Anyone teching next set? Looking for two allies, PM me if you're interested. No suiciders please.

i think express would be better without tech allies, and possibly any allies if PS was changed a little

it'd be fun to see only one ally allowed. 1 d ally, 1 tech ally. make it interesting and different, cause tourny already has no allies.

the admins went way out of their way to increase the amount of tech in the game, and now a chorus begins to reduce it again? why?
i think the increased tech is great for the game becasue it allows for greater diversity of strat and tactics

full, thanks guys

g=) win the game slaggy!

He would... but i'm playing. :P

its not about reducing tech

its that 4 techers playing together is quite a lot in a server with maybe 60 active countries

and im uncertain as to whether getting 10% tech from an ally helps a techer more than it hurts having someone who presumably knows what they are doing teching as well causing all prices to fall

plus needing tech allies is just one more way that techer is a pain in express to play

There are at least 2 groups of 4 techers in Express this set. Tech prices aren't horrible but they are much lower than last set. I predict that a last-minute casher will win Express yet again.

agreed ^

at the three quarter point of the set
the favorites to win are:

3 and 89
and 55 is my dark horse

well... not anymore... since you just pointed them out to suiciders :P

3 has a good chance, especially if he was able to scam research alliances to leech off of as he has done in previous resets. It's a brilliant strategy if you really want to play that way.

3 will be beat by at least 1, unless he has either 1. a whole lotta turns stored, or 2. a much more massive tech stock than his NW makes it appear.

#89 or #55 would have to have a lot of turns stored as well, but I really don't see a rep winning the set this set...at least unless mil prices drop significantly.

Not gonna waste perfectly good teching turns getting the spy ops, so I guess my opinion really isn't worth much on the matter.

I have no idea what 3 is doing this set but I have observed him sit around with nothing but a bunch of tanks and tech in previous sets. The tanks scare people off while the tech accumulates from research alliances. He only played the minimum amount of turns not to lose any and had perfect timing. Even if someone were to hit him early or in the middle of the game, it wouldn't hurt his final NW much because of DRs and how he plays his turns.

I'd really like to see a CI win Express again but that probably won't happen either. It's just a matter of time before someone goes apefluff on the biggest commie because of how he's been triple LGing everyone.

Need two tech allies for this set.

tech allies?
i have no wish to seel my wares for $756 on monday morning no thanks

If any of the guys from last set are going to tech again. I still need two tech allies as well.

techs gonna get real cheap if mine keeps on NOT SELLING

I need one more tech ally. You must actually be teching. PM me your country # and I'll give you mine.
