simply wasnt making money...and when i started going into the red...all production/building/buying in resources stopped
for a start kansas doesnt start with metal ore or uranium...and shortages of these lead to huge problems in producing goods/military equipment/electricity
i didnt have taxes too high to begin with...and i wasnt building expensive units either, there just wasnt money to be made

what are upgrades, what exactly do they do?Legend wrote:question... did you build a lot of upgrades?
lol
if you attack early on this map, you end up getting yourself at war with every other region on your border, and then, every new border you get, that region will declare war on youDecimatus wrote:Yeah, just take nebraska early on and you should be set. After that it will be a war of attrition with colorado and the dakotas if you don't finish them before they field too large an air force.

I had this problem, built too many new bases/factories and quickly drained my cash. I had to send many units to reserve and shut down bases...even halting unit builds.
My exports would raise $200-300m then construction would absorb this cash. I had constant complaints about electricity and ore shortages and I couldn't really do a thing about it. My interest rates kept rising making my economic situation even worse... I eventually achieved some stability but realised I was in a hopeless situation.
Perhaps next time I'll get it right.
