Any tips for not being stuck with around $10,000 or less, all through out your first 100 turns, until you can use the market?

What's the best tax rate to have?? Right now I got it at 42%, just high enough that I don't lose people.

What should I be producing during my first 100 turns when doing indy? I got

Industrial Complex 43
Farm 33 (I'll destroy these once I make money on the market!)
Construction Site 27

Say I can build 11 buildings per turn. I'm trying to figure out how to have enough money to actually build 11 building in one turn, so I can get as much as possible out of each turn before I can get money from the market.

first sell your food and your troops on private market
35% tax rate
if your going commie, switch to commie
Explore when needed.

20 CS's.

Sell food on private

40 farms

sell food

20 more cs's

80 farms

20 more CS's

200 farms

now build Indies too 1100 while selling food

get to about 1900 acers, explore 36 turns

that is a super quick run down for starting up

Is it that norm to sell the initial food on the PM now? For years I know it was always said to sell the troops, but I always kept the food.

depends if you go farmer start up or not. If you're going to be selling your food anyways, might as well do it initially. If you don't sell food on private, then you'll want to keep it so you don't have to spend more money to buy off public.

Well in this instance you obviously wouldn't go farmer start as a C/I.

So you would keep it, correct?

it's the first 100 turns, what exactly are your dang goals during the 1st 100 turns?

can you build faster if you sell the food?

you get more money

I do
Sell Food/Troops
1 CS on 70%
1 CS on 44%
8 CS on 35%
Sell
10 CS

99 turns :p

I have been doing that since 2001 :P

If you play optimally in the first 100 turns, it actually can give you quite an advantage over other players playing the same strat.

thanx
will try that
