66 missile strikes on a Republic. That was impressive. As a Tyranny he might have added 20 more AB's or GS's.

Was wondering just how much damage I Tyranny could do if someone broke gdi.

I wonder though, would less missiles been more devastating as a dictator?

Of course I am not top ten, and probably never will be, but, I always leave some turns on the board. It does two things. It makes it a little more difficult for people to figure my log in a play patten and, it leaves me room to retal.

One down side, if you get caught with your stuff mis-priced in the market, you could be forced to recall and sell private or lose turns if you have too many turns saved.

To me this is more important now that tech stealing is off the boards. I now have to wait until cash comes in, then hit the person before he logs in and plays. So far this set it has been ok doing this for a retal. However, I like tech stealing because it hurts more and I don't have to time my spy ops.

I am a little preturbed that I still don't have 43 chems. I keep hoping someone gets annoyed when I retal and breaks GDI so I can spend a day making him hate life. It is too bad about Retribution. I was so hoping to ruin his set.

So, question.

Retribution, now dead hit a bunch of people multiple times, a couple of them special attacked him until he was dead.

I had been attacked but normally retal with spy ops but he didn't have anything worth stealing so I was waiting for him to come out of DR so I could toss a days worth of Chems his way and then leave him out to be farmed.

I advised the two guys hitting him that was my intention. If they a
Had listened to me and we had been able to drag his death out for a long time, would that have been coordination?

No bonus, but if some guy did that to me I'd go to town on him too

It seems that they would let him out of DR so people could farm him, or I could send 10 Chem missiles, of course if he is still around when I have 43 chems I will on load them one day.

You want to see a fail, see Retribution. He is in. DR of 34. I was afraid I was going to have to not be all explore to finish my Retals, now I am worried he will be dead before I get the chance.

Qazulight, typically ROR is referring to a retal on a retal. So for instance someone grabs you, you then retal the hit, then they hit you again after your retal hit.

I guess it is more of an Alliance server term but I hope that helps :)

I see. For a GDI member it means breaking GDI. For those of us who maintain Tanks Troops and Turns, this is a good thing.

Ok, farmer fascist or tyrant. Tyrant is pretty cool, having the ability to run through 80 turns of mayhem is pretty cool. On the other hand, being able to farm for basic cash and play with a little oil on the side sounds interesting also.

I already named my country so it be all explore with the only military strikes being retals. If not I might consider dictator for top feeding. (And general hate and discontent)

So hard to decide.

I'm a little less pleased with these changes, but at least they're in and it's a start. Will at least stop the random tech stealing, and running 50 tech stealing ops as a 'retal'.

50 spy ops as a retal warranted in my opinion. It keeps the game fresh by forcing new and different tactics.

As it is I will figure different ways to insure consequences for land grabs.

I will be farmer with a tech start. Need allies in a few days.

I typically don't get into wars, I'm thinking all explore, and you top 10 finishers, I carry a high SPAL, so even if I finish 30 or so, I might make a decent intel ally.

We ll, at 39 with 4 hours left.

I consider that pretty good for an all explore while not knowing how to start, or de stock and having a defensive ally at war all set.

I am thinking farmer/oiler all explore next set. Playing the market should be interesting.

This set I did not make a tech start. Next set I will, I found getting the tech I wanted at a price I wanted was too difficult not to build labs early in the set.

Ok, I ran offensive allies last set, maybe I should have been deleted. I would always figure the breaks for myself, and my allies and the yield. I would use their jets and mine, but would leave my tanks and troops available. I typically would only make one strike every other day, not because I needed to let my allies use my jets, rather because I needed to digest the land I took.

If I were running a Dictator and was top feeding I would think that the digestion would be even more difficult, so once every other day would be max.

It seems that if a country gets hit three in a row, the chance for a retal is reduced. It is even better if the country is in GDI and has farmed me first.

Just askin' got not offensive allies this set.

As for prior arrangement? Doesn't everyone try to get allies at the beginning of the set? Surely you don't want to run with no allies until you randomly stumble on one?

If you have 3 offensive allies and share intel with them, is that considered dis allowed coordination?

I don't understand why those countries got deleted. We're they Offensive allies sharing intel amongst themselves?

It ain't over 'till its over, if you take an action you should be ready to accept the consequences.

I don't retal everyone that hits me, only the ones that I find profitable, when I find them profitable , for as long as I find them profitable.

When you think about it, I play by Calvinball rules.

Hum sounds like a good name for a Breaker country.

Wouldn't want stain the Qazul (casual) name with all that ill will.

Given the level of unprovoked tech-stealing/harmful ops you did last set (and this set, no doubt), don't make the mistake of assuming there's any 'good will' attached to the "Qazul" name at all. :P

Oh I was just learning last set. I didn't realize until late on last that the stats website keeps track of all the hits for me. So, I don't need to hit random people, I just wait for failed spy ops and a farming from a GDI member netter. A retal from someone who has hit me once opens themselves up to unconventional attacks.

So while I am all explore, I am not passive.

However as a dictator, my goal would be to incite disgust, discontent and despair. With a couple of like minded intel allies and some like minded offensive allies, It could quite fun in an evil sort of way.

Or the fact that 2 years after this was brought to qzjul's attention he hasn't removed/fixed them. Speaking of the top feeding going on, hopefully the offenders get topfed heavily. Put that obnoxiousness to good use.

There are some very fat upper folks. If I was in a farming mode, the top feeding would be brutal.
