Right at the North Pole. Population 1,000, but only worth 500 'cause elves are half size.

That should be our next resource city

Seriously people, you're getting to all the good cities before me . . . . :'(
Great idea, though! :cheesy
Zinc, out.

HAHAHAHAH this is brilliant, you've gotta add this one Blitzy or i'll be forced to jump on there and do it personally :cool:

heh, what would the resource be? An obligation to give geos out on christmas?

Yes! :evil hahahahaha

Oh great Tara tries to add a city on the North pole..... 1500 geos to whoever guesses closest to where she really accidently puts it. :nana

Its in Afghanistan :nana now go fix it (joking)

ADD IT ALREADY! :cool: some time before next xmas would be nice, you old codger!

T.

Heh you're going to have a city right in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.

Perhaps you could pay geos to melt the polar ice... :evil

Although this all seems funny, Mcmurdo and now the north pole are strategic bases as they allow you to hop over the globe and station forces there very easily.

EG. McMurdo is a good way to jump from Australia to South America

Nope, armies move slower at the poles than at the equator - trust me, my homebase is on the south pole & it takes me 13 hours to get to McMurdo.. :confused: :(

LOL! Are you sure there isn't a glitch that makes your army march all the way around the other side of the globe?

Hey guys what does McMurdo have to do with santa's 'lil workshop ? :cool:

Actually... maybe it's because your troops have to apply sunscreen every 5 minutes to keep their skin from melting off because of the ozone hole.

if nothing changed lately, distance is still angular (proportional to longitude/latitude differences) at the moment. This should eventually be improved...

i found this small JavaScript function on the web:

function distance(form){
var rad = 180 / Math.PI;
distmiles = 3960 * Math.acos(Math.cos((90 - form.startpointlat.value)/rad) * Math.cos((90 - form.checkpointlat.value)/rad) + Math.sin((90 - form.startpointlat.value)/rad) * Math.sin((90 - form.checkpointlat.value)/rad) * Math.cos((form.startpointlon.value - form.checkpointlon.value)/rad));
form.dist.value = Math.round(distmiles);
form.km.value = Math.round(distmiles * 1.609344);
form.nm.value = Math.round((distmiles * 1.609344) / 1.852);
}

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA x 10

Army path is a straight line - they just are slower, its how the troop movement algorithm works... ;)
