This may be a fluke set or a future trend, but the Dem techer sure can destock well with these military prices, and is hardly losing any value in the food stock process.

I'm sticking with my initial prediction that a commie will win this set despite the low military prices at the moment.

What do you guys think the cutoff for top 10 will be? Im guessing ~105m?

Hmm..isn't it a bit too early to talk about unit pricing? The price may skyrocket yet. And I do know I won't be in the top for sure. : D

anyway back to the topic...I'm sticking with my top5 pick.

3 commies, 1 theo and a rep and the rep takes it.

ok slight edit. 2 commies, 1 theo, 1 rep and a wild card (any govt). That should help in my chance of getting all 5 correct lol.

Also, all countries in the top 10 will have more than 100m NW. The cut off might be 105m.

A commie beating the rep while selling at under $90? I don't think it's possible!

At this point is the commie probably not selling anymore? He's at 71M already tho, which seems a bit high to just cash out rest of set, so it seems like he'll have to sell some more at some point, maybe thinks that prices will increase enough over next few days its worth it to essentially stock in military...probably makes sense

There's no way he has the stock to go without selling. He's not selling much now probably because he hopes the prices go up, but he has to sell to keep going. He also has to outrun Budweiser and Dartmouth who owe him retals, but I don't think that will be a problem.

5k indies @ 100% jets ~ 20k jets/turn ~ 12k nw/turn

With 300 turns (probably more), that's roughly 3.6 mil nw... In addition to the nw loss from the attack which looks like 2 mil nw.

that blows...

yeah I was pegging him around 130m and I'd say around 124m now. I don't think the other commies crack 120m. I think the Rep and Theo break 130m (and indeed, maybe break 140m) and would have won regardless

edit: i think i underestimated, i think he would have gotten over 135m and can still almost reach 130m.

haha 2 weeks is pushing it, but month old is really over the line (except maybe when you're a farmer, since they grow late when prices rise).

The problem is, if you hit back, it could mean set over. although one commie i noticed ROR'd twice and got away with it.

With 4.5 days to go...my picks will be:

1. rep casher #15
2. theo casher #151
3. commie indy #167
4. commie indy #199
5. demo techer #63
6. commie indy #276
7. theo techer #247
8. commie ind #132
9. commie ind #85
10. fascist farmer #5
11. commie ind #67

Tough call though, not sure how many I will nail haha. Pretty sure I've placed some of the commies too low.

It's primary double tap at your own risk. I don't think there is a time line for retals. Just because your a fast growing commie at the start over a slow farmer doesn't make it so he can't retal you later. You hit someone they are entitled to try and retal back. If you can outrun like 167 did to me then perfect if not you will be hit back. Then double tapping because someone made a legit retal I don't care at that point you deserve to get wrecked then.

Double tapping at any time means you are taking a risk at getting your reset destroyed. With the GDI change, retal polices change as well.

tbh I think it makes sense

If someone big wants war your finish is ruined even if you have SDI. so why get SDI? Just cross your fingers instead.

now on the other hand if you didn't join GDI and are trying to get through an entire set, buy SDI or dont bother netting

I still don't buy it. It's always best to be prepared. If there's anything I've learned in this game it is that bad luck comes 10x as many times as good luck, lol.

When people DT they always up their tanks so it's obvious they are trying to minimize damage they are not just crossing their fingers. So why not get the SDI.

Seeing as herbs didn't fail a single attack ABs and missiles, it would seem jedioda was crossing all his fingers and toes.

Why herbs did the attacks backasswards, I don't know. I would think Nukes 1st then ABes and chems for readiness.

because a commie can just switch production to tanks, and it's free. getting SDI to something worthwhile takes hundreds of millions of $.

anyway that's the end of jedioda's top ten streak. 10 rounds in a row.

That's the thing though. Producing tanks isn't the most efficient and is not really free either, there's a cost associated with that.

haha..I approve of herbs action, simply because Jedioda decided to tap me when I was in a war. : D
But by Herbs own theory, he should've been long dead for all his multi-taps that he did.

I think what Herbs did make sense if he ran spy ops to among his ABs. Or Jedi just didn't have any significant amount of tanks to drop Herbs readiness.

I am going have to revise my grabbing policy. Farm the noobs and single tap the pros. : D

Hell, yeah, but it can be hard to decide :/ Doing my first full set in primary since 2006, and I'll probably end up atleast top 30 (techer). I doubletapped frequently start of the set, one guy retalled with nukes and that's pretty much it. Otherwise multitapping worked pretty good, given that I wasn't a huge commie.
