We need Oldman back, Xinhiuan or however be was spelt, afaik, Azn, walls of stalingrad, Oden, and so many more. I'm gonna see if I can get ahold of my old Neo friends the swedish team and get them back in earth.

Rob welcome back.


I remember you its Herbs here. Came back this is my second set. Another solid player to compete at the top. I couldn't be be happier. When we last played together that was 7 or 8 years ago.

I'll need 2 more tech allies also.

Sorry for your loses as my d allie. I hope you hold it until the end of the set regardless of the loses. I have a feeling I will be seeing some more hits.

I may be able to squeak 2 hits in on you after turns then, lol boom would there be fireworks then on me.

I would think before the hits it would have been 175m units involved more or less to make it a successful break. I have it figured I could have a 2.3m dollar savings in expense if my turrets were normal and jets on a destock. Crazy cost with running from retals with turrets absolutely mind boggling expenses these last 1000 turns. It was fun but I have zero interest in the future on playing like this again. Way to much work and time the first 40 days.

175

I hold Vendettas also, makes the game more interesting.





A vigilante with ludacris explanations and hypocrisy at its finest. I had the opportunity to talk to him and I can say as idiotic as his reasoning he does believe in his reasoning and actions. So to him with his delusional grandeur he believes he is justified and to that I say have at it. I am happy that at least your running on a crusade of sorts to better the game in your mind and not just being a total fluff. Stupidity is better then just a prick.

Even though Bugg did say one point when I hit someone and he deleted that it was fishy. I would never think to that level someone would care enough in the game to actually warrant that approach. And I would think at this point he would agree with me also.



This may be happening planned or not in one way or another

I would have to think staying rep and jumping of the private and public market would give the most bang for buck. Especially if you just purchase troops of private and snag any cheap public regardless of the expense cost to future cashing turns.

I just do not see stocks being big enough to warrant a theo conversion with such horrendous penalties. I always liked the phase in slowly and reduce optimized turn usage and grow with cheap military.

Good tips for any country on primary.

You played a fantastic set for a first timer. Well played man well played.

I agree with you here Delphinus. I thought Bug and think Bug will be the only one to challenge for the win at this time.

Gl all in the destock portion which should start commencing today or tomorrow for some folks.

Same here, I have me coming in at 96m to 98m and I will also be extremely disappointed in that result.

As I was writing a reply I realized something. One player switching really makes a difference, 2 or 3 switching and it tanks for the set.

Same as what I wrote above I take it back. Realistically the market is so small that soon as 1 person purchasing heavily it will become almost emptied. I'm talking like we have 300 players and deep markets. It would be awesome if we did indeed hit that after the reboot interface changes.

Why stock when prices are so cheap? To me this is the part when we should accelerate our countries forward not hold stagnant. For 2 billion cash can jump like 11 to 12m net with these unit prices being below 105 and by millions and millions of units.

8 days left perhaps one of the techers drops 5b worth of food and bumps up 25 to 30mil soon off the free military prices.

Also 8 days left I'm surprised tech is holding around 1500. I honestly thought It would be down around 1100 to 1300 by now. Lots of interesting things happening.

Thank you all for the answers, appreciated!

Merry Christmas all

Enjoy the family time or enjoy the time almost being over and back to peace and quiet.

I was hoping for someone to be like hey day 7 lol. I'll get the old scribble pad out and do it the old fashion way with a pencil.

But thanks it seems to simple when you say it like that.

When would be the ideal time to quit using bonus on expenses for a commie and switch to booms? I honestly thought for some reason we had 22 days left and just checked and its 16.

It is Christmas upcoming so I will accept that hug as it is the season for giving

Good, about time. I also quit purchasing it 2 days ago. Now I play the gingerbread man and run as fast as I can hopefully no one can catch the gingerbread man.

Also a huge reason I played slow this set I have been running the entire set from the Mongilian empire. The entire set I have played in fear and playing different then normal.farming. I would be much farther ahead in land if I never touched him earlier. So what is another 3 to 4 people chasing me meh boom goes the dynamite.

Also on a different note I talked to Mongilian and asked if he would not retal me. He never said yes or no so ya been playing scared for 4 weeks running with higher then ever turret to jet ratio. Higher the I ever play so that should say something there.

Also there is 1 massive all jetter right in the top 10. Michel Naim Aoun hasnt formally declared his intentions but I believe they are looking for a serious exchange of land. So again i have been playing scared....... this set is right now the most fun I have ever had playing earth. Also I'm still on holidays for another week in cuba so it makes it even better sitting by the pool watching my kids play hitting people who never get hit.

Honestly it goes to what skywise said earlier. I can not keep farming people to quit. Already this set 3 people quit from my farming last set 2. I'd rather hit people higher up the food chain then keep hitting players barely hanging on. I just can't justify it as much anymore and if and or when I get smashed back then realistically I did whomever I hit a favour.

When Serp retals me and relax and you and cunmorah each will have a massive positive on the exchange. I had fun some lowbie never got farmed and everyone wins. Anyhow that is my thinking. Wrong or right I attempting something more then farming.

Thank you I thought it was also but it appears no one wants my expensive jets

I'm still sore from the last ramming you gave me KoH lol.

