Why can't we also see all the goods for sale instead of just the cheapest goods? Say for example I need to buy jets for a retal it really sucks when I need 2 million jets so I buy 1 million at 150 and then there are no jets left or only jets that make the retal prohibitively expensive, if I had known this I wouldn't have bothered buying the million jets I am now stuck with. Also applies to oil.

Also with tech say I need 300,000k military to max my tech and there's 100k for sale under 1000 so I think ok this might be viable if theres another 200k at 1200 or something. I don't want to embark on pointless tech purchases if the remaining tech I need isn't available at the price I need.

Part of the appeal is the old school appearance. The game is a relic from the early days of online gaming so should retain that look. Try and get some press / news stories / someone to make a documentary on the game to spread the word, some people who maybe don't know this game would dig playing it as some sort of hipster retro experience if they knew about it

Can anyone explain what this does? Does it simply increase the maximum units you can have on the private Market? Thanks in advance

As commie / indie you need to buy as much indie tech as you can so your productivity is around 150% or better.

To try and balance expenses buy business and Res tech but don't build those buildings and buy Military tech so your expenses are at least 90% but don't build military bases.

You need to sell a lot because you will be running at a deficit before too long but don't worry, if you need more military units you can replace whatever you've sold in just a few turns.

Basically you can't really sell all your military so you lose NW because you can only sell 30% of your military at any time, as you produce military every turn you will replace what you've sold and add to it.

I've got a commie guide somewhere I can probably send you if you are interested PM me.

Only build Indies and construction sites and nothing else. Don't tech. Sell jets and turrets to buy food and tech.

Also if you want a nicer server than team, Express is NOT the way to go. Team is prob the most laid-back server, depending on what tag you join and what fluff is going down.

I don't know what the naming conventions are but the name definitely looks bot-like you can see why it might catch someone out but yes #3 should have checked properly.

Anyhow I have more of an issue with quadruple tapping and wanting to declare war (which can't be done in express) hardly seems proportionate esp when he got all his land back in the first hit. Why players can't just deal with these things fairly and move on I don't know, I find I can't even finish a round of express unless I'm a commie armed to the teeth, makes for a dull game.

I'm just clarifying that yes he's is / was a new player, I asked him to help kill #54 and he complied, I'm not saying complaining on the forums about being killed is ok...the last thing we want is a forum full of people complaining about things...

Give it another go Merlin, it's not always like this (depending on what tag you join).
Its not really fair to blame Merlin as he wasn't aware of the politics and I'm he doesn't have the same bestial warlust as Sonak. He's not Sonak by the way, I was 100% convinced he was at the beginning but now I'm 100% convinced he's not.

Awesome Tag.

I wholeheartedly recommend this tag if;

1 You are into sneak attacking allied tags
2 You want to reach the top of the DR table

PS sneak attacks and multiple hits are only to be sanctioned by the glorious leader Sonak. If you multi tap anyone else you will be thrown to the wolves and not supported.

Bonus points may be earned in this tag by claiming to want peace but constantly asking what time the war starts like a bored child on a long car journey asking 'are we nearly there yet'.

40 will do it (unless somethings changed in the last couple months?) If I have 20,000 acres and get 800,000 military tech I can sell at 36.

40 tech per acre I think is what I was thinking. Basically I want to sell my bushels at 36 as a demo.

I know this already but I stopped playing for a couple of months and forgot...

How much tech per acre do I need to max military tech? I have in my head it's 20 but I'm not sure now.

I didn't quit I just got to the point where I couldn't be bothered. I just pictured myself clicking attack over and over again for the next three weeks and couldn't face it, the prospect seemed so unappealing and warring with people from different timezones...I just thought fluff it and never logged back on until now...Also I've been busy buying and renovating a house.
Sorry for dropping the team in it - I'd played every set in n HCnFC for many many months and don't like to let ppl down that's my only regret.

Can't say I agree with lowering yourself to the level of the very people you've been killing for the last year though. To each their own I guess.

Well, remember that if I was in GDI last set, I would very likely be in the 70-80m nw range and beat you both. lol But alas, it played out the way it did, so congratulations SuperFly on last set's win!

(Last set I did a Tyranny rainbow into Demo Techer and had a lot more time to resell. This set I played straight up Demo Techer with less time commitment - had 2m tech points to clear on the last day at very poor prices owing to my supply flooding the market.)

Hmm so far, it seems that Indy and Techer are the most successful strats on this server and Casher/Farmer seem really difficult. Is that accurate? When was the last time a casher or farmer managed to win?

Also guessing absolutely impossible for an Oiler to do anything here.


I netted 26m as a farmer the set before last and that was with blowing a ton of turns on retals so it's not impossible to imagine an optimal farmer, grabbing like crazy and being lucky enough to avoid getting grabbed netting around 40m and maybe winning. I've not seen it done though.
