I am liking the low food prices, I thought whoever was selling food at 34 early in the set learned their lesson, but nope, they back at it from time to time.

Well now that you bring up French rolls, yeah those are way better than bread slices.

You use TheMafia's script KoHearts? It is pretty sweet.

Thanks, i caught one more example where its happening but i click away from it so fast by instinct i missed it twice already, more fixings are on the way

The previous patch also had to this annoying tendency where the calculated cost of items would not disappear on it's own, had to erase it before putting in my value. No longer does that so great job on that fix too.

I will try almost any gov, I don't think I ever tried tyranny, but tried everything else. Demo is one of my faves cause the 0 commission grows in value as you grow. Over the course of the round it can be a couple hundred millions saved. The three turns to attack I don't mind much since I tend not to farm countries often, and in the case of a demo farmer, the penalty is minor since you are producing food all the same.

Heart and sole is a weird combo, usually people go for being the heart and soul, though one takes what one can get I guess.

Okay real newbie question, I been adding my weapon tech to the 1.5 PS bonus and multiplying my raw numbers by a single figure. Seems to work most of the time, but is the 1.5 bonus applied to already tech boosted off or raw numbers alongside it?

For example, say my weapons tech is 30%, I multiply my raw numbers by 1.8 in a PS. Should I multiply raw offence by 1.3 first, then 1.5?

Don’t forget to add 10 percent extra just to be safe otherwise you will bounce sometimes it seems like randomly almost. I’ve been sure I sent enough and bounced until I started sending extra.

Pay attention and don't forget to add in govt bonus as well... or you will bounce an easy retal like an idiot. like me ><

I somehow managed to succeed on most of my attacks even though now I realize I was over sending by quite a bit.

Yes, I believe everything is multiplied. So if you have 100k jets, 100k *1.3*1.5 would be your offensive power. The same applies on the defense side with the only caveat being weapons tech doesn't aid defensive allies. So as the set lengthens and weapons tech is more and more important, defensive allies contribute less protection overall. Typically early set countries don't have significant weapons tech because they are focused on production techs and military. This is also why it is easier to retal late set.

Thank you

not sure if it is (Def * govtbonus * weaponstech + allies) * defbonus * 1.1

(Def * govtbonus * weaponstech * defbonus + allies) * 1.1

But I use the first one so that I never fail when I calculate fully. It rarely matters.

To add to what Gerdler said, once you get there, then you can divide by your own numbers to get the final total number of jets needed:

[(Def * govtbonus * weaponstech + allies) * defbonus * 1.1] / yourWeaponsTech / 1.5 for PS / govtBonus = jets needed

Express is a great place to practice doing these calculations quickly on the fly, but I made an excel sheet with all of the formulas embedded for Primary attacking. As long as I copy over the correct numbers for the defender and their allies, it works great. [/quote]

So weapons tech get calculated before 1.5 PS bonus? I just add the two together, seem to do alright most of the time.

My theory is that if you allow a country to get out of your humanitarian range because their network is too high, then you are very average at playing this game and deserve what you get.

If you allow a country to constantly hit you and then drop out of your humanitarian range and their net worth is too low for you to attack, then you are also very average at playing this game and deserve what you get.

Also if you grab KoHearts' earthquake prone land and have to spend 10 turns rebuilding - you are above average but you still deserve what you get.

Actually commie farmer got like 700m NW in 1a iirc. It was the 2nd highest NW commie in 1a ever iirc, or 1st i forget?

Really......huh...... maybe next set project for me!

I am sure you can make it work, but 10% market commission vs 0% for demo, plus the sale size cap, that will add up to serious coin in the end game.
