a simple one, i keep getting told build more CS. i have over 5k acers and 110 CS. according to the chart 100 CS supports up to 40k Acers. so whats the advantage of 180 cs. alittle faster build maybe, but u have to be able to support them..

thoughts.. and yes, i don't know everything

:o

BPT = Building per turn
aka the earlier you get your bpt up = more turns are saved in the long run

Most CS should be gotten under the first 600 turns.

they were, afew tech allies screaming to increase them.. my lands 95% build now, so im telling them its cool where it is..

formula for bpt

should be 5 + (CS/4) (1.40) if you are a Theo

so yours should be

5 + (110/4) = 32.5 so by adding 2 more CS your bpt would increase to 33

and your land is all build, but it takes too long to build up the new land you get, unless you are a Rep/Casher that will do NOTHING but Cash his turns, otherwise I would agree with your allies

also, if you want to know how to be better at this game try to join an alliance :)

Join Paradigm and I'll teach you that silly Theo/mrb strat that people say is advanced and hard.

thanks much Chaos

that way the only bad advice you get is on the forum


the guy with the bad hat does not consider your strat, how long you intend to tech, the price of tech on the market, your projections for tech prices for the set, your intentions in the post-tech phase or anything else, so just turn him off

some day in the distant future he will consider strat, server, gov type and server markets over the last three sets. until then, just leave him turned off.

if you are teching, in a low turn server with a recent history of low tech prices you need to determine the number of techers playing this set, the potential demand, the timing of the price collapse and a host of other factors before deciding how many labs to build and how long to keep them before starting your post-tech phase. once you have made those decisions, then decide h0w many CS to build

thanks

Brilliant idea lincoln. If he had turned it off, he'd still be misunderstanding how many cs he needs.

Hey the guy can be useful

He actually told me when my explore rate would decrease :) At 4480 acres our exploration rate will go down by one :)

besides that, you shouldn't really listen to him :)

So Paulie what is your general strategy for express?

to finish as high as i can this time. techin hard, and its selling b4 i can put more on market. trying to keep my land built, and the tech flowing.. so far so good. ill be happy with a top ten finish, its been awhile

one tech slot left open, pm me.. thanks

If you are teching then +93% of your land should be Labs.... hmmm I wonder if you are playing a low land techer... with is pretty likely :)

GO and GIME CHEAP TECH :)

Wait, which chart tells you that 100 CS is good for 40k acres?

Your current BPT is really only good up to 4k acres or so. Personally I think you will need more.

I think he is confusing bpt with cs.

most likely

also 32.5 is NOT good for 4k :p

The earlier you get your bpt the better :)

I have played 394 turns, 220 of which are CSs. That is a BPT of 60. I plan to reach a BPT of 75. I plan to reach maybe 12k acres ish (express, all explore commie, we'll see what acres i hit)

my thanks for all pointers.. thing are going well, knock on wood.

97% OF Land built.
