Hands down most memorable moments in game history.

I can say that in my own experience having a young kid good with social media advertising skills made my clan go from recruiting zero players to an influx of players we couldn’t
Keep up with.

Unfortunately I can’t get ahold of him, he was some young kid from Indonesia but man was he smart at that. Wish I knew how to contact him still but I bet there’s others like him if we look. Im no computer guy but I’ve seen it done by a kid so it can’t be that hard, probally can source some overseas firm
To do it for $500 and do it well.

Advertising is the biggest thing on a business fails. If you can get your name
Out there you won’t fail if you have a good product. This game is hella fun.


But business with good advertising they don’t go under, sometimes even with a crappy product but this place has a community aspect you can’t find in any other game which essentially makes it priceless (you old farts here will find youth bring some good vibe back up in the place as well with their newfound love of the game, they won’t be burned out like you old farts)



Advertising advertising advertising. That’s what will ultimately decide this places fate.

This game was created in the 90s when no visuals in this game promoted compatibility. Nowadays its simply not necessary. but if we are gonna keep this game alive for a new generation of players we need to develop some form of steady revenue rather then the same 20 guys paying for premium(which is still a great option). I'm no coder but i feel like it wouldn't take much. Would it be a lot of work to implement something like that? Or any other suggestions for a cosmetic?

Too much negativity up in this mofo for me.

Pour you a glass. Roll one. Whatever, idc.


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.

As a monarchy you have to drop land until you can sell at $35. Mbs lower the price while that 50k-100k mil tech is what raises it. If you can't get to $35 you'll have to destroy some mbs. You only need 1 since you can drop to 1 acre. Most people don't like the idea of 1 grab killing them so they keep a bit more land up to maybe 100 acres.

Cat's second post looks like something I wrote, but for a hybrid destock and missing some steps. That ratio would be much different because you do a 40 hour logout to inflate your pm as well as getting around 28x your acres in military tech. You need 9 turns for this because you must recall tech too. You don't drop any land with this one until after buying out your pm, then you drop land, burn oil, and buyout your pm again.


I did take a bit out, I was trying to protect some of your secrets haha I wasn’t for sure if you wanted it all out there so I went on the side of caution

Make sure you have the right oil:food ratio prior to doing this destock. Thanks to Nitell and Tmac for all the help


But if you have the correct oil:food ratio

1. Build a turn of mbs
2. Sell max tech
3. Sell max goods
4. Go monarchy
5. Recall tech
6. Recall goods
7. Destroy all buildings except mbs(KEEP THE LAND!)
8. Sell all food on pm($35)
9. Go theocracy
10. Drop all land to 100% mbs
11. Burn all oil on the pm
12. Buyout your pm again

Step 0 – Save 8 turns. Try and wait until the last hour if possible or as late as you can in the set to maximize your last bit of income.
Step 1 – Build 2 turns of military bases.
Step 2 – Make sure you have like 100k military tech minimum and needed cash to demo your buildings. Go to manage your country and see how much you are going to lose with a government conversion. Mine is 31% and I need 1.4 billion for demo costs. I would need $2.03 billion on hand when converting government.
Step 2 – Sell max military units, all bushels, and all barrels on the market.
Step 3 – Sell max tech on market.
Step 4 – Convert to Monarchy.
Step 5 – Recall Tech.
Step 6 – Recall Military/Bushels/Oil.
Step 7 – Demolish buildings then destroy acres 1,000 buildings at a time. Better yet go 500 buildings/acres at a time if you have the patients to fluff around. The lower amounts you demo and trash acres in, the cheaper the process will be.
Step 8 – Check the prices you can sell bushels at on your private market around 50k acres. Keep checking the prices every 1000 acres at this point until you get to $35 a bushel. Once you get it to $34 a bushel you much want to check price in 500 acre increment. Might not get to the point until you are down around 3k acres. STOP DEMOING BUILDINGS AND ACRES NOW.
Step 9 – Sell all your bushels.
Step 10 – Convert to Theo now before you end up forgetting.
Step 11 – Go back to demoing buildings and trashing the acres until you get down to just the MB’s you built.
Step 12 – Go to your private market and convert all your oil to generate military on your private market.
Step 13 – Buy it out. Buyout jets and turrets first, troops and tanks last as you will get more net worth for you cash out of those two first.I’m

Good insights. I'm not familiar with the ffo oil destock strat...



Tmac gave me this so credit goes to him. You have to have the right oil:food ratio or else do a hybrid destock and spend your extra $$$ prior to doing the final land drop and destock.

1. 100cs
2. ~1000 farms(or a total of 1000 farms/ICs) and 60 more CS, while taking care to allow pop to catch up with your acres by building CS
3.explore and build labs until you are 1900 acres anf fully built
4. batch explore 60 turns(it will cut you off after about 35-45 turns depending on govt)
5. build up your empty acres with Labs
6. destroy your farms/indies and replace them with labs
7. tech 200 turns
8. switch to casher or farmer

Oh yea that’s really smart. If people convert to theo mbr then maybe that would work as well and maybe better than rep casher, destock would be awesome and you can tech and cash without switching, I like it. My one concern is how hard it is to switch at higher acreage or if you can get enough land for the casher go be worth the $$$ to convert.
