I know that the forum has died but i am sure that there are still a few people on here.
just for the sake of curiosity I was wondering about all these rules that seemingly arn' t written. I was reading the god mod section and people were talking about wildlife and hocotation armies and stuff like that.
what is a wildlife army and why can it only use wwII tech?
what is a hocotation army and why can it use more advanced tech?
Where have people come up with the weapons caomparisons? Like I was reading and people were saying things like(just an example) this 1 type of tank=1 missile launcher, heavy armor and some other crap. How do they know what it equals?
Are there any other types of armies?
What are the general prices and times for turrets,vehicles,and weapons?

There used to be two different army types you could be--Wildlife and Hocotatian. Hocotatian armies could not get Special or Super troops, and were limited to only Pikmin for their Ordinaries, but were capable of having much better tech like more powerful machines and such. There were too many arguments about one being better than the other, so we went back to having only one group that could sort of focus on anything.
Generally machines take 15-30 days to build, although that depends on the type. People often make their ships take a long time to build, so that they can be major support platforms in any engagements they're in. Defenses really tend to vary, but I see a lot of 10-20 day defenses. As for troop weapons, it really depends on the quality of the weapon. You could make twenty a day or only one, based on how good you want it to be.

Wildlife is what all the armies are, as of now.
Hocotation armies are the same people as Olimar, but that class was canceled because it was overpowered, I believe.
I don't know what that comparison was, but the day value and material make it's strength.
See the second paragraph.
See the third paragraph; It's time depends on how strong you want it. If you mean prices as the petals they cost to build, that's always double the amount of days except for Petal Gathering Centers and Enhancement Centers.

How do you get iron?
And also can you make up vehicles?(I can't do that yet as i am not verified, ergo no tech section. I think a few people will keep playing and if we can get just one person to mod the battles than we can keep going)

Buy it or mine it.
Yes.
We still need a person that can access the Admin CP to create boards.

I think someone who is active right now should be appointed mod just so they can approve apps and make forums.
But anyway, I read up on the mines and stuff but to me it makes no sense. How much does an iron mine cost(petals and resources), how long does it take, and how often and how much iron will I get from it?

All that information, my friend, is under the Universal Store thread in the Trade section.

Did you read the Universal Store topic? All that information is above the chart. Here's an example to help you understand. Name | Mine Time | Mine Cost | Gained every 4 days | Crystal | 80 Days | 240 Petals | 25 Units |
Mine Time is the time it takes to build the mine, even though you buy it(Mine Cost). The Gained Every 4 Days part is the number of units you gain every 4 In-Game days(1 Real-life day). So in this case, if you wanted a Crystal Mine, you'd pay 240 petals and do an 80 day project. After that's done, you'd get 25 units every day until it's destroyed. Hope this helps. EDIT: There's no limit to mines, but it's unlikely you'll get very many with the mine costs and time.

Is there is a limit too how many mines of each kind you can have and how many you can have total?

Infinity, you can access the administrative CP now. Add anybody else as staff you want, mess with the news fader, change rules, do whatever you want. Feel free to keep the game rolling if you wish, several people do seem to have time to manage armies. It won't be particularly active like it was a few months ago, but it looks like enough to sustain itself.
I can show you how to use some basic CP functions if you don't know how. I'd just stay out of the coding area, that's a nightmare to understand.

Is infinite the only player who has been appointed or can he appoint others?
And thank you for doing that, I have a feeling that after awhile people will come back and now we have the ability to let them play.

Infinity is the only new staff member, but since he is Emperor Dweevil, he can pretty much do whatever he wants, including appoint new staff.
If you want to see a list of staff members (most of which are inactive), click "Members" at the top of the screen, and then "View Staff Members".
