Just in case you misunderstand the idea - you'd still need to bait Ratski and his "neighbor" (if he didn't hit you first), but this time, instead of Ratski being able to retal, he can FS you.

This just prevents the baiting behavior, so the next time Ratski single taps you, you can kill him immediately without needing to "bait" him. (And maybe this is what you mean.)

I've KRed the countries that have topfed me in the past, sometimes having to kill 2-3 in a single set in express, but there seems to be a never ending line of folks who are ready to play that game. lol And also, the same people never learn no matter how many times they get killed.

There is no such thing as "enough defence" on a server where turns are 360(360), and there are so many all-jetters ready to fire 10m jet PSes, only for the all-jetter to abandon country after grabbing the land!

On to the next set!

I sell on private the entire set, and i try to get to max agri before going for mil tech, unless the differential between agri and mil is very big (e.g. agri at 5k, mil tech at 1.5k).

Depends on your government, and how many relevant buildings you'd grab, but for non-theo/dict, prob 100-110 bpt ballpark (380-420 cs). You'd want to buy as much (income) tech as you can whilst building CS.

I'm nowhere near the best players in this game, but I try!

Go to https://earthempires.com/preferences and change "Game Profile Privacy" to allow other players to see status of your countries (we can't now).

Originally posted by saplingg:

Bought a bunch of mil tech, Traded in oil rigs and ent/RES for 5k mil bases and jumped off the private market without switching govts at $36/bushel

This seems like the problem here. You don't want any other buildings other than farms and CS as a farmer. Whether you buy rigs or not, depend on what you think the market prices for oil will be; if you're Fasc (the easiest gov for Farmer), you prob want to have some rigs for self-use at minimum.

In general, you probably want to start stocking at turn 1500, so aim to get to your target acreage and max income techs by then. CS works best when you build them earlier, balancing need for growing production. Ideally try to get to your target CS by 10-12k acres, and 50-60k by turn 1500 is a respectable land target.

Also worth pointing that Express has different food prices on PM: it's $38 max for all govs except Demo (which is $39 max).

It's a little difficult to run a challenge in this environment now - you're already gimped from playing with a handicap, only to have randos fire salvos at you. If we run something like 0cs or tyr casher, we wouldn't even be able to retal, since we'd be barely able to just play turns. lol

I actually didn't expect holy dorm to be as hard as it was - income was super low, and ate a ton of food!

Ok so there's at least 3-4 of us it seems. Yes you can grab, but you gotta rebuild your land asap when you grab so it's just res (with a small amount of ICs for spies only - you can't use the ICs to produce anything else).
