have tanks is the only way to stop it, rebuilding land takes lots of time (rebuilding CS's first) and buying more tanks so it doesn't happen again takes a lot of cash. Best to avoid it in the 1st place.
Marshal that debate was decided wrong then. I remeber multiple times when I was on watching my goods sell then someone elses hit for the same price and theirs would sell before mine.
You should convert to commi and tear down all buildings other then IC's and CS's. Selling military every day (twice is better) is how you make all your money for building, tech food and oil. Also you want to focus on jets and turrets for most of your production (you make the same number of troops as jets and turrets per indy and they ushally sell for much more).
I'm guessing your getting a few LG's on you each day preventing your land from growing more. I've found in tourny that you need to spend the first 1/2 of your turns buying tech and then 2nd half buying military until 1m+ turrets. Then switch to more tech I can only suffer through about 1 or 2 days of multiple LG's, after those you grow large enough few even look your way (and I ushally start grabing those poorly run commie indies too). I've got a 8k casher in A right now and havn't been hit the last 2 days.
The strat is all-x MBR, and he runs it better then anyone else (not me). At this point he's been stocking for over a week now and has probly 100m bushels or so.
As a C gov you should tear down all buildings other then Industrial complexes and construction sites. Sell excess military (twice a day is better then once but i've done both) and buy all the tech, food and oil you need (along with having money to play turns and build your Indies).
trep the sad part is he's not blind attacking he's gotten the spy opps on them (or at least attempted with a decent spal) and then bounced the majority of the time
One point that people are missing is SOL NEVER CONTACTED ME ABOUT ANY OF THIS.
not once did anyone from sol contact me at any point in this set before they killed my country. They never talked to me about droping pacts or any anything. Thus my question at the start, SOL WTF.
The only contact I had was from a SOF leader (don't remeber who it was cause they contacted me ingame and can't check those messages anymore) who stated sol already contacted them as their police and wanted my country killed.
Also there are pleanty of wars where people leave there restarts untaged for a while for growth, people policing haven't every killed those before. This was sol board and nothing more and anyone else saying something else is compleat and utter BS.
1st I didn't send FA or recive FA from anyone the whole set (even though I was both asked and offered).
2nd Sol never even came and talked to me about droping pacts, a sof head (who was policing for sol in the laf war) came to me and said they were already asked to kill my countrie cause I had pacts with allainces at war with sol. I told them I would switch out pacts as soon as I could find replacements for the ones I had (then made posts on this board asking for them). I didn't bother switching my intel pacts with dead laf countries cause it wasn't helping those countries anyway.
3rd to DL's question my country had the same chance as netting as every one else in here who tries, they probly have 1 alliance they can talk into not hit them (even though I did get grabed 5 times by laf this set). I just ran a better country then you could and people learned to not mess with it. As long as I didn't do anything to the point that makes an alliance want to kill it there should be no issue and I didn't, sol is just being full of BS.
"You wanted to be part of the war, you could have joined the LaF tag.
You made your bed."
I didn't want to be part of the war, thats why after I was told to drop my pacts with lafers I switched them out. I had pacts with pdm, lcn, collab and the fist and none with living laf countries.
I honestly don't know why I was killed, if this goes back to when LaF and SOL were at war and I had a couple of pacts with LaF countries and was threatened to etiher be killed or drop pacts...and I did drop them...my question still stands.
I'm 20k acer techer with 10+m turrets and am looking for both def allies and tech allies. If anyone is a good techer or good def and needs allies send me a message.
"His pacts are really why he is doing so well. He is in a really strong tech ring."
Actually the tech ring I am in is really crappy. In the past week I have only gotten tech from 1 person (my good tech ally) the 2nd switched to I think farmer and the other went inactive. I'm trying to get new tech allies right now found one and think i found the other too.
got a 15k acre techer but only 2 tech allies right now, if anyone's got an open slot and doing a decent amount of tech right now send me a private message with your country # and i'll send you a pact
