As an Indy, Normally if your finishing your last grabs with 12-14 days left, and have 60/40 jets/turrets, you need to spend a few days boosting defense to protect from retal, THEN when you’ve out grown any threat, slowly transition over days to a higher jet count as the threat level lowers, that’s optimal for the situation on this server. There’s always a nutcase who will blast you if you go all jet with 2 weeks left, it’s too tempting for people. You have to slowly transition as the risk level decreases. In alliance server, yeah sure change to an optimal expense level right away, but here no. It’s more of a risk doing that than grabbing with 12-14 days left and having a few extra days with a few percentage more turrets.

Primary server is the best because it isn’t just the optimal math. It’s also feeling what’s going on around you and reading your opponent’s. Negotiating through all these players that play by their own rules is far more exciting.

Secondly; thats really dumb to play with so high defence late game... Those last hits that required them to get those defences are really costly for them. Not only do the acres not pay back as many times as earlier acres that were aquired with lower jet/oil expenditures but also those turrets are damned expensive.

no I wasn’t eyeing you for a long time. Just took a spy because you were one of 2 viable countries left to hit, and yours was the only one that would allow me to hit my land goal.

It’s a risky hit for sure, but as demonstrated every reset, I take huge risks to reach my land goals on time. Sorry, that we aren’t allies this round, it definitely isn’t meant as an insult or anything, just my final grab on the one of the last countries available in the server. I kind of play robotic on autopilot, and forget to think that some people have emotional connections or responses in this game. I apologize and know that you will do your best to hunt me down for payback. 😉

Retal success or not, I’m totally ok with allying you next set to avoid this kind of situation if you like. I never hit an ally, not even a tech start ally. I just don’t carry DNH’s or grudges from set to set. Every round is a new round to me. I had my last hit on Ugo last round, and he obliterated me with a hit back. This round is a new game and we are allies.

Im going to talk like I'm a real old timer here. When I first showed up 3 sets before this one I remember people thinking 35k land was big enough and stock worthy. I came in and Molotov that first set and went to 50k or something like that and pushed it. I remember Bug making a comment during a talk thread the next set how now one will win on 35k land anymore with Ponti and Molotov going to 40k to 50k. Now 2 sets later look at everyone hit that and push farther past that land mark. Its incredible how the general playstyle has turned more competitive and aggressive with land gaining in such a short time frame. I for one like it this way and happy it's going this way. But on the flip side it has to be tough when your not at the upper ranks of the game now.


I’ve always shot for 60,000 acres, which seems to be getting harder to attain every set. Bigger player base used to be way easier to hit 60,000 - 80,000 acres consistently.

Time to start farming small indies then, and transfer their production into our pockets. It doesn’t really matter how many indies there are. They all become one. Lol

It’s so competitive trying to find the best land not in DR these days. Some days you can’t find more than one good target... so you give up and take the risk of farming.

True. if in fact you are a rainbow strategy, people will target you more. If they hit a rainbow and build out of its range, the less efficient rainbow has a harder time trying to claw back into range to hit back. Rainbows get farmed hard. Play an efficient country with lots of options to ruin an aggressor, and you won’t be farmed.

You are a curious one for sure.. I've been wondering why you felt you needed 2 mil tanks and 4 mil spies for the past month or so.. heh


Not that hard to figure out.... I was toying with the idea of causing some havoc. But I couldn’t bring myself to interfere with guys finish so I left it alone.

If you are 8m, you can hit him. Only way you can’t is if he grew to over 32m nw (4x your size).


It’s a tough server man. You can’t lay low and stockpile here, as all poorly protected land is feasted on. It’s eat or be eaten. All land and resources are slowly funneled up the food chain, so do your best to learn to get on top and stay there.

This is an unethical server. You must be aggressive in your attacking and you must be aggressive with your defense. You take advantage of everything you can, and cede nothing without a heavy cost.

I honestly see this as a deterrent for free players and newbs to play. Probably been discussed already, but that could be a huge advantage for the paying players. Hope it doesn’t go through.

It’s a ruthless place to try and survive. You either feed the lions, or strive to climb above and be the lion.

That’s the challenge of primary, and why it’s a fun challenging server compared to alliance. You can’t hide here.
