Aid dilemma.

[Joker]

Okay, so I'm doing my usual business, helping distribute aid, right? Well, I send out $1 million to all the designated recipients as I'm supposed to...then one guy goes inactive. This brings all my spending to a screeching halt, since I'm not sure if I can spend so much that my treasury dips below $1 million and still send out the aid as I'm supposed to.

So, basically, my question is: If I spend so much money that I have less than $1 million in the treasury, can my aid offer still be accepted and will the guy get the $1 million like he's supposed to?

My understanding is that the aid would be given, and you'd go into debt till you made back the money to break even.

I haven't done it to test that, but it's what I've read.

Well I don't mind going into debt - I have nearly $3 million on hand total including the aid waiting to be sent, I figure if I spent it all I could be able to make enough money afterwards it wouldn't be a big deal to dig myself out of that hole.

Well, I found out the answer, I have to keep $1 million on hand.

Well, I found out the answer, I have to keep $1 million on hand.

So, in the end, what happens in situations like that? I usually wonder what would happen if I sent 50 tech to two people at the same time, while having only slightly over 50 myself, and they both accepted the offer before I could rebuy 50 tech (I tech trade, in case you haven't noticed by now).

My understanding based on the CN game guide (which you get to through clicking the links in your nation display for things like soldiers and infra and whatnot) is that if you make an aid offer that you don't have the goods to deliver on, it's cancelled.

i don't believe you can send your last dollar, i know you can send ALL your tech, but i believe you need 1million AND 50 dollars for a 1mil aid to go through
