cast your votes, also who will win this set? whoever gets it right receive pack of ciggarette through mail

Top four will be in some order:
outersphere
VivaLuatioN (if he finishes)
I am an oldman
Rainbow Strategy Equals Win

Last one will probably be the highest finishing techer

Tech prices pretty mediocre for techers, military prices great for commies, food prices lousy for farmers. Those prices add up to somewhat average prices for cashers. At least one commie should break 30m.

i think commie will take this round

I bet you blid that outersphere won't make it to top 5

D:

I think if a theo techer/casher has been playing the military market right, they should finish well too.

I see your bet and raise you double.

With these military prices, a good commie can get popped a few times and still make it up around 30m nw. I really only see one good commie though. That's probably why the military prices are so high.

96 won't be there

I figure the rep casher takes it. If it isn't deleted of course for hmmmm,....LEECHING, maybe?

Well looks like I'm going to be more of a top ten type country than a top five. Got popped for some reason.

MIlitary prices are even higher than last set. A commie will take it.

very crazy, I have had to retal 2 commies so far. It would be so much better to make 5, 500k jet PS's and take away 2k land with a 30% chance of getting retaled than to make 1, 6million jet PS to take away 2.2k land and then have me retal you back for 1.8k land.

All this does is slow my progress to reach the old 43k land record. Guess I will try again next round :P

i won't make anywhere near top 10 probably no where near top 20. so i said to myself might as well make a post for bonus points now. oh and Merry Christmas to everyone!!

TWO THINGS.

1. You will not be making the land record with anything other than a dict, not happening.

2. The field when those records were made was full of 'millipedes'. These days, you WILL get topfed if you get fat. There are people that kill you if you come OOP to early. People kill you if you are not in GDI. People topfeed you if you are fat. Good luck trying though.

The 1st and 3rd largest countries ever on Express were hit by 17 landgrabs and 26 landgrabs respectively. You still got topfed back then if you got too fat without enough defense.

Can you share the link, please? Thanks.

Holy smoke! Never mind then.

also i'd point out that "back then" was july of this year.

My country in express that made it to 42k acres lost just 128 acres to landgrabs, which is over 50% more than my fat primary country has lost so far this set. So clearly, my get fat as a dict and don't ever get topfed strategy still works .... and watch me get topfed in primary now by someone who wants to prove me wrong.

In primary you got fattest after the top feeding ended.

^ That's the day I was thinking of, ie, the day no rain made his final hit on whoever has the most land (it was oldman at the time).

Riverbend's big hit (heh 10k acres!) hadn't happened when I made that post. But I assume at this point most of the top 5 or so players have ~30m turrets and you have to be pretty unlucky to have someone decide to hit a person with that much def. Pimping aint easy on the other hand was still attacking pretty recently so he probably wasn't that high defense yet.

When no rain hit old man, I had the most land on the server BEFORE the hit on old man. And I'd been top 5 on the server in land for a few weeks already.

Hm, if it's you, you two had basically the exact same land (within 200 acres), so it's obvious the commie would get hit instead of the dict.
