That's super helpful. Now I understand. Early in a set I feel as if everyone else is doing horribly - aka I'm in the #1 spot and nobody's networth is rising.
But that's because they're accumulating huge amounts of cash and bushels. Their networth is 'hidden'. Can't be attacked, can't be seen on score, because it's on the public market to preserve it.
People build up millions of bushels, then at the end of a set, sell it to private market and then cash in, buying military off the public market.
I had no idea this was going on.
It seems as if this is not a game of making decisions in an evolving set. It's actually a game of making linear equations intersect on private spreadsheets. AKA, I grow linearly in a hidden manner for X hundred turns, destock at the end, hope I'm at a higher networth than other guys all secretly doing the same thing.
Not all strategies stockpile on this server though. Some spend the majority of the round putting all resources into gaining massive land and buying tech. 😜
