Also yeah, just keep us on 17. I've experimented with a test country on Tournament, and these changes kill land grabbing.

I knew there was a -10% for GDI! I posited that last set and nobody was able to confirm it!

144m is a dang good score, and it's fun to see commie win this time. The no-GDI thing is even stranger! There were rounds in the old days where anyone not in GDI anywhere near the top 10 would just be a lightning rod for douches doing missile dumps. Heck it still happens randomly on tournament all the time!

I'd even go so far as to say that it's totally legitimate for the guy in second place to GS away the bushel stock of the guy in first place if the second place player thinks that taking that risk would secure him the win. Express style GDI does restrict that style of play which is unfortunate. Historically speaking, pre-emptive special attacks on solo servers are almost never used that way. They are used to make trouble and to ruin the fun of other players.
I've done that with bomb banks before when the top guy had 0 spies and $2b+... :P

My spies still managed to get caught a few times and I ate a bunch of missiles. Hah

I think most of the drop off is from the lower level of player which makes sense, because it's hard to be a diehard playing this game in 2021, while also not that great at it, and farmed harder and harder every round. Everyone will drop off eventually though, nothing lasts forever D:

Looking at some of those old resets with high ranking non gdi countries there were over 1k countries

Slagpit, please do change this! I've been yearning for this, haha, with a frankly somewhat embarrassing amount of posts on this small subject :P Thank you!!!

Interestingly, Requiem, I've discovered that mock code isn't even correct. Getting the 12 hour bonus does not actually reset a switch. The mock code implies you can log in every 12 hours and you'll be maximizing your turns, and that would be manageable for me (8am, 8pm, sure!) but to actually max turns you have to push the 18 hour timer back repeatedly, which means logging in during the middle of the night, which I don't do and can cost me an average of 1 turn/day over a reset.

This means I finish a Primary set with 50+ fewer turns than people that can log in more often. A change that will give everyone playing once a day the same number of turns would be much appreciated.

I think when you get attacked it should say

Forces from Molotov invaded your lands! But don't lose heart. This kind of thing happens in a war game!
You lost 500 acres
50000 turrets
5000 tanks

Same message will go to me when I get topfed so I too remember not to lose heart and that this is a war game.

Yeah, I agree with both Rob and Tmac. I like the settings and don't want the server tampered with, but the smaller players get fiercely farmed, way more than they did before when there were more players to attack. I know because I'm guilty of farming them, and I know they get frustrated because they send me messages crying. Not sure of a simple solution other than players coming back to the game :(

After commission that means you need turrets selling at 119 to make any profit at all. If you're selling at say $135, you're making $15 per turret and $18 per jet.

Now, there's only 3 GDI commies so far, and maybe one commie-to-be that's still a monarchy. IF there's a military shortage, like I suspect there will be, then there could be money to be made there on jets/turrets. But how much?

You have to factor in your market size.

at 10k land, you'll generate 1.2m jets and 1.2m turrets/day (plus bonus if you invest there)
At the $135 rate, that's like $21m on jets and $18m on turrets. Per day

Not even clearing $40,000,000 in a day on 10k land LOL

I thought we talked about bushel stocking/cycling a few sets ago over in game messages. But actually you ended up getting kinda unlucky in the end on this destock period with 2 of the 4 big commies totally combusting. Military prices would’ve been a lot lower for longer. Still looks like you’re hitting the big 9 figures of net though!

My math says I suck at this game and will not even come close to those numbers. rofl

Land goal is 30k land on day 30

From there: that's 10k tech per turn, 54 turns a day, $3100 per tech point - since prices never crashed this set. Very unusual, and that's $1.6b/day+

Then say you tech for 26 days before you've jumped high enough that it's no longer profitable. that's over $40b earned (and we'll just ignore the cash/food profits/expenses and the fact you're not starting at 0 net here).

say you manage to turn about $25b into $50 bushels that sells at $70... and the rest breaks even. Now you just made $10b more. Impossible in a normal round since food usually crashes when techers destock, but here beepo falling to the wayside and the low number of techers made the reverse happen.

So now you have over $50b to work with. Buy $100 jets/turrets and that's 300m networth, LOL. Of course once you're spending $50b the military market prices will come way up but even $125 average is 240m net.

Of course I don't think 240m net is possible either, there's too many losses at the margins and things would never work out this smoothly on the numbers. I do think the 175m net i mentioned before or even a little higher is realistic though, but ONLY in this reset and not in the future.

These market conditions are perfect for a techer. This is like a $175m dream scenario... selling bushels for a $20 profit, jumping off $95 military. 😳

Are you sure about that? They were both suddenly deleted. :s

I wonder if they got popped for something real or if someone just filed a report and a mod was clearing the queue and didn’t look hard enough at it. Of course there obviously also could’ve been something we couldn’t see too but I’ve seen reversals before.

Accusations like that are bound to happen when they name themselves the same thing, but they don't seem to be coordinating attacks to me. #51 slipping in a grab of his own on #32 is nothing of note. I overlap grabs with lots of people a lot more than that.

I find that the fewer people there are playing, the more times people trying to win have to hit the low countries, and then the more likely those people are to quiet probably, leading to fewer people playing, and more times we need to hit them,
