Welcome to the club, the guys here are great. They fight among each other but it’s a big fam. It is cool. Blow of some steam and make a few friends. It is a unique game.

Watch out for this dubious character named Superfly though. Think of him as this troll that you will meet who will jump out from under a bridge and bludgeon you. Its something we all went through. Your official once that happens.

When you do that tech start spend like 5 turns on warfare tech so you have missiles. That should help keep you be a little safer. Missiles scare most people away from breaking GDI because they do so much damage on big countries. A lot of missiles is maybe the best defense to prevent being farmed, besides being at the top anyways.

Primary is very hard, you are walking into the lions den there. Maybe try and go play with one of the clans on alliance or practice on express. Express is very fun too it it is great for practice. If you go play with a clan they will teach you and share strategies.

Here, try this walk through. It should help you a massive amount to get started and figure things out a little.

a 10,000 acre techer that stocks early can hit around 50 mil, so these techers grabbing to 30,000 + acres and finishing at 30 mil and using all of their turns to do 50 acre land grabs (instead of a few 500-800 acre grabs and using those same turns to tech and make $$$) are losing a substantial amount of money. I would compare it to the games equivalent of an empire that spends all of their $$$ on frivolous adventures overseas and then comes home with little to show for it.

I have no idea A-Rod I’ve been wondering that myself. You have about 3 guys that run tyrannies and they will grab the bots until they can’t get good gains. Maybe the mods should give them their own bots so they can ruin
The game for themselves but not you as well. Seems more fair if someone is going to do something like that to not ruin it for everyone. Or maybe more bots.

I don’t know but what a stupid thing to do 50 acres per turn lmao there’s same guys never finish over 20-30 mil tops because of this silly stuff

Good vibes thread.



When I first came to this community I had been gone for a long hiatus. I contacted players from almost every clan, skol, tmac, nitell, gerdler. Just to name a few.

What I found where all of these guys where extremely nice and went out of their way to help me. I found it to be a very positive experience and it was a fun time playing. I will probally leave soon and come back some years later but I just wanted to leave some good vibes.


I thought it needs to be said because I havent seen it said.


Thank you guys for going way out of your way to be kind and help me through no gain of your own. Truly there are some nice people I’ve found here.


I'm going to second this Cat. I started playing EE about a month ago. I've asked plenty of players for advice and every person has generiously helped me become a stronger player. This community is filled with alot of amazing people that want this game to survive.


Welcome to the club man glad to have you. Glad others are finding the same, now if we can just get the rest of the world to start doing it as well ha

I prefer the ease of game play of casher and can’t manage selling on the market,

I had bushels stuck at 44 that didn’t sell, they were returned from the market after 48 hours, so I started with bushels today when I logged in and ran turns.

I forgot to save a turn to sell, so I just sold all my food on my own PM at 33. Now I just checked market and see that there is literally no food for sale and a bid price of 45, haha



Max your military strat and you can sell on public for $38. When I hit 75 mil on express with the fascist I didn’t even sell on the public market one time if I remember correctly. Usually unless prices are over 45 and I have extra bushels, I won’t sell on public because of that.

Techer is what gets me because if your tech doesn’t sell, you can’t play turns. Commie has this issue as well over on team I hear from the other guys. It would be cool if techer and Indy had a private market option, casher is already the same since if the market is empty you just use private market and it usually works fine. That’s the main reason everyone is playing fascist is the market limitations of the other strats, you can see it most over on team where entire teams are fascists and the market routinely goes totally empty.

Many of us here have went on a rampage, been an *** and made a lot of people mad. They will get over it just chill out and give it time. Tmacs a good dude and Andrew is too. If your sincere and nice to them I’m sure they will get over it in time, although I cannot speak for them. That was really a **** move on Andrew though. He worked a long time on that thing and it was a special set that will be hard to replicate with the biggest clan in a war.

But I’m sure you can redeem yourself, I’m

What galleri said ^^^ since I’ve been here I saw everyone talks crazy to her and she VOLUNTEERS her time? That’s what I’ve heard. If true I’m amazed she doesn’t go on banning sprees just for kicks.

