Turns. I won last set with an ffo and i bonused turns.

However you're probably fluffed this set and a techer could win because i need like $500m in aggy @ less than $4000 yesterday to come close to last set.

Good luck to the cashers and techers.

Turns until you're in full stocking mode, then it's food booms of course.

Food booms are racist against the children starving to death in africa. I boycott food booms.

Yeah. Also depends how much rigs you have whether or not to do turns or booms late. Do your own math and decide there.

Building costs are mathematically about equal to turns in the very beginning. Once you can use turns to mass explore(if you mass explore) that is superior for sure. But building costs for the first few days allows you to raise your Agri techs faster so I would opt for it up until that point.

Again its all very similar. Team has too many turns for all-xp anyway since you all end up at the same acreage no matter what you do. One turn saved or one turn more of bonuses means 5-6 more acres in the end, which is a very small difference. No way to distinguish oneself with playing better, just with how much time you spend and how little defence you can get away with carrying basically.

So does the private market bonus increase the number of units converted from oil or is it only of interest to the long dead TMBR strat?

The latter.

If you could say get it to 20% and you plan to destock off your private exclusively, it could mean an extra 50-100 turns you get to run before you have to jump.

Last set I played a Rep Techer converting to TMBR at about day 23 of the set and came 5th with $63.76m NW, so the TMBR is not totally dead.

Yeah TMBR(no oil) has gotten 84m+ here so I would say this is the only server that no oil TMBR is viable bordering on strong. It requires a lot more of the player tho which is why probably its not used all that often.

$84m! Not bad :)

With mine there was no oil either. Early tech prices were very high and bushels were cheap, so instead of doing a tech start I just kept teching with my all-x rep techer and stocked 150m bushels. And late military prices were high, so it worked out pretty well. I'm was pretty sure that with some fine-tuning and maybe stocking some oil in addition to bushels it could be better than $64m. I'll probably try again some time.
