[unmerged(80758)]

Guyz help. im playing germany and i have 1500k energy, enough to last me till 2008. however, my oil is 5,000 and gonna dissappear in 20 days...but the computer only converts 30 oil a day!? why is this? is there anything i can do to make the computer convert my "800" surplus energy to much needed OIL?

As the link shows the amount of oil you get is proportional to your IC. Building new factories is expansive and takes a lot of time, but what you could do is look for +IC ministers like admin genius or prince of Terror.

Yet thats likely to be only a partial sollution, the best way to get hands on oil is trade trade trade. (assuming you cant conquer any).

On another note: What the heck are you doing to burn 300 oil per day?!?

200 tank divisions. if they all roll at the same time, oil is gonna evaporate.

um.... only thing I can say is wow.

the other question is why? Armor units aren't the "Killer unit" people might think, in actuality INF is the only unit you really need.. there were people who even did tests if they could do world conquest with militia and they could do it.

You can mod the tech file on energy conversion to give you more oil from energy. But this will effect all future games you play.

Well yeah you can probably conquer the world with militia BUT armored units will make your army fight more efficiently (and it's cool too ). Just do it like the Germans in reality: use 2 armored spearheads and encircle the enemy. This is much faster than going with INF (though it's more risky too).

Personally I like using INF too, I use the tanks when I get stopped at some point and I have to break the enemy lines again.

Please share more info about this... I wanna learn some new tricks
