Why not just try to win anyways? especially if a lot of players get hit it's likely you still have a chance to win

I guess build your country with defenses and technologies and get allies to prevent attacks because you will always have players attacking other players unless you remove the ability to attack from the game all together

I like this idea, stocking is too complicated

I could use a better defensive alliance if anyone is interested

I have one that just keeps getting attacked every day now

I had one of those two countries attack me, and when I did my retaliation strike I was then attacked by the other one of them within a very short time, seems fishy

Sure seems like they are coordinating their attacks

^^^

That is a lot of stocking, I was planning to continue land grabs and then stock for the final 7 days

That country hit me as well, and for no reason

It seems that the really good players have the discipline to only attack countries that are approx 1/4 their net worth and then you have these other players who are attacking countries that are the same size as them and can easily retaliate

I've been watching the two or three largest countries in land and watching who they attack and trying my best to mimic their playing styles

40% wow, I guess you would have to pay money to get the extra bonus to get there wouldn't you?

I'm almost at 20% now and the round is half over, and I click those bonus ad things almost every day

What does everyone spend their bonus points on?

I've just been spending them on lowering expenses every time I get 8 points, I figure towards the end of the round it will pay off and I will have much less expenses per turn

I just found out the other day that the terminator series is the prequel to the matrix trilogy

Crazy stuff

It doesn't help with losses when you attack other countries?

that seems strange

If the cashers, farmers and techers all became nationalists and supported their own private markets first for military purchases, it would cause these industrialist to offer some blow out deals!

KoHeartsGPA you should tech military costs and sell it to me because I'm not paying these public market prices for Jets and Turrets

Its at $299 for turrets and that is outrageous

R.

I guess I should have played a farmer

Food is more expensive than it is in California

I was making a lot of food too

I also enjoy attacking the bots

I think I discovered last round that the amount of money I get from a bot when I land grab seems to depend on how much money I have on hand at the time, which is interesting

I grabbed a bot before and again after I sold a bunch of food on my private market and I think I got a lot more the 2nd grab

Likely not a very good one, I think you're supposed to specialize and not build all different buildings like you have

With 10,000 acres you should build:

500 industrial, 0 labs, 9500 farms, 0 rigs

or 10,000 industrial with 0 labs, farms, or rigs

or 500 industrial and 9500 labs with 0 farms and 0 rigs

Specialization is something even I remember from over 20 years ago

Some of you guys are really funny

I also think Galleri should delete people who land grab my countries

You think people are actually going to play a couple turns, and then go switch to the market screen and buy tech, and then repeat that process every couple of turns?

That sounds like a lot of effort for a free text based internet game, especially when it resets every weekend and it seems that no one cares who wins anyway

I prefer to spend a hundred or two hundred turns all at once

There's no way I'm doing anything every 5 turns.. hah

Cool, thanks guys

I'll go tyranny techer and then democracy

I still need two tech allies as well

Rocky.

How many techers is too many?

I only see two who have posted here

What's the best way to go techer on this server?

Tyranny, Theocracy, Or Democracy for full round techer?

R.

Nice win, congrats

I was the dictator farmer, Irwin Winkler

I also missed the end of the reset, as I was busy reading and posting on here, heh

Oh well,

Why would you do all explore when there are so many bots who are very easy to attack and don't retaliate?

I got to 50,000 acres and it's only my third reset playing

Cheers

R.

I'm going to play and try a farmer

My express farmer is going well

Cheers

R.

Thanks, very first turn played I got this

Your research teams made a Nuclear Missile!

That's because of your good luck and thumbs up

Cheers!

Wow, thanks for all the comments everyone

I will try a farmer this round

Cheers

So, what strategy are those 50k acre theocracy countries running?

I can understand the first place Communist country was an industrialist

But I don't know about 2nd and 3rd place which were both 50k+ acre theocracy countries

Anyone with insight please let me know,

Thanks,

R.

