You can use oil to restock you private market. It means that with minimal land and tech you can minimise your private market purchase prices, increase bushel sell price to $35 and maximise your jump. It also means that when stocking you can stock right till the final day (even final turn) to maximise nw.

get fat, get HUGE stock, get flufftons of oil (as cheap as possibly), build some mbs, drop unused land, buy some mil tech, use oil to get pm units and win.

I hate that this is a mechanic. I sort of want to make dropping land take turns to discourage this :(

woah pang still exists? respect.

destocking used to be an art form / actually require skill, planning and some risk / reward tradeoffs.

what was the reason for adding the oil thing to PM?

I think if you made the amount of oil burnable to be dependent on your current acreage it would solve it. Like you can make your private 5 times bigger than your normal max size(or equilibrium size) in one go, and then that amount replenishes like the same way like the private market does. That way you would have to get at least a couple thousand acres of mil bases, rather than just 1-100, and you would have to time your switch very well and sell food on the public market to get it done.

The oil burning mechanic is necessary to find an endgame demand for oil, but its not balanced atm. :/

Also if you make dropping land take turns you really need a nerf to chemical missiles.

This game needs both netting and war if you want this game to still have a functional market. Just because you dont like a certain goal doesnt mean everyone have to do it your way.

Just make land kills with nukes a thing as stated above
