Heh, thanks for the military ya'll, now I only have twice as much bliss as military, down from three times as much.
Orlok, I recently joined my 21st alliance (thx for the mil, nightcolors!), it cost me more than a million bucks. You're currently supposed to get a coupon at 10 and 25 alliances that *you* join. Ten have joined *me*, haven't gotten any coupons for that. Those who join me get first pick of the gifts though
Oh, I'm at 30822 population at level 12 but I've been deliberately increasing population in order to get more bucks. I get 480,353 bucks per cycle but it was almost 500K before I took a whack instead of losing all my military.
I've got one food core and two energy cores, the lowest I think is at level 7. They're one space from eachother so that I can null out using only one asset-space. I've got 7 thorium reactors, they upgrade well. The Encyclopedia Galactica is great for emergency bucks. I've put an ansible between the cores in order to null out bliss-production from them.
