor if they will work on a geocities site.

thanks for the comments!

added a bit on starbases to help guide

On the item with "trade goods" if you license the item do you loose its abaility, or does licenceisng give both you and the person you licensed to the added abaility?

Also as a newbie one thing that I ran into was problems with was money debt, and then raiseing taxes/lowering spending so that I had positive money however I was still going into more debt. Then I found the interest amount, and compensated for that.

Looks good. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
