Who you have a Private War and Treaty Declaration don’t show up. In fact, I can’t get the personal Peace Treaty to work at all.
The interest seems to be off when I calculated.
Experience?

Edit: I changed a little more. Is it possible that we could put the guide for the Status Page in the same setup as the real Status Page?

[The Beatles]

I don't think it should be "should" spend on upkeep... it's how much they /have/ to spend on upkeep.
Stocks is really dumbing it down, I think that should just be stated once. Besides we might have different amounts of each.

Overall, good, but I'd make it more explanatory than expository, i.e. instead of pointing out what might be obvious, either explain its significance or something non-obvious about it, or don't talk about it at all. I.e. the financial section could be dismissed with a few well-chosen sentences, and be easier to understand than it is now.

[Nohc]

Ok, I'll rework it as soon as I get to use my other computer...

[pal90]

this guide is missing something (experience) what is experience any way?

[The Beatles]

I'll post the formula and a brief explanation later.

Edit: I changed a little more. Is it possible that we could put the guide for the Status Page in the same setup as the real Status Page? That way players can easily locate the area that they have a question on.

[The Beatles]

That is an excellent idea; and I'll do so.

[Nohc]

Cool. So you don't need me to do any actual coding? I think I could if you want.

[The Beatles]

No, it's all right. We can reuse templates.
