    This has been an eye-opening experience for me. I had some friends who had difficulty grasping the basics of fractions when they were 8 years old, but I never thought anyone over the age of 10 could possibly have such a poor grasp of such a simple subject.

    Vines, I would hate to see you trying to learn high school math...

    I think we need a poll about whether or not he's simply an amazingly skilled troll who has fooled most of us. I'm undecided.

    You can make that dragon jump up and down with your scroll wheel, btw.

    Yeah I don't think he is being serious.

    I really, really hope it is a joke, because otherwise I have lost a little faith in humanity...

    Vines, just stop and save yourself further embarassment. You've already lost all credibility in this community. Your best option is to simply disappear from the forums.

    To everyone else, no he's not kidding. He's dead serious. This is coming from someone who has killed his province from a kingdom a few ages back.

    Nah you guys. One really doesn't need science. I'm telling you guys the truth. Sciences and will always make one's province stronger. However, pop science for ghome is not a must. Right now I really do I have a province without science not because I don't want it but because I didn't have the time to get it. I was puting all my income into military units due to the war we were in. And the fact that I didn't have any science I was using that was an exaplem and as proof that one does need science to have strong province.

    I never say science was not good. I said one doesn't need science in order to have a superstong province. My province is proof of that and when I start building science my province will be even strong. I see too many people think that because they have lots of science that will make their province strong. If one's province sucks with out science than one's province can't be that good with science. My point is too many people have a province that would suck if it didn't have science. My province is stronger than any other province my size and I haven't strarted to learn sciences yet. Now when I start learning sciences my province will not be strong, because it is already strong. Instead, it will be on a different level. Don't believe me? I'll give you the proof.

    But that's still complete rubbish vines. Minimal research is extremely easy to afford and pays off in no time. Put your books in Alchemy, Tools and Housing and you'll have both greater strength and income in a few days. For that matter, the first few books you put into any field will probably pay off in less than an hour.

    No, your province is proof that you won't necessarily get owned hard by nubs just because you have a rotten province. Which is quite true, there's more to the game than having a strong province. Doesn't change the fact that your province is utter crap and underdeveloped.

    And let's keep playing the fraction game for a bit. Now we know the following according to vines-math:
    1/2 = 50% = 0.5
    1/20 = 5% = 0.05
    1/50 = 2% = 0.02
    1/92 = 92% = 0.092, not 0.92 as previously stated

    Is this correct?

    The thing is when I said that I was thinking in term of my province. At the time no science was better because if I had no science comming out I could put 100%gc into military now my military is built over all province health is strong I can worry science. If is worry about science from the get go one can gage how strong one's province is in trems of raw output. And the greater the raw output of a province the greater the MOD out put. This is why I don't like helping people because they don't understand me.