The transparency will also help players know who and what to watch for. Every time I see a purple I always wonder “what was going on there?”


I’ve played with crackhead quite a few times as well, good player and runs strong countries. Can’t say I’ve ever seen him doing anything funny, only very good finishes.

I think Gal does a good job though especially if she’s not being funded. All the humans I know are just struggling to juggle life much less find time to referee the battle of the **tards

But they are new and if you look at how fast they have organized and evolved since the start of this set I think they are going to be a legit team.

If you look at how they orchestrated that AB run it wasn’t a kill run but they executed it very nicely. That could be a kill run on a lot of people. Maybe not that guy but a lot of people. I know the war clans are hard as heck to kill, I learned that with getafix and his 9 cat lives.

Sorry if you took that bad blackhole, I didn’t meant I insult your team, my point was just that darkness backs up there reputation. I had never seen them fight before (I’m new to this server as well).

I’m highly impressed by how quickly your team is evolving and your ability to organize guys together. I do think people are underestimating you. Time will tell but I have a feeling you will build a legit team.

I think that actually is the current game rules over there. There was a big thing on the team forums and the majority of players agreed that there should be no 5 man limit. So you can run multiple teams with the same tag. You can also just run a regular team, we do and others do as well, others do run multiple team tags that are essentially alliances.

Bring a friend and come by team is very fun. The market dynamics are very unpredictable without the bots, it’s the Wild Wild West, it’s awesome. A lot of fun. It would be cool to see more of you guys play over there.

I think you guys actually did well. You went up against a team of elite war players and learned why they have the respect they do. Amazing performance by darkness.

Go back to the drawing board, learn to run a strong strategy and then come back. It would be cool to see this story turn into an epic rivalry if your clan grows and adapts and learns from this.


It would be really cool if you guys makes your clan the children of the light so the war would between befween Darkness and Light.


But it looks like they schooled you good this round. That’s the worst *** whooping I’ve ever seen. Quite cool to get to see how good their clan really is though and I think everyone would love to see more.



I wonder if maybe if you had 3 or 4 teams if they could still bang with you. I mean that was a very strong performance by them.

I'm pretty sure, like any good shopkeeper in an RPG, that I could literally hack the guy to bits with a sword and he would be back in the same shop the next day selling the same odds and ends. Free will doesn't exist, and the totality of our experience is environmentally based, but some folks will follow bread crumbs off a cliff.

Most people on these forums I would safely categorize as "not assholes", but there are always exceptions.

Suiciders and cry babies likely refers to some of the people you recruited, based on their past behavior. I'm not too familiar with all of the names, but it's not too unsurprising that people who like the ideals of a resistance don't get along in game or in the forums with many.

For the threats aspect, I'd argue that's just mirroring your (less direct?) threats to upend the status quo and force netters to war. Besides, sfbob is likely in FastCars and (rightfully) is probably just as pissed at you.

I support your goals of learning from the best warrers and looking to recruit and expand your presence. I'm less supportive of forcing war on everyone (as a netter myself) but as long as people are playing the game and not just being jerks, that's more on me than you.

Glad we have your guys respect. That makes my day, I know my little group is legit now for you to say that.



What is the point of making pacts with all/most tags in this server? To prevent any warring and allow an all-x NW'er to come out on top?

Seems like the multiple pacts defeat the spirit of the server...



Well for me personally I enjoy them but I have 4 other guys on my team as well who have various reasons for not wanting to war. Some of them it’s time, some just don’t enjoy warring.

A big part of it as well is the war clans are so good at what they do you won’t find anyone who wants to take part in that. Mainly because it would just be self flagellation.


I think it would be great to have a few more legit war clans personally but good luck finding guys with the time and skill who want to play. I’ve propose “dumbing” down darkness play style to meet other clans halfway (so maybe they would agree to a war then) but they aren’t interested and I get that too, why agree to a one handed
Boxing match if you already have the title.