But at least if Serp hits I'll be more open for buisness hahaha

Jets inbound

Now these are not normal jets they are new jets. Stealth technology and upgraded weapons sooooo they will demand a premium. I'll be selling my new jets for any buyers at 158 per jet. A fantastic deal if you ask me folks.

Shake the board and see who the knights and rooke and pawns are.

I'm a queen still vulnerable beyond measure, let's see who is a chess and who is a checker player. Realistically your one or the other in math and life.

Big players getting hit let the cluster feeding happen and separate the strats. I sincerely hope I dont finish above 47k land and 100m, so smash and grab folks the time of big moves is upon us.

Bug is correct, I am bigger thus limiting my ability to grow. I have only the ability to hit 24 players and the majority of them I have. But if last set is any reminder I enjoy playing this way. I am not afraid to take a big retal it makes the game.much more fun with the chase.

My tech does support my land I'm very tech heavy for a commie. I'm at the point where I'm almost done purchasing tech, so yes I have the ability to grow fast and quick. Which again will hinder me later with expenses. But it doesn't matter it's all for fun and if and or when people make retals it becomes even better.

Good luck to all finally at the fun part of the set.

Haha Delphinus

I like the first 2 weeks of a game the last 2 weeks but the middle just grab and grind is boring for me.

This time however I'm still away from home for 10 more days so the boring part I'm really not playing. Really enjoying it this way and I'll return for the destock portion.

Have indy finally to 155.5 percent happy about that. But tech is getting pricey again.

1.6m here

I've been rocking the heaviest weapons tech I ever have. Heavy this set and much needed. However really slows down my other techs but I guess good thing I have a +35% tech effectiveness, that really helps. I'm looking forward to when tech bottoms out here over the next 2 weeks.

Not joining gdi was a big mistake. Anyone at anytime could retaliate towards him or even smash him if he made a retal later on with no warning. Unfortunate for whomever that was but I I definetly agree with Hessman123 on this one.

Wow, a long thread to read. Lots of action this set! Everyone is getting hit... this is good, spice things up a bit.

178

My desire to win outweighs my sympathy towards easy targets. This will lead me to take advantage of the system rules in regards to humanitarian ranges and double, triple tapping.

He definitely has to expect a response, it would be foolish to think otherwise. This should be good practice for both of you. I also think when its over you should be able to make all this trouble worth it by capturing a surplus of his land.

With theo casher I look at it this way. You start out with the best building per turn bonus, cheapist units as a purchaser and best cash generating tech with a 50% bonus to population. Essentially getting a distinct early advantage over every strat besides industrial producers. Plus I used bonus turns for first 12 days to essentially give me almost a extra days worth of turns on everyone else. Plus what you had mentioned need to come out of the gate fast and aggressive. Hit those all together and it's a recipe for success. Favorable tech price is always a bonus to speed it all up however still strong choice even in expensive tech market. Mid game it weakens out with bushell price then becomes a beast on destock. So first 1/3 and last 1/3 game it's a champ. One of my if not favorite strat to run.

Cruise missiles should drop readiness 5% a hit along with destroying units. Make them a little more useful on these solo servers. I read that somewhere, this is someone elses idea, I just like it.

Lol, fantastic government switch. Exactly what the server needs. I wish him the best. Also when your done with him perhaps a few pointers you can send his way. I took a peak and would consider him in the newer category of player.

We do not want to scare more people away. Last set I was guilty of farming someone who i had though quit. Needless to say he send me a very shamefull message directed at me and then deleted his account and basically said he quit due to me. Due to the lack of players and as someone who recently returned it would be best he takes his lumps, learns and does better next set.

I'm not preaching here in any way as I continue to hit the same. Just simply stating fact that we are in desperate need of another 100 to 1000 players. Everyone at this point is important especially if your tasty land .

I was starting to get ideas:):)

I was wondering how long you would take him hitting you like a land farm.

Agreed

A waste of time but pleasant read.

Looks like to me way to many commies price will plummet as fast as Serp and Cumorah move up. Tech will be no different lots of techers. Food market looks thin like fluff and probably goes higher then last set during stock phase.

But I tell ya apart from food if tech and prices fall the way it appears, it will shape up in a hurry for cashers.

I think its safe to say we need more food. Lots more food, we all need to enter the room a full 3 seconds before we actually enter the room.

PHEW I was worried for a second I forgot I was TrimFalcon (#90) and it's a good thing I didn't hit you DeLpHiNuS. Lots of trickery out there this set.

This set I'm BeE Po bEe po BEe pO (#29)

Hahahaha

Tech so far has a much better start then last set. Food oil the same. Last set I purchased of private market along time as a theo, this set so far unit price is cheap and not needed to private market shop.

No

Excellent

Seems there is enough fascists and industrialists at the moment to make 3 of those things happen. Lets get 4 more full time big techers in the mix. KoH and Bug you both should stay techer. Help for the greater good.

If we could keep tech below 2500, oil below 200, food below 40 and units 130 and below that would be great.

Impressive jump Relax lah

Gl all final hours.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of these oil and farm barons make there jump. Balderdash will be a 95mil country I hope I can hang on to 3 or 4th.

I agree tech start was junk for you folks. I remember purchasing 2400 to 2700 the entire beginning 3 weeks.
