Why would anyone use the I (dict) strategy in Express to netgain? After all I have read this is probably the worse strategy to use to try and win? Can someone please explain to me why there is a player in Express who is top 10 using this strategy?

I am confused, this game is very difficult.

Dict captures more ghost acres,, maybe he wants to beat the land record.

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up

I can see how a very active Dict could do well. I might try it next reset.

I'm not netgaining, I'm merely waiting for some jerk to try something stupid so I can destroy his/her country with a vengeance.

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!

I'm playing the dict, just got my arse handed to me by 3 players, my own fault i purposely over farmed to see if I can get away with it, guess not. :D

there is a joint op that almost killed me 131 and 34 and now 100 is using me as a missle dump...I thought players get deleted for teaming? Oh well C'est La Vie.

Depends, if you fk with multiple players you open thee door for what may seem as coordinated attacks, but may not be, ie, i have killed countries that where started to be killed by others that also got hit by the country in question, i never coordinated, i just picked up where the other guy left off.

take a look at the news they attacked at the same time and they are now both trying to spy kill me ...lol But to answer your question yes I did farm them and 100 I only grabbed once but he decided to join in on the fun :D

Yup im #23 like I said i was screwing around this set, and koh please I was looking for a fight and couldnt get one until i woke up this morning and saw i had 3 players to fight :D

KOH anytime you wonna 1 v 1 lets do it, this netting thing isn't as much fun as I remember but farming and warring is awesome :o)

But to clear things up I am not saying I didn't deserve it, I was under the impression you could not coordinate attacks is all :D

I was going for land, not networth. But if I was going for networth, I would have finished quite nicely. Instead, I broke the land record by over 10k acres (that was about 16 months ago).

Dictator grows faster than any other government and is better protected against topfeeders than any other government.

Land is useful when netgaining ;)

It's not a challenge raz, it's merely a statement of fact.

I generally only build a war machine. I don't netgain here when it's such a great game to test some new tactics out with.

Not that hard country to break though, is it? It's amazing no one attacked him.

Anyway, Express is a bit short to run a proper Dict I think. It's about half as many turns maybe as Primary, so there's less time to make up the construction penalty.

I knew what you meant, and I play express for the same reason.
