Very much enjoying our little fling.

I'm confused though, usually when someone gets this vengeful I die. Are you having trouble this set? Did I accidentally do things right?

I was throwing sucker punches thinking, that after the game someone would be pissed enough to stand up & challenge me..
In the last hour of the set, I was thinking of farming chutya, because he had $1.1 B or maybe Cx, as he was messaging me lotsa fluff. I figured he was mad enough already & chutya was being decent, & diplomatic. I spied around & found (#2) & he had a $B also. I decided ..ahh somebody new to piss off & get money too...Game over & chuty got the win. I figured #52 would get it, as on a spy op, he had 360 turns on 26k acres.

You say there is no "Netter Farming" a few sets ago ebert tried too, but he started too early in the set & Primeval put him down & he gave up....

So my new goal, since nobody stood up...
Is to work on this new strat of Netter Farming.
I agree with you, that PS is over powered, but I'm going play it like mad, while it is...

The strat is simple... farm bots until Saturday nite, then farm fat netters, until end game.
So get yer def up, get tanks & buy war tech..
There's a monster lurking in the night..

<3. This.

So, do you always act like an arse when people ask questions? :o)

It's clearly my fault. I had the audacity to ask a question on the internet! /s

Yup. Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Sooooooo are $93 turrets a normal thing, or are we swimming in Communists here?

Wait, hitting other humans is this taboo?

I thought everyone is was spying looked pretty light on defense. (I figured my wipe was due to being improperly weak on defense.)

Isn't this supposed to be a war game? All work we perform is military, or military supporting.

Ive forgotten GDI before and got targetted gor being the fattest, highest ranking non-GDI player. I remembered GDI the following reset.

Mmmm. Bots. (Is there a list of the bot archetypes running on the live servers?)

But glad I went ahead and spent bonus on GDI.

As a side note, do these attacks by #14 make sense? https://www.eestats.com/express/country/100

It appears to me that #15 was hit then #14 retaliated for her.

Awfully interesting that she (#15) is one off in registration order (or is that not how these numbers work?)

Is this a normal way to get bumped off?

https://www.eestats.com/express/country/76

I was in a 1:1 war with another country (guess I should have pancaked him the whole way.)

Suddenly after he couldn't finish the job, a player I grabbed jumped in to finish me off before I logged back in.

The published formulas for Industrial Complex (IC) Non-Spies and Farm (F) Bushels formulas do not seem to agree with this. Additionally, my small amounts of practical tracking disagrees (A few FFA plays tracked in google sheets.) I do not see any hidden scaling term related to the ratio of (Pop / MaxPop)

Is there other production that's tied to Pop/MaxPop ? Tech?

(But I haven't tested it yet. Come to think of it, I have finally bought tech in a game I have live.... Maybe I'll plug my NW into my calculator and see if it's off by my research ;-))

I found a Pop Growth formula on the Wiki:

Min(BioFactor*Trunc(Round((MaxPop-CurrentPop),0)/3,0),BioFactor*Max(40,Round(0.03*(1-Taxrate)*CurrentPop),0)) (Thankfully, I had figured out the max-40 already but was thinking the hidden modifier is NW or Bushels)

Of course CS is valuable for lowering time to build. I was curious if there's good reason to spend effort building small amounts of structures while making CS :-)

I found the production formulas for Military Units here: https://wiki.earthempires.com/index.php/Military_Units But I'm having trouble finding anything about Spies. Where can I find a formula for Spy Production?

I noticed on FFA there's some basic auto-starts. Most of them involve a high number of Construction Sites (CS.). Is it optimal to start that way, or is that just to have folks skip a few hundred clicks od the mouse?

What's the formula for Population Growth? I was reading the formulas pages, and also digging around in these forums.

How does a famine (Not enough bushels on hand) affect PCI? Is it permanent, or just one turn?

I found the decay threshold for cash on hand (2B, expressed as "corruption" in the interface) But I was unable to understand food decay. Is it always decaying at 00.01 percent? (Food - Food/1000)

Are there other decay effects? (Barrels, military, tech, etc)

Thanks in advance for any answers!