There are a ton of doctors speaking out against the vaccines,

They are causing all kinds of issues and they are already the deadliest vaccines ever administered in the history of mankind

I'm lucky to have a good family doctor who advised me to avoid the vaccine like the plague

Yes, it was Earth 2025, which was the year people were supposedly going to be rebuilding countries from scratch after the apocalypse,

Which now in 2021 seems like a plausible scenario!

I have enough troops to break your 10 million turrets, maybe I should attack you

Maybe some of the players should make a bot retaliation force and start retaliating on behalf of the bots and acquiring land from all of the largest countries

That could be a lot of fun as well

Why don't the bots retal?

Seems like it would be fairly easy to program that into the game and would maybe make it more interesting?

I remember playing this game in the late 1990's and there were about 20,000 countries in the alliance game

I once got to around 50,000 acres and that was a very land heavy country at that time, I was one of the largest if not the largest country in the game

Things sure have changed a lot

There are a multitude of treatments available for covid and it's really not that deadly, especially if you look after yourself and get proper treatment if you become infected.

It boggles my mind that no one in a position of authority talks about the importance of a healthy diet, exercise, and vitamin d, vitamin c etc. or the dangers of alcohol and smoking and obesity with regards to covid outcomes.

It wasn't that long ago that basically all of the media networks were telling everyone not to take the vaccine because it was rushed by the Trump administration.

Now that Trump is out of office the media networks and the Biden admin are telling people that you must take the vaccine, despite the fact that it was rushed to market via operation warp speed.

Personally I'm not interested in taking a vaccine that Trump forced the pharmaceutical companies to rush to market via operation warp speed. Vaccines should not be developed at warp speed because in order to move at warp speed you have to skip all of the long term safety studies. In truth there is not a scientist or doctor on this planet that knows what the long term effects of mRNA vaccines will be in 20 years or 30 years from now.

Another important point is that the vaccine doesn't even work like a traditional vaccine because it doesn't prevent you from getting the covid virus, it doesn't prevent transmission, and it seems like it is clear at this point that it doesn't work because they are already rolling out booster shots.

I also find it interesting that I am told I must take the vaccine to keep my job, but illegals crossing the southern border don't have to take the vaccine or even get tested for covid to come into my state. Also, it is just if you want a job that you have to take the vaccine, and you don't need to take it to be on welfare or food stamps.

Want to know who is except from the vaccine mandate? Congress, the Senate, their staffers, the CDC, Pfizer Employees, Moderna Employees, JnJ employees. All of these people are exempt from the vaccine mandate, isn't that weird?

Which strats are those two?

I think you are automatically in gdi and you would have to leave gdi before attacking anyone if you don't want to be in gdi

Personally I like gdi, I'm not sure why you would not want to be a part of it ?

Yeah, I feel like an idiot because I saw that message on my research page and I messaged several players ingame asking if they would like to be my research alliances and they messaged me back asking what I was talking about

Why do the in-game tips tell me to get research alliances when there is no option for research alliances on the alliance page?

Do we need to do allies?

Do people attack other players or do people just attack the NPC's?

When I ask a question, how can you respond with false?

How is a question false without providing an answer to the question, or an explanation as to what is false?

After 25,908 posts one would think you would understand how to write a post on a message board!

So.. I will ask again, how can the Atlanta Braves proclaim themselves to be the WORLD champions? How can the American baseball league call their playoff finals the WORLD series? Did they beat any of the teams in the Japanese baseball league? How about the other Baseball Leagues around the world? Can the winners of the Japanese league not proclaim themselves to be the WORLD champions? What is it about American sports that makes them so arrogant as to think they are the champions of the world without competing against any of the teams or leagues in the rest of the world?

So... why do they proclaim themselves to be the WORLD champions when they only play in America and only play versus American teams?

If he had done that he likely would not have died because I had 25% readiness and had to wait for turns to keep attacking at the end

I don't know what that means?

He hit me with 6 attacks, 4 SS and 2 PS and then I killed him with guerilla strikes and stir rebellions
