Great game!! I love it already. There are a couple of issues / questions I have however...
#1: During peace-time my ambition heads downwards. HARD. In fact global ambition is often between 1 and 2 (I am 2.3, making America one of the most ambitious countries in the world), EXCEPT for the Middle East, which has ambition, quite often, maxed out. How do I increase my ambition, or is the only way to declare war, or have a terrible economy? [Edit] I know WHY my ambition is slumping: Its all the trade / cultural / diplomatic missions I am doing... [/Edit]
#2: I want to strengthen ties with the economic hotspots of the world... how do I find out who has a strong economy??
#3: Is it possible to find out Police State Level / Peace Level WITHOUT doing a mission?
#4: Is it just me, or is the Great Britian <-> American alliance VERY weak??
#5: I want more Humantitarian Aid, and less Nuclear aid (and preferrably less Military Aid). I note that the total Economic and Humanitarian Aid is less than either of the Military, or Nuclear Aid. How do I change the aid rates?? Other than NZ, I don't want any new nuclear super-powers.
Otherwise its a great game. I would have thought that Iraq losing a war would crush their ambition totally, but it didn't, so I wasted ALOT of time and effort defending Kuwait. Otherwise, there hasn't been much action ATM... China / Soviets seemed to nearly invade Japan, but they have shyed away. I am currently trying to get China to love America, by spreading tons of cultural trade deals, as well as giving them TONS of aid :P I am building up for a massive military strike on Iraq in '92, and it seems as if no-one has noticed that 800,000 troops have been deployed. As is, I will NOT declare war before the election, as there is nothing I could do to get re-elected (last time, I went down to 8% popularity in the polls... I think the only reason I didn't get assasinated was due to the fact I was cowering in the War Room :P)
Anyway, could someone answer my questions? Cheers.
