My population is 2.499 billion, and when I multiply that by the .2 of a normal spending nation, I come out with 499,800,000. Is that correct? If so, is that the maximum amount of infantry that I can field? |

Holy god no! 0.2%! 2 499 000 000 * 0.002 = 4 998 000 |

The navy is not using full numbers for yellow and normal defense. The infantry are only 5x better in territory in which they specialize though. |

Where the hell are you getting "Red, Green and Yellow"? Every link I try on the original CP link doesn't work, so where the hell do I get my stats now. This is pissing me off big time! Someone post a fucking link at the beginning of this damn post, please! |

"Nations with normal defence spending OR a yellow economy get four aircraft carriers (or assault ships) for every billion people" You have four billion. Four times four is 16. Not 20. Your Spec Ops cannot be ten times better. As for your infantry being 5x better in specialist terrian... that's fair and balanced so long as you're taking five times less than you usually could.
You can swear when you have a reason to swear. In the first post of this thread:

Thank you. Sorry for my outburst. Bad day. Now, I have a population of 6,641,000,000 A Good economy. Crappy to non-existant defense spending. So: Total possible men - .15% x Pop. = 9,965,500 I assume special forces are at half value?? Total possible AC's = 2 per billion, so I could have 12. Average AC has 9 to 12 vessels with it, so I would figure, oh, 120 non-capital ships Jets, I'm going to figue at 200 per billion, so I could have 1200 Bombers, like 20 per billion, so 120 Heleocopters, maybe 150 per billion, so 900 Awacs, 15 per billion, so, 90. Anyone have any objections with these counts?? |

Well New Harumf has a military spending of 0. To the letter of the guide, this army is fine and dandy. But consider the spirit. Halving those numbers would make me feel a lot more comfortable. |

Hm-is that Romania included or just Bzyantine Africa? And-troops a hundred times better than normal? What are they, Supermen? lol I say go for the high number of troops. No matter how well trained the troops are, a bullet to the head is a bullet to the head. |

How about if you have no spending and a green economy, you should get .1% of your population as military, yellow .075%, red .05%. Edit: TC, yes. |

I didn't say they are 100 times stronger. In fact they are all normal quality. |

Fixed my thing. Am I to understand that I can keep my soldiers as 5x better than average only in their trained terrains, and 2x better overall? |

If you really, really want to. Then I'm not going to stand in your way. But it seems stupid to me. German army looks fine to me. |

You use a lot of the same stuff I do lol. B) You have a really high tank-to-artillery ration, you know. May want to get rid of a few artillery or AA things to make way for more tanks. Also, I guess my Special-Forces will have to be retooled. They are apparently six times better than average, which is impossible. Also The Genesis is way, way too powerful. |

Well thanks, I actually used your forces as a model for mine ^_^ , hope that's alright. Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a good look. Are the numbers alright as far as godmodding is concerned? |

Commonwealth Military Notes: Green Economy (Frightening), HIGH spending (72%) 2,550,000 Infantry (all classes) ((I think 4x quality as well, however I'm not certain)) 500 Tanks 450 Artillery 200 Anti-Air weapons 12 Aircraft Carriers 8 Amphibious Assault Ships 5 Battleships 96 Destroyers 94 Submarines 60 Frigates 36 Mine Hunters 90 Cruisers 1,150 Air Superiority Fighters 20 Bombers 40 Stealth Bombers 90 Transport Planes 350 Attack Helicopters 300 Transport Helicopters 350 Navy Helicopters 80 Support Aircraft Uhm, hope this is acceptable. This is just a rough outline, if it's good, then I'll divide it amongst Commonwealth members as necessary. Also, in an unrelated note, I'm RPing Kuvekk as a nation culturally similar to Caronicilia, and they will inevitably share some dialogue. I know I'm not allowed to make the nations interact much if they are played separately from one another, but for the sake of making them be as close as I can make them, would it be acceptable if I just took Kuvekk's military from the Commonwealth budget? |

If by that you mean use Caronicilia's troops to form the armies of both Caronicilia and Kuvekk, then yes. If you mean use Caronicilia's defense budget to create a separate army for Kuvekk, then no, I wouldn't be too comfortable with that. |

Also, Nor, it was my understanding that effective population was only used to calculate equipment numbers. Your infantry should be based on your actual, raw population number. |

Well what I mean is Kuvekk's army will be subtracted from this list. That way, there's no way I can use the two nations to benefit myself, as I really wouldn't be gaining anything. |
