I can do bomb banks, raid oil, and raid food, but I can't commit espionage.

I don't seem to be able to commit espionage despite the clause in GDI that says "Unless you have attacked a country twice or more, that country will only be able to commit the following attacks or harmful spy ops against you: standard strikes, planned strikes, steal tech, bomb banks, burn oil, and burn bushels."

What's the answer?

Unity against antagonists

ANS is recruiting on the alliance server. No bullfluff website or application required. Idgaf about your experience.

I never got that message. I'm the 16 still in NEO.

Ok, get them Richards ready. I ain't gonna spit on them and I'm all out of lube.

I've been trying to reach out to the community for a clan to join. I guess being killed for no good reason will be no different than any of my other stints on this server.

Fixed that for ya

I'm looking for a Team to join for this upcoming round. PM me please if you're looking for joiners.

How often are bonus turns awarded in express?

Did eestats go offline?

I'm down to join any alliance. I never thought I could do it alone, but I'm impatient and wanna play now. I'll be joining the first alliance I can.

Pm me if you want to clan in the alliance server. I'm

Hey, I don't know anybody here, but I enjoy playing and created a new tag for people who want to join. PM me for tag and password.

Why are there more than 100% for some government types in the server stats?

as a CI, you want your Industrial tech maxed. Follow that with Military, Business, and Residential - in that order. There are two ways I see continuing to produce. I tend to lean towards the all explore, which is just using turns to explore. You gotta make sure you keep an eye on your food levels and cash levels when you do a batch explore (exploring a lot at once is better than just one turn at a time. trust me or read the wiki). The other option I try to avoid is cashing turns. You produce just as normal, but you lose less money cashing turns. You don't actually gain anything out of it, though - that's why I'd recommend exploring.

There's a third option - warring - which I'll recommend avoiding until next set. Essentially you spy on other countries to see what their armies are like, then do a Standard or Planned Strike against them. It's essentially power vs power. Troops=1 Jets/Turrets(Attack/Defense)=2, Tanks=4. Standard is 1:1 Planned gives you a 50% power bonus and also puts your attacking brigade out of commission for 20 RW hours. Your opponent's government bonus + weapons tech also play a direct effect on their army's power as does your tech. You'll also end up spending 1 barrel of oil for every 25 units sent into combat.

Don't neglect defensive alliances can provide your opponent with up to twice the spied defense power and to account for 10% of random chance thrown in there for good luck.

Didn't join GDI before retal - cost me a top 5 finish.

Sometimes it takes me 60+ hours to retal.

You sound like a bigger whiner than Cable.

If I can offer some advice, take the hits until you figure the game out for yourself. Don't worry about retals. Realize it will take more than one reset to figure out the game mechanics.

I like using the Express server to learn strategies. I started by experimenting with different strategies and netting before I started learning the art of warfare. I'm still learning both, but getting better all the time. I probably won't break the top 100 on the Primary this time, but I've learned a lot that I want to do for the next reset.

In the mean time, beef up defense and focus on netting with your strategy.

getting called an asshole in a forum means you're winning at the intarwebz.

How does GDI work exactly?

I'm getting hit repeatedly by someone who should be too large to hit me. This guy is nearly 4 times my size. Isn't GDI supposed to protect you against opponents twice your size?

Think I'm screwed?

Is it just me or didn't eestats used to display current round (and previous round) government type distribution percentages?

That's funny, b/c jets are also related to dog fighting.

I wasn't questioning that part. I was questioning Tech being worth 2. I thought they were worth 4.

Using Troops as the base multiplier (1), Jets and Turrets are worth 1.2 and tanks are 4.



The wiki suggests that Tech is double the NW of Spies or equal to Tanks. You're a GM so I assume you're right, or is this a typo.

I'm obsessed at the moment. Played off and on since 99.

Maybe 3 sets a year before and under Swirve. Under EE before this year, probably about the same. This year every set in Primary, Tourny, and Express.

696 Hours in total. At current minimum wage ($7.50?)- $5220.

I could be wrong, but I think the bugs subforum and questions and answers subforum are locked out to "new members."

Regarding tech

Buy, buy, buy!

1: gave CI another shot
2: started way too late
3: sucking less
4: I'll suck anyway

That's all I've been doing. Ain't no cheap jets around!

This is what I was looking for!

Thanks

I saw this already answered in another thread, but I can't/am to lazy to find it.

When you place an item up on the market for the auto buy ($1000 on express $500 for tourney and primary), does the market immediately buy the tech or does it have to "travel" like everything else?

HEY XINHUAN!

what's THUNDERHORSE's bit?

Can we get some? Damn.

How should one go about changing government types mid reset?

I'm having trouble reading the wiki on this topic (under destocking) http://wiki.earthempires.com/index.php/Destocking

It's saying

Does that mean buying food and then placing it for sell on the public market alongside technology and military (presumably at a price it won't sell?

Don't you still lose networth and buildings due to the revolution?

I wish this would've happened before I got butt-fluffed by datacore, but I suppose I deserved it.
