Or stop putting a target on your back by using DeathFromAbove as your country name. There are plenty of people who will target that name on this server...... particularly with your double-tap = kill (whilst hiding like a coward in GDI) policy.

He's been deleted multiple times (about a dozen or so, I believe) for collusion/running multis, and I fought him and his friend/multi for about half a year and got him deleted several times before I quit this game. He and his friend/multi would, and probably still do, target people at the same time. He is NOT a good person.

Thats still Bull sh*t I have never run two countries it can't be done from the same IP address, Don't believe me go try it. And see for your self how fast you get deleted ! Lol I am still playing but I am not all ways out to start wars, but double tap me And I hit back. I have been killed, nothing new, some wiped me out with nothing but spies, others with Tanks and still others use troops to kill me so, I have learned no defense is perfect there is all ways a weakness. And I all way's build up spies first, because good players all ways have strong spies. that slows some would be attackers down a bit. if there spies get killed 3 or 4 time , most will move on, to find a easier target. I haven't made a kill in Express yet but I do have some on Alliances and in FFA. I just don't like wasting my turns for a kill in Express, I like to net land, and I like to make large land grabs. If you guy's want to have a good contest try to too see who has the best land grab per set and use EE Stats to prove it, and post it here. Because all you jokers love to make land grabs.


Best land grab - rofl that takes absolutely 0 skill. Stock at a certain acreage, buy up mil so the fattest country is about 95% of you size and then wham.

Fattest country takes a lot more skill - building the defense to keep your land is a lot harder than going on a farming spree with 10mil jets.

Mon has it advantages over tyr and dict early in the reset when you are exploring and getting your bpt up. Once you are ready to grab then those govs have better advantages.

I like staying mon until it is time to switch to techer - theo has a lower sell price on the PM. If I plat tyr techer I switch to tyr just as I start grabbing. No need to have a lower per turn income until it is needed.

Was fun to come back and play this damn game again. Farewell to the great La Cosa Nostra tag. I'm off travelling but this reset might have been enough to get me to play for a while longer when I get back home. Highest networth before this reset was ~ $130mil...... now it is $400mil+

Good times.

I like the idea of CS and Land and tech as it gives a faster start to restarts and doesn't make the FS too overpowered. Suiciders are abusing it - so nerf the military/cash side of things..... drop back to 10% or even 5%.

No - not a higher autobuy. You can still only sell a % each time.

A priv market enables all tech to be sold at one. Stocking tech could create a more varied endgame.

Gerdler - I was looking at the private market as a possible solution to longer servers, where tech can be dumped at the end at a similar price per acre to bushels, or higher.

Higher tech maxes and lower tech required to reach that max will bring other strats back in to the shorter games as it costs less to reach the same production as currently. Maybe less tech going to the market could help balance that in longer servers.

Just thinking about balancing techer with other strats.

A) Increase TPT forumla by 10% - increases supply to the market
B) Slightly reduce (3-5%) tech required to reach max tech - reduces demand for technology and increases the speed at which other strategies max techs.

As a balance, particularly on longer servers introduce a private market for tech.

A Mon farmer with 200% tech will produce 10.6 bushels = $307 per acre selling on the private market
With no increase in TPT the equilibrium point is $921
With a 10% increase in production the equilibrium point would be $837 per point
Set a purchase point of $7k on the priv market with a max of 5 Points per acre of land for each tech.

Private market tech is not impacted by mil tech or military bases.
Private market tech sell price is impacted by labs at sell price = base price x (1.4x(1-labs/land)). In essence 100% labs will increase the sell price by 40%. This essentially sets a public market floor sell price of $1170 for a Demo and $1246 for a non-demo (not commie)

Reason for equilibrium point being at a mon farmer with 200% opposed to higher is to compensate for techer being very strong during the early-mid game (express is a bit of an exception at times).

Part of me would also like to see the max for Bus/Res tech increased to 190% as a non-demo/theo.

In games with bots, the numbers will need to be tweaked as to not crash the market too early.

Flame away!

Given my knowledge of coding and running a game is 0 -
actual question for you Pang.

Is it possible (or practical) to make changes to govts on individual servers to better balance the strategies? Different strats are better for different length games purely because of the dynamics of the server. If it were possible to tweak individual servers it could provide more balance to each server and provide players with an additional challenge of being flexible.

Havent played for 8 years and dont remember it happening much, if at all. Bus/Res/SDI all have been bought out at various times through the reset. It was a very rare occurance.

If attitudes like yours are the norm then Im not surprised new players dont stick around if they do come.
